Salam After the khutbah, but before we actually pray Salaah, the Imam gives a plea to us to donate to the masjid. Is this halal?

If someone donates money to what seems like a charity but in fact— it turns out — is a scam— a front for a crime operation and they are ***confident*** the resources will go toward more crime are they required to recoup the funds donated to the criminal operation? Does the size of the sum matter? And what if more crime is known to have already been committed with part of the contribution but not all? And what if one knows the 'authorities' who might deal with such crime to be impotent ... is one required to act personally?

In Sahih Muslim 2689 , it is mentioned that: > Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying Allah has mobile > (squads) of angels, who have no other work (to attend to but) to > follow the assemblies of Dhikr and when they find such assemblies in > which there is Dhikr (of Allah) they sit in them and some of them > surround the others with their wings till the space between them and > the sky of the world is fully covered, and when they disperse (after > the assembly of Dhikr is adjourned) they go upward to the heaven and > Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, asks them although He is best > informed about them: Where have you come from? They say: We come from > Thine servants upon the earth who had been glorifying Thee (reciting > Subhan Allah), uttering Thine Greatness (saying Allah o-Akbar) and > uttering Thine Oneness (La ilaha ill Allah) and praising Thee > (uttering al-Hamdu Lillah) and begging of Thee. Be would say: What do > they beg of Me? They would say: They beg of Thee the Paradise of > Thine. He (God) would say: Have they seen My Paradise? They said: No, > our Lord. He would say: (What it would be then) if they were to see > Mine Paradise? They (the angels) said: They seek Thine protection. He > (the Lord) would say: Against what do they seek protection of Mine? > They (the angels) would say: Our Lord, from the Hell-Fire. He (the > Lord) would say: Have they seen My Fire? They would say: No. He (the > Lord) would say: What it would be if they were to see My Fire? They > would say: They beg of Thee forgiveness. He would say: I grant pardon > to them, and confer upon them what they ask for and grant them > protection against which they seek protection. They (the angels) would > again say: Our Lord, there is one amongst them such and such simple > servant who happened to pass by (that assembly) and sat there along > with them (who had been participating in that assembly). He (the Lord) > would say: I also grant him pardon, for they are a people the > seat-fellows of whom are in no way unfortunate. The word used here is مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ It is mentioned in Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3510 : > Anas bin Malik [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that the > Messenger of Allah said: “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, > them feast.” They said: “And what are the gardens of Paradise?” He > said: “The circles of remembrance.” The word used here is حِلَقُ الذِّكْرِ In al-Mu’jam al-Kabīr 6039 it is mentioned that: > Sahl ibn Hanzalah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and > blessings be upon him, said, “No people sit together to remember Allah > Almighty and stand to leave until a heavenly caller says to them: > Stand and your sins are forgiven by Allah! Your bad deeds have been > replaced with good deeds!” The word used here is مَجْلِسًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ In bangla it is called জিকিরের মজলিস In Is Group Dhikr Permissible? it is said that: > Dhikr in general, if it involves raising the voice and reciting in > unison, is a Bid`ah (innovation) that has been introduced into the > religion and was not the practice of the righteous early generations. My question is, how should we create a مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ * Is it like giving a khutbah, where one person speak and others listen. If so, then what should be the topic of the discussion. * Is it a place where a group of people sit together and say subhanallah, alhamdulillah etc. and an imam coordinate it Please let me know what is a مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ and what to be done there and how? * How do we sit? In circle or facing one direction. * Do we need a coordinator? If so, then what should he (the coordinator) do? Please give us some reference so that we know how to do it and get all these blessings.

There's this Narration in Musanaf al Shaybah which says that Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar ibn khattab (RA) burned the house of Fatima (RA) and Killed her.I need help to understand if this narration is weak or not. The narration: > "3734 - Muhammad bin Bishr narrated to us Ubayd Allah bin Omar narrated to us Zaid bin Aslam narrated to us on the authority of his father, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr after the Messenger of God, Ali and Al-Zubair used to go to Fatima, the entire house of the Messenger of God, and consult her and reconsider their matter. When this reached Omar bin Al-Khattab, he left until He entered upon Fatima and said: O daughter of the Messenger of God, no, by God, there is no one more beloved to her than your father, and no one is more beloved to us after your father than you. By God, I do not know that. If these people come together, they will stop you if I order them to burn the house over them. He said: When Omar came out, they brought her, and she said. **You know that Omar has responded to me, and he has promised, by God, to his servants that they will burn the house for you, and he swore to God that they would carry out what he swore to do, so they departed of sound mind**, so make up your mind and do not return to me, so they would turn away from it, so they did not go to it until they came to Abu Bakr. Please help me with this narration , is it saheeh or not. JazakAllahu Khayran

I am seeking for a Mashoora on a issue raised due to allocating shares in a partnership business among 4 best friends. The industry was clothing and capital is 400k. I shall name the business partners as A,B,C,D A is inputting 160k, and being a sleeping partner. (from London) B is inputting 160K, and at UAE. C is inputting 40K D is inputting 40K A has no roles and responsibilities. B will do the purchasing once in 3 months or once in 6 months or as the stock finishes. C and D will be conducting the daily operation and sales. The shares that was allocated considering the money and effort was, A - 20% B - 40% C - 20% D - 20% And it came in the following manner Capital Share from 400K - A 40%, B 40%, C 10%, D 10% Effort Share - A - 0%, B - 40%, C 30%, D%30 so Capital + Effort share = 40%, 80%, 40%, 40% out of 200 so out of 100 = 20,40,20,20. % so the problem that was raised, B is only doing purchasing once in 3 months or 6 months or as soon as stocks finish. C and D says Operation and Sales task are daily on going work and time consuming, so how can someone working in once in 3 months or 6 months have a greater effort share than Daily on going time consuming tasks. so they are demanding for more than purchasing or to reduce the purchasing share. so isn't it fare to go for a percentage of Capital Share from 400K - A 40%, B 40%, C 10%, D 10% Effort Share - A - 0%, B - 20%, C 40%, D% 40 so final profit/loss share will be 20%, 30%, 25%, 25% ?

if a dog licks a surface such as a bean bag and this surface is not wet anymore is it still classed as dirty? if it is how can i clean it ?

Salam. Is it true that Ibn Saad in Tabakat wrote that Aisha was 9 years old at the time of the engagement, and 12 years old at the time of consummation? Similar things are written about Ibn Hillikan.

Asslamualikum I have a doubt I am getting a lot of headache Can't we talk to our teachers who are female or can't we see them bcoz they are na mehram but in our school there are so many na mehram teachers and it is difficult to change school and teacher asks some questions and most of the teachers are elderly woman who have children can't we see them when they are teaching...

My wife has decided to separate because of reason that has happened is beyond repair. She asked me to get out of the house and I did, I reassured kids I am going to be back as they are still under 10. But my wife has decided to be separate. I am in another city at my relative. She been talking to kids about what happened and how dad is not gonna live with them. I have met them but she is not happy for me to meet like that. I want to know what rights I have on my kids, how can we make sure kids upbringing is co parenting. What goes Islam says about it? This is the second time she told me to get out of the house even I tried to separate the bed once but she won’t leave me alone. She has anger management issues. I wanna know in light of Quran how and what to continue when kids are involved.

i'm listend and read different sayings about Istikhara. But still seeking it's authentic way to do.

I know that it is haram for women to travel alone internationally but can a woman travel within their own country or region or municipality (domestic)? Because if a woman want to becoma a train driver she has to drive through a region or within the same country but come home the same day.

If a slave wants to make Mukataba contract with her master would it be compulsory for the master to agreed to it? Or Can a master refuse her? What if the slave is a non-believer prisoner of war and hates Muslims and shows hostile behavior?

I have a 14 volume Al-Bidaya Wan Nihaya. It is said that in the last volume it talks about end times Armageddon, Imam Mahdi, Yajuj-Majuz etc. But my last volume ends at the description of 767 Hizri. Am I missing anything. Does this book talk about End times, if yes, then where? Is my copy of the book faulty? If so, Where can I find the right copy of the book?

In islam it is said that the awrah of slave women is less than that of free woman. This is because it makes it easier to do chores as move about as explained by some. **However:** If ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a slave woman covering her head, he would hit her and say: Are you trying to imitate free women, O foolish one? So slave women would uncover their heads, hands and faces."(Majmu‘ al-Fatawa 15/372). This indicates that it was not only a way to make life easier for the slaves but there is another reasoning behind why slaves were forbidden to dress like free women with the full head covering. It seems that it was not an option but a rule. **Q:** What was that reason was behind forbidding the slaves from wearing a head covering and why not let everyone dress the same (with head covering)?

It says in Al Hidaya By Burhan ad Din al Farghani al Marghinani "Qisas (retaliation) is not called hadd as it is a right of the individual, nor is ta'zir called hadd as it is not predetermined. The primary purpose in promulgating it as law is deterrence from acts that are harmful for subjects"... "Purification (from sin) is not the primary purpose in hadd, on the evidence that it is ordained for the unbeliever as well" Source: book chapter 97, book 11 , page 207 https://archive.org/details/al-hidaya-in-english/page/n457/mode/2up From what I understand, Hadd punishments are very severe, and as it suggests, the purpose is deterrence rather than equaling the crime done. So, in islam Eternal Jahanam is very severe. Like Hadd, is that because the crime of disbelief is so severe or it is for the purpose deference? Please could you correct any misunderstanding Thanks

Salams all - I'm wondering about charging money for an Islamic dream interpretation service that I provide via my online tool Dreamstate (https://dreamstateai.replit.app/) . It costs me money to provide the tool (about $100 per month for various AI products that support authentic interpretations), not to mention the time away from paid work to build and improve it (significantly more $). The first 3 dreams are free, then I currently charge a minimal amount for lifetime unlimited access ($4). I have had feedback that Islamic services like this should be free entirely. But if I charge nothing, I can't continue to work on it. As a skilled revert who is otherwise unsupported financially, should I give up on building Islamic tools and go get other work? Then my skills would not be used to benefit the ummah. How does this work? I understand the premise but surely the context matters. Have genuinely been wondering about this for a while so any insights from anyone = appreciated

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, It has been said that each prayer has a specific hikmah behind it. For instance, it has been said that for fajr, it was because Adam عليه السلام saw darkness and became afraid and so prayed a rak’at due to fear, and when it became light he prayed another rak’at due to gratefulness — and this became Fajr. (Source: https://www.islamweb.net/ar/library/content/307/1937/باب-الصلاة-الوسطى-أي-الصلوات-هي-) Is this true? JazakAllah khair
