Can a woman wear a wig to cover her hair instead of some sort of scarf (hijab)?

I too my shahada on March 9th 2025. I was wondering can I possible marry a Muslim Man, while going through the divorce process from my ex (Non Muslim) husband. We have been separated since June 2024. I also have a protective order against him for me and our 3 children. I have no form of communication with him. I have actually tried to have him served 2 times with papers and now he has left the state that I reside in. I have no way of getting in contact with him and do not wish to have any communication with him. My problem is I dont have any Muslim men in my family and Im not a part of a Masjid so I don`t have an Imam. What would some of my options be??

Actually what is this misnah sanhedrin and how to reconcile this with Quran?

I'm not willing to act upon my feelings. These are just thoughts in my mind that really makes me relaxed while masturbating. They are just fantasies. I'm not harming anybody. Is it haram?

It is generally observed that exorbitantly high mehr/sedaq are set as the condition for marriage by the bride (or her family who represent her). This thing has the potential to set forth the idea of marriage primarily for the sake of material benefits rather then spiritual ones, coupled with the possibility of breading social wrongs and disrupting it's very fabrics, cynicism etc. Although, the wife has the right to get her alimony. But is it permissible to set forth demands, in the prenuptial, so exorbitantly high that marriage tends to become a cause for bad rather then good? Is there a suggested/advisable alimony that should be demanded?

Can you provide a Sahih hadith that clearly states Aisha (RA) attained puberty at 9 before her marriage was consummated?

Sun, Sunset, Sunrise, Orbits and Allah's Throne
I have a question about Hadith 3199, Book 59, Hadith 10.

I have a question about Hadith 3199, Book 59, Hadith 10. In there is told by Abu Dar that he heard from Muhammad(pbuh) that the sun at sunset travels to the Throne of Allah and has to get permission before it is allowed to rise up again. It ends with telling that that is is what verse 36:38 of the Quran is refering to. Is this a correct Hadith? The chain must be correct to make it inside Sahih Bukhari and the narrator must be a trustworthy person. But is it possible that he heard it wrong from Muhammad(pbuh), misunderstanded it or even confused it with other things? In the past it would not be as strange as it is now in this scientific age. We know now that the earth rotates around the sun and around itself. It is not the sun that goes around the earth. The day that the sun comes up from the west will be caused by the earth that starts to rotate in the opposite way. And the sun too is moving inside the Milky Way galaxy and I though that the verse in the Hadith refers to that last movement instead of refering to the sunset and the sunrise. We also know that the sun at sunset is still shining at the opposite part of the earth. If we think at night that the sun went to the Throne of Allah what should the people at the other side of the earth think while for them it is day on that same moment? Is it just me who does not understand how that is possible, or is science not that far yet, or is it symbolic? Can it be misunderstood and narrated by a good man through a correct chain?

What if they don't want me to touch them when they're arrested, but I have to because they might be suspects or even guilty? What if I have to touch people who aren't mahrams?

Islam is confusing and don't tell me there's three ways of answering dua.

I was 19 years old and my uncle gave me money which he said I would need to return at the rate of gold. So basically if for example he gave me 100 PKR - he would consider it as an equivalent amount of gold on the day he would loan me the money. The loan for studies and was given over a period of time. In the monetary terms, I have paid him twice the amount and the loan is still outstanding. Someone said that in Islam it would be considered as an interest (riba) in Islam!

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 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)?

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?
