Some non-muslims kept asking me if I did a certain sin, and were accusing me of doing so when I dodged the question, I said I did it accidentally, and then later explained that I did something permissible (but that permissible thing kinda looks like/could lead to the haram thing or could be mistaken for it), is this sinful, and am I sinful for such? (I didn't realize until after I said such that it could be sinful).

Explanation of Muslim 2662: can children go to hell?
https://sunnah.com/muslim:2662c > 'A'isha, the mother of the believers, said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) > was called to lead the funeral prayer of a child of the Ansar. I said: > > Allah's Messenger, there is happiness for this child who is a bird > from the birds of Paradise for it committed no sin...
https://sunnah.com/muslim:2662c > 'A'isha, the mother of the believers, said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) > was called to lead the funeral prayer of a child of the Ansar. I said: > > Allah's Messenger, there is happiness for this child who is a bird > from the birds of Paradise for it committed no sin nor has he reached > the age when one can commit sin. He said: 'A'isha, per adventure, it > may be otherwise, because God created for Paradise those who are fit > for it while they were yet in their father's loins and created for > Hell those who are to go to Hell. He created them for Hell while they > were yet in their father's loins. Here, the prophet contradicts Aisha, who said the child must go to paradise as he hasn't reached the age when one can commit sin. So does this mean children can go to hell if they were destined to hell when they were sperm? Another hadith from the same book https://sunnah.com/muslim:2644 > Hudhaifa b. Usaid reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he > said: > > When the drop of (semen) remains in the womb for forty or forty five > nights, the angel comes and says: My Lord, will he be good or evil? > And both these things would be written. Then the angel says: My Lord, > would he be male or female? And both these things are written. And his > deeds and actions, his death, his livelihood; these are also recorded. > Then his document of destiny is rolled and there is no addition to nor > subtraction from it.

On the difference of Starting Fajr / Dawn and Starting Isha / Dusk
Regards for higher latitude which fajr and Isha begins when Nautical twilight (-12°) even Civil twilight (-6°) in the summer, why there are too many criteria of beginning of Fajr (e.g. SIHAT Kemenag RI -20°, JAKIM Malaysia -18°, MUIS Singapore + MUIB Brunei -20°, Egyptian Ge...
Regards for higher latitude which fajr and Isha begins when Nautical twilight (-12°) even Civil twilight (-6°) in the summer, why there are too many criteria of beginning of Fajr (e.g. SIHAT Kemenag RI -20°, JAKIM Malaysia -18°, MUIS Singapore + MUIB Brunei -20°, Egyptian Geological Survey -19.5°, Muslim World League of Karachi -15°, Umm al-Qura KSA -18.5° etc) and Isha (Sihat Kemenag RI, JAKIM Malaysia, MUIS Singapore, MUIB Brunei -18°, Egyptian Geological Survey -17.5°, Umm al-Qura KSA +90 min. After Magrib (Ramadan +120 min. After Magrib), Muslim World League -15°, etc)? Why OIC not standardize and unified the criterion as OIC choose Turkiye Recommendation for Unified Global Hijri Calendar (as follow by Muhammadiyah, ECFR, FCNA and Turkey-follower countries)? New research from Tono Saksono prove that true fajr (fajr sadiq) begins near Nautical twilight. I've been asked this question in Astronomical Stack Exchange related on the affects of Light Pollution towards beginning of Twilight scientifically.

Okay so me and this woman met in college and she’s 3 years older than me. She’s Christian and tho not as practicing, she does believe in one god. She has a daughter from a premarital relationship at a young age and the biological father is out of picture. Is it Halal for me to marry someone like that? I really like her too and I’m planning to marry her in the future if it all works out well but I wanted to know from a religious perspective, the daughter is 5 years old. And if it’s halal, can I get the source and the teachings for this please? I have seen answers saying that her not committing Zina and repenting would be enough but what about the child, she does regret getting physical but she had a daughter from that relationship, would that still be okay? Jazakallah

He turns that to any (direction) He likes. Then Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) said: 0 Allah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience.(Muslim 2655) Its understood that this turning causes a person to become believer or disbeliever. Can it be concluded that this turning of heart makes a person muslim and not proclaiming the testimony Of faith?

Can someone verify these characteristics about the Mahdi , here is a Christian claim "" In broad terms, what the Bible says about the Antichrist are the same attributes as the 12th Imam, or Mahdi, in Islam’s writings. Here are some of the main similarities (there are more): Spiritual world leader (Revelation 13:8) Rides on a white horse (Revelation 6:2) Seven year covenant/treaty (Daniel 9:27) Global seat is on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:27, 2 Thessalonians 2:4) Beheads non-believers (Revelation 20:4) Will the Mahdi reappear, unite the Sunnis and Shias, and establish a Caliphate? Will he be the foretold Antichrist? Time will tell, but the case is rather uncanny and compelling." Can someone respond to these claims

I am developing an application which allows users to convert from Gregorian to Hijri dates and vice-versa.

Furthermore, does the Islamic Hijri calendar run on a standard 24-hour day just like the Gregorian calendar?

What does this mean? cause it appears from the words used in the translation that its talking in present tense but the tawrat and injeel didnt even exist at that point it was corrupted, so is the verse actually talking about when each of these books were around?

I have confusion regarding the claim which made by Jonathan AC Brown in his book about that some scholars, held the view that not just free men but even slaves could have concubines though they can only own if there master permits either by giving his own slave girl or slave can buy slave girl. Here is the source. I came across only an explanation of Al Kafi of Ibn Qudamah by Shaykh Ibn Uthymeen but I got confused about whether it was permissible or not. Here is the link to Shaykh's explanation. So, what is the Mutamad opinion among Hanabilah regarding this?

>Narrated Aisha: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Buath (a story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansar, the Khazraj and the Aus, before Islam). The Prophet (p.b.u.h) lay down and turned his face to the other side. Then Abu Bakr came and spoke to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) turned his face towards him and said, "Leave them." When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I signaled to those girls to go out and they left. It was the day of `Id, and the Black people were playing with shields and spears; so either I requested the Prophet (p.b.u.h) or he asked me whether I would like to see the display. I replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) made me stand behind him and my cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Bani Arfida," till I got tired. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked me, "Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?" I replied in the affirmative and he told me to leave. >Narrated Aisha: That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of Id-ul-Fitr or Id ul Adha while the Prophet (ﷺ) was with her and there were two girl singers with her, singing songs of the Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu Bakr said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an Id (i.e. festival) and this day is our Id. Does this mean that women can sing or not? Also, were the girls mentioned here mature or not?

Are all human species (like homo erectus) children of Adam A.S ? Or are some of them not human but just resemble them and have no free will? They are alleged to be around like 500k or 1 million years ago.
