How do I distinguish women cloth from men cloth?
In a fatwa about women wearing pants,I read that it is permissible for women to wear pants if it is loose & not similar to pants that men wear.

In a fatwa about women wearing pants,I read that it is permissible for women to wear pants if it is loose & not similar to pants that men wear. But I'm having a hard time understanding what kind of pants are for women. I mean men wear all kinds of pants these days. Can I buy a pair of pants from a shop if it says "Women trousers" on the lebel? Will that lebel be enough for me to explain myself to allah? Usually where I come from, people especially my moms age tend to consider pants as men clothing.however modern muslim women are seen wearing pants in recent times.

How many Sahih(Authentic) Hadith are there?
From the size of the major Hadith collections, I'd estimate that there are only around 80 thousand at most, including overlapping Hadith.

From the size of the major Hadith collections, I'd estimate that there are only around 80 thousand at most, including overlapping Hadith. Some links (quite unreliable) seem to put the number closer to 10 thousand unique Sahih(Authentic) Hadith.
Is there a study that identifies exactly how many are out there? If not, what are the major Sahih(Authentic) Hadith collections?
To be precise, I'd like to know from a Sunni perspective. But answers from other sects would be interesting.

Was it clear to the prophet's (SAW) people that there would be 12 shia imams after the prophet?

Salamun alaykum Shia brothers.
I want to be educated on the matter of 12 imams. I don't want to offend anyone or mock any beliefs, I pose this question and set of points as I want to receive answers. My question is, did the Prophet (SAW) and the 12 Imams really make the concept of 12 Imams clear to their people? I contest this with 3 points:
1. We have 10's of 100's of hadiths and quran verses about Salah, Zakat, Hajj, Tawhid and Prophethood. Through this repetition, we're sure about the necessity of the 5 pillars within Islam. If the concept of Imamah was essential, it would deserve the same repetition by the Prophet (SAW) and 12 Imams in hadith literature
2. On the Hadith of 12 successors , it talks about caliphs instead of imams, doesn't mention names and says they'll be from the clan of Quraysh when the 12 imams are strictly from his (SAW) progeny. The Hadith doesn't make clear who these 12 successors would be.
3. Throughout history, many Shia sects came and went, and many branches still exist today. If the Prophet (SAW) and Imams properly conveyed Imamah to their people, why such differences between the Shia sects on the matter of Imamah? They all have their own Imams, with no set of Imams having more evidence than the other (According to my knowledge). In Shia sources, does each Imam narrate a hadith where he clearly appoints the next Imam?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

From what I've learned, Muhammad was revealed the Quran over 23 years from angel Gabriel, and he told it to his companions who memorized it through rhythmic chants and such, and this memorization technique seems to have been common in ancient pre-islamic Arabia. Only after Muhammads death it seems that it was written down.
My question is, what were the exact techniques used to memorize the verses of the Quran. How did this work? Is there a known rhythm or way of singing or chanting them? If so, where can I learn this rhythm?

Explicit context of warfare for "whom your right hand possesses" in the Quran?
I've recently come across the claim by Quranists that what is commonly translated as "whom your right hand possesses" in the Quran (e.g. [33:50](https://www.quran.com/33/50)) actually refers to oaths and that the Quran itself never contains an explicit context of warfare or prisoners of war.

I've recently come across the claim by Quranists that what is commonly translated as "whom your right hand possesses" in the Quran (e.g. [33:50](https://www.quran.com/33/50)) actually refers to oaths and that the Quran itself never contains an explicit context of warfare or prisoners of war. Not being able to read Arabic, I'm curious whether this is true.
Question: which verses in the Quran explicitly talk about prisoners of war in the context of "whom your right hand possesses", if any?

If I ask my parents for something and they say yes to it, but they are reluctant in giving it to me and dissapointed about it, am i sinful for doing it, as it is not ihsan? For example, if i want to skip a day of school just for the sake of resting, and they say something like "ok sure, but im dissapointed about it and would prefer if you didnt". I should mention that if i skip school it causes them sadness and distress.

Could someone explain to me the difference of the importance of memorizing the Quran as opposed to memorizing the hadith?
I've been contemplating whether or not to focus on hadith and at the same time attempting to memorize the Quran. I would like to know the difference of the importance of either of the two. Kind regards

Non-Muslims Using Islamic Phrases

I have seen multiple instances of non-Muslims using common Islamic phrases, such as:
- Alhamdulillah (ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ)
- Inshallah (إن شاء الله)
- Mashallah (مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ)
Where Muslims have complained stating that, "Non-Muslims cannot use Islamic phrases."
It seems quite curious, does implementation of in-group terminology not signal some type of positive *endorsement* or *acknowledgement*?
Can non-Muslims really not use this terminology? Even if with sincerity?
