Hi everyone this is going to be a long read to please bear with me I try to make it as short as possible. I am a muslim girl from a household of 7 siblings my dad has 2 wifes my mom and then I have a step-mother and 2 step-siblings. My mom is British so I have always enjoyed the British culture and have been in the UK for nearly 10 years but before my dad worked in Saudi Arabia, and that's where it all started. My own brother sexually abused me for a duration of 5/6 years it started when I was 7. He use to buy me things like phones, take me out and buy cloths etc and do stuff to me in exchange, he never went in but always tried to put stuff etc in my behind and forced me to watch inappropriate content. I never liked it, I never wanted it but I was young and my family was never close, my mom and dad didnt really care about me or tought me anything or the whole family, no one is close, no one cares about each other. I had no support to tell anyone and never felt safe. It came out last year and no one believed me, not even my mom which is what hurts the most. I want her to not speak to him, or forgive him, or call or have any association with my brother because of what he did to me. My mom is old and doesnt know half the time what day it is. I tried to forgive her because after my sisters visted me and I told the full story they believed me but I didnt want to have to say it all for someone to believe me. They convinced my mom but its not genuine why didnt she believe me when I told her. My dad also found out but didnt call me, or didnt call my husband (who already knew), didn't message or visit me which also makes me so angry. My mom says she believes me but I dont actually think she does, when I visit her its so fake she thinks it's all gone away but doesn't want to talk about the actual subject, my brother, who abused me, used to live with us at my mom's house and I hate visiting because it triggers me. I went a while ago and when I left i cried my eyes out to my husband, i am just to angry and hate the house and my mom why didnt she believe me why is she still talking to him I just dont know what to do. Best case scenario I want her to talk to me about it and tell me she believes me and I want her to cut ties with that monster. But I know she wont do that as 'it her son' but I just dont know how to handle this. My husband has been through this with me and if it wasnt for his support, I dont know what i would be doing. He is very understanding, this issue has effected our relationship and it hard at the moment. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Assalamu Alaikum Sheikh, I am seeking your advice regarding my upcoming marriage. My fiancé’s parents are both 74 years old, but his mother is still very capable — she works as a social worker caring for children, and his father is also working. My fiancé is refusing to live alone with me after marriage, saying his parents are old and that he is their only son. I agreed to live in his parents’ house so that in the future he would not blame me for keeping him away from them. His mother has offered me her old gold as my mehr. I did not ask for any mehr, but she insisted, so I agreed for it to be written as such since my fiancé has no job yet after graduating from university. Due to him having a car now, he goes out all the time with his friends to their apartments and elsewhere, and he often returns home very late at night, sometimes after 2 a.m. He says it is acceptable because he is a man and can do as he wishes in Islam, but that women cannot. Our marriage is due in two months, but he has not made any preparations. He also wanted to extend the engagement for another year, saying he is not ready for marriage because he does not have a job. His father is currently staying in the bedroom I am supposed to move into, but he has not moved to the other room. My wedding was first planned for April, then changed to September, and then changed again. Now his mother says her son is too young and should not have gotten engaged. She also mentioned his father might go to Pakistan in October. I feel confused and unsettled about these changes and his behaviour. Sheikh, what should I do in this situation? JazakAllahu Khairan.

In Islam, predictions are forbidden. In this case, is it allowed to be a financial analyst, for example, because financial analysts essentially predict market behavior?

Assalamualaikum Can you provide a Sahih hadith that clearly states Aisha (RA) attained puberty at 9 before her marriage was consummated? There is no direct evidence confirming this. No authentic hadith states Aisha (RA) said, "I attained puberty before consummation." If a non-Muslim asks for proof she was mature at 9, what authentic references should I provide Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

In [this answer](https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/39757/17702) it is claimed that Non-Muslim women need a Muslim wali to get married under sharia rule: > the wali(guardian) of the Christian woman is a Muslim In a comment to it, it is claimed that Non-ahl-kitab Non-Muslim women need a wali as well: > a Muslim wali is only needed for a Muslim lady or a lady which is not of among people of the book Both these claims are surprising to me as I had never come across similar claims. It was my understanding that in matters of family law, dhimmis were mostly left to their own devices. **Question:** which madhahib (schools of law) require that a Non-Muslim woman must have a wali for getting married, and which of those require the wali to be a Muslim? --- **Remark:** The accepted answer does not offer references for the individual madhahib; if you have any, please add them as an answer.

I am aware that a Muslim can sell their slaves to another Muslim and then the one who bought the slave would have to wait for the menstrual cycle to have intercourse in order to be sure that the female concubine is not pregnant but is the Muslim allowed to sell their female slave to a non Muslim? Because a non Muslim would not wait for the cycle and could potentially exploit her make her do prostitution and other evil hideous acts

I am a developer. A client asked me to set up a system that collects public real estate data from a site like ImmoScout. The data is public (property details, no copyrighted material like images or descriptions), but the site’s Terms of Service forbid scraping. In some projects, I personally code the scraper. In other projects, I don’t code the main scraper — I just build the infrastructure around it, using a third-party API like Apify that does the scraping. 1. In both cases (building the scraper myself or using a third-party scraper), is it haram if it violates the site’s ToS? 2. if the client keap using the tool, would that be considered continuously participating in sin (siyyi’ah jariyah)?

As those who don't belive in Allah due to any reason. Thus does Allah sustain and provide them as they deny his existence ?

For example, if one wanted to learn how to tie one's shoe, or something of the sort which requires the use of the hand, and can only find a video in which has a woman (in which it only shows her hands/hand movement), would it be permissible to watch the video? (or in the case of real life, would it be permissible to watch how the woman uses her hands in order to learn the skill?) What about in the case of not focusing on the woman's hands and instead focusing on how she uses them?

Salam brothers and sisters I hope you're doing well. I've seen posts from people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community talking about how Islam is a homophobic religion and so is the Quran as they take our beliefs as offense because one of them said "your religion is calling me sinner" and they complain that Muslims and Christians are "homophobic" as we only respect lgbtq+ but don't support them. They think that by not supporting them we're saying they "don't deserve basic human rights" I've heard my parents' advice to just stay quiet but what I want is to stand up for myself and others who are being remotely harassed and being called homophobic because I'm seeing theophobia occurring to Muslims, Christians or anyone with religious faith more than any actual homophobia. So I wanted to ask how can I make others aware that I'm not trying to be hateful or homophobic while explaining that our religion is not meant to offend them? Because if I explain, they might likely say "you're using religion to backup your statement" and I don't want to just simply stay silent. I want to actually stand up and explain to them but without sounding mean or dismissive. I don't know what to say. I also feel that they're victimizing themselves because they believe some of us aren't "admitting" to being homophobic when we're not and using our religion as an "excuse" to "tolerate" them. While they demand respect, they're also disrespecting religious people by saying we're "allowed" to hate religion but we "can't" hate someone's sexuality and how being queer is a "choice" and religion "isn't a choice" I know that by asking questions about someone's religion is not at all criticising, but calling someone's religion "homophobic" isn't right.

Because sometimes when I take off my clothes I find that a little urine has come out without me realising it. Do I have to change my underwear for every prayer? Or i should just put tissue May Allaah reward you with good.

The Hadith what Abu Hurairah said to all of us. Is the "your mother" part specifically tied to the specific sahaba where Muhammed peace be upon him said your mother 3 times then father. I would like to know because it seems the Grammer used there seemed specific to the sahaba. And if it should be a general rule for all of ummah to prioritize mother. Even if you father clearly one who almost dies working all day?
