Is it regarded as immoral to marry a young girl in Islam given that prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6-7 and had her consummated when she was around 10? Generally, is everything Muhammad did considered as desirable, expected and/or good behavior for Muslims nowadays?

> *EDIT*: I am putting a bounty on this question. Therefore I added references and precisions to address the comments (some of which, I > believe, seem to have been posted without reading this question). This _may_ seem like a question that was answered [here](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/22887/what-are-the-rights-of-un-married-girls-to-choose-husband-in-islam/22890#22890) , or [here](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/12042/is-forced-marriage-to-a-religious-man-allowed/12086#12086) , or [here](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/29816/forcefully-married) (links from this site). But I looked everywhere, and no, none of these, or any other sites I found, would answer my question. All answers, all hadiths, all sources say that the consent of the girl is mandatory for the marriage to be valid **and** that her silence is a mark of agreement. As treated in [this question](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/22982/does-islam-support-pedophilia-or-child-marriages/23473#23473) , marriage with an infant girl, no matter how young, is allowed. (Yes, I am aware that **sexual penetration** is not permitted - see question 2, below). I am talking solely about the **marriage contract**. That is also confirmed [here](https://islamqa.info/en/146882) , with more than ample references and links to other sources. I cite here some of that link: > Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Sharh > al-Kabeer, 7/386: > > With regard to females, the father **may give** his minor, virgin daughter > who has not yet reached the age of nine in marriage, and there is **no > difference of opinion** concerning that, if he gives her in marriage to > someone who is compatible. Ibn al-Mundhir said: **All of those scholars** > from whom we acquired knowledge **unanimously agreed** that it is > permissible for a father to give his minor daughter in marriage if he > arranges her to someone who is compatible, and it is permissible for > him to do that even **if she is reluctant**. End quote. Now, to be clear: yes, a girl who is old enough to understand the situation must be asked, and if she says no, the marriage cannot occur as it would be forced and therefore invalid (since her consent is mandatory). All the sources and references I looked up agreed on that. The marriage of an infant, however, can be decided by her father because her father has the right to make that decision in her stead, much like he can manage her money in her stead, until she comes of age. So the marriage of an infant is allowed, but sexual penetration should be postponed "until she is physically able to bear intercourse"-quote from link above. One should insist, at this point, that "physically able to bear intercourse" does **not** mean "puberty", since intercourse with prepubescent girls *is* allowed (see all exegeses of [this verse](http://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=73&tSoraNo=65&tAyahNo=4&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=2)) . It simply means what it says: able to bear penetration. Getting back to the marriage **contract**, which is the main point of this question: if the girl is too young to protest, since she could not have possibly given her consent and remained "silent", she would grow up into a relationship and a situation that she did not choose. And even if sexual intercourse is postponed, she would eventually be subject to it. How can that marriage *not* be considered *forced* ? That was the main question of this thread. However, if you have answers, *and sources*, to the following additional questions, I would be very grateful. I looked for a some years now, I read all the books I could find in three languages, and I did not find what I was looking for. 1. If a girl that was married when she was 6 months old grows up and reaches puberty, can she un-marry on the grounds that she did not give her consent when she was a baby? I know that in Islam, a girl cannot divorce, only the man can, but I know she *can* make her case to a judge and in some cases the judge can side with her if the husband is unsuitable. But let us suppose her husband is very kind, very religious, very faithful, can provide for her and generally satisfies absolutely all conditions for a good husband. Can a judge allow the divorce *solely* on the basis that she did not give her consent? Did this ever happen? 2. As said above, sexual penetration is *specifically* only allowed when "she is physically able to bear intercourse", but are other forms of sexual pleasure allowed ? This is crude, I know, but there should be no "haya'" (shyness, حياء) in religion, and I have no way of making myself understood otherwise: For example, can a man masturbate with her hands or thighs? can he kiss her like he would kiss a grown woman? Can he touch her? Those are pleasures that "her body can bear". The only Hadiths I could find mentioned penetration, not other, one would say "non intrusive", forms of pleasures. I know Khomeini says so in his Tahrirolvasyleh, but he offers no sources, only he opinion, and that is not enough. On the other hand, the other sources I could find clearly talk about intercourse (when they say the man should wait). They do not, however, forbid such things as foreplay, kissing, and other forms of non-penetrating pleasures. I am looking for such references. 3. If the answer is no, then I have a follow up question. As I understand it, marriage in Islam has two main justifications: The first is to provide a legal frame into which a family can be built - kids brought up, etc. The second justification is to provide a legal frame into which sex can be had (to avoid fornication). Marriage to a child does not satisfy the first justification -since the girl is unable to have kids before puberty - but *could* satisfy the second justification. However, if the answer to question 2 is no, if even the second justification is out of the picture, what is the wisdom of marrying a child? Finally, and this is important, please understand that this is **not** a question about the marriage of the prophet with Aicha. All questions asked on that matter were answered time and time again. Please only restrict the answers to *general* Islamic rules that apply to everyone. Also, a gentle reminder: We agree that forced marriage is forbidden. If you know anyone who can answer, please do let them know. Second EDIT: I just would like to add that this is not a question about paedophilia in Islam (for which ample discussion has been had [here](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/22982/does-islam-support-pedophilia-or-child-marriages?lq=1)) . Please do not debate the "different cultural perceptions of readiness and maturity for sexual relations", it would be besides the point. I am sorry for being firm on this, but it is a question that haunts me since I found out about this subject and I would be saddened if the discussion goes astray. Third EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that question 1, above, is not clear regarding what I meant by "a woman cannot get a divorce, a man can". What I meant was "cannot get *automatically*" a divorce, unlike the man who decides alone if he wants to divorce, a woman's initiating of a divorce is known as خلع or (khul'a) and is not the same thing as a divorce (in that her saying "I divorce you" is not enough). Although this misunderstanding is not critical to the overall question, I needed to add it to avoid having the discussion go astray.

Someone told me that Islam allows marriage between first cousins (who each have a parent that are siblings). Is this correct?

Black Magic, or simply magic, is, as far as I know, forbidden because its purpose is to inflict pain or deceive. But in lot of fantasy novels, concepts such as magic are included, where magic is presented as such power that can't be carried out by normal public. I don't think it can deceive the readers anyway, for people with minimum common sense are well aware of the line between reality and fantasy, and the reader circle doubts even a normal life story will one day play out in their own life.

I want to know if including topics such as magic in books is forbidden or not.

Why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala did not call our prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) like "Ya Muhammad!..." in the Holy book Quranul Karim? Is it okay to address with this if anything Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala told addressing our prophet? Example: وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَى Is it okay to translate like: "And (**Hey Muhammad Sallallhu Alaihi wa Sallam!**) enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness."(20:132) The Imam of our local mosque said, "Allah subhanahu wa ta'la never called Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with his name, because, calling by one's name is not that respectful. So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala avoided it. But used in case of other prophet so that people could understand the respect of our prophet (pbuh). So, translating like this is not permissible."

I am not a native Arabic speaker so I am trying to improve my recitations by memorising. I recently started correcting my pronunciations of the Surahs I recite during Salat. Sometimes I forget to recite the correct version so I recite it all over again. As sometimes I don’t immediately realise the mistake, but after I’ve already recited more verses. What should I do in such situation? Is it okay that I am repeating the Surah? Should I perform Sahu Sijdah ?

Tattoos are haram, but historically they are quite common among the Bedouin tribes. Are the Bedouin shunned by other Muslims who consider tatoos to be haram, or is the conflict handled in some other way?

Which authentic Ahadith exist to act upon if somebody faces trouble, tough times, grief, et cetera, in his or her life? (I will post a comprehensive answer to this question) --- [...] "***whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured.***" Surah ***Ar-R'ad [28 ***] --- >Mus'ab bin S'ad narrated from his father that a man said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which of the people is tried most severely? He said: "*The Prophets, then those nearest to them, then those nearest to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth without any sins.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2398 ) and Abu I'sa classed it Hasan Sahih >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "*Indeed, a man will have a status with Allah, the Exalted, so if he does not achieve it with his deeds, He continues to plague him with what he hates until he reaches it.*" > >Al-Mustadrak (1/495 ) Shaykh Albani classed it Hasan in As-Sahihah (4/130 - #1599 ) >The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "*Know that victory comes with patience, and that ease comes with difficulties, and that with hardship there is relief!*" > >Musnad Ahmad (2803 ) classed Sahih in As-Sahihah (5/496-7 - #2382 ) --- Important: Utter these A'diyah/Adhkar with full Yaqin (certainty) to make it more convenient so that Allah answers it; so that you know exactly the words which you speak. Memorise the translation, and think about it (while saying them) as well.

The place i live involves people selling on the streets, so it is usual for someone to buy when they are in a vehicle and receive and pay for their products. However, when I was on a bus the seller gave me their product and just as I was about to give them the money the bus began moving because we were in the middle of the road. So the seller began running for his money and I quickly reached out to give him but it landed badly on his hand and fell to the ground. I believe it might have fallen into hole in the middle of the road and the driver of the bus had already gone past the road so the seller could no longer run for his money, and there were too many cars for the driver to pause suddenly, nor do I think the driver knew. I felt guilty because it was not my intention for the money to land badly especially since I had already received the product. I do not remember his face or name, nor do I think he remembers mine. Does this count as a debt if I gave him the money but it landed badly and I don’t know if he managed to get it or not? Especially since he gave me the product? My intentions were not bad and it happened very suddenly

Is it haram for an unmarried person to think about having sex? By this I mean seeing themselves having sex with a person whom they find attractive and thinking about how it would feel if they were a married couple in bed.

On the website https://islamdag.ru/verouchenie/23254 (last 2 paragraphs) I saw this (the website says it in Russian): > There is a certain category of najas that is forgiven (i.e. afwu). This is impurity that can stick to clothes from dirty streets if it is impossible to protect oneself from it, if the dirt is not higher than the waist. Afwu is made from raindrops flowing from dirty roofs; from a small amount of blood from a wound and from boils; from blood from an injection site (if it does not come out too much); from the blood of a crushed flea or louse; if a small piece of dung gets into milk, afwu is also made. If a baby vomits and touches its mother's breast with its mouth, afwu is made from this; if a little impurity remains on the entrails of a slaughtered animal after washing, afwu is also made from this; one can eat bread baked on a dung fire. Afwu is made from additives for making cheese. However, it is strictly forbidden to use the duodenum or other body parts of an animal that is not slaughtered according to Shariah standards or is completely forbidden for consumption, especially a pig! Afwa is also made from hair that has migrated onto clothing while riding a donkey or a mule. In short, from all najasah (impurities), from which it is very difficult to protect oneself, the Almighty makes afwa (forgiveness). (This website tells all about the Shafi'i madhhab) So, the question is, is it true that there really is such a category of najis in the Shafi'i madhhab, and also, if this is true, it turns out that I can perform ablution, prayer, along with this najis on my body? Also, does splashing water from the toilet bowl, purulent snot, for example, apply to this najis?

Bukhari 3208‏ : > *‘Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion). **Then the soul is breathed into him**.’* Now, from what I’ve read, most jurists say that the fetus becomes fully human at 120 days (I think Malikis are the only ones who believe it’s 40). They site the Hadith mentioned above but doesn’t the majority interpretation contradict the Quran and science? The Hadith states that Man is ‘gathered’ or ‘yujma’a’ in the womb of his mother for 40 days, he then becomes an ‘alaqah’ (for a disputed period, the Hadith says ‘mithla thalika’), he then finally becomes a ‘mudhgah’. The issue with the majority opinion which interprets the ‘gathering’ stage as being a separate one amongst the other two with each stage lasting for 40 days is that scientifically, such a period doesn’t exist. For example, one cannot be male and female discharge (which is what the ‘gathering’ refers to in the majority opinion) for 40 days. By such a period, the child is already an embryo. The same thing goes for the ‘alaqah’ stage, you cannot possibly be an ‘alaqah’ at 80 days because the child is already an advanced and developing fetus with bones and a face. And this is all especially true with the ‘mudgha’ stage which actually refers to the stage where the child is an embryo, but misinterpretation makes it into a 120 day baby. It also contradicts the Quran in 23:14 : > *‘ Then We developed the drop into a clinging clot ˹of blood˺, then developed the clot into a lump ˹of flesh˺, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation.1 So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.’* From the Quran, the ‘mudgha’ stage is when the child is but a lump of flesh with only a spine (resembling something that is chewed) and it precedes the stage when the baby develops into a fetus with bones. Obviously, the popular interpretation of the Hadith contradicts the Quran by claiming the child is merely an embryo at 120 days despite the fact the Quran says the embryonic or ‘mudgha’ stage precedes the fetal stage. So, if that interpretation contradicts facts, then why is it still a majority opinion?

I have searched many times but haven't been able to get an answer to my question. I know that Maghrib becomes qada when we can not see the sun rays anymore, but what about other salah times? Till what time can I pray each salah if there is a delay and I am not able to read salah on the time of it's beginning?

As-salamu alaykum. I want to start off by giving some context to my situation. I am a revert that lives in a non Muslim family. For some reason my parents are heavily against me being a Muslim so for the time being I am practicing in secret. My parents have been pressuring me and my brother into buying a house under me and my brother’s name for almost a year now. About 5 months ago I caved in without thinking of the consequences and went along with what they wished and took a riba based mortgage. My parents helped with the down payment contributing 150,000 dollars while I made a contribution of 23,000 dollars. At the time of this taking place my faith was very weak and I was not practicing Islam at all. I wasn’t praying, reading the Quran or doing anything as a Muslim. Alhamdulilah, recently I have found myself faith again and I have realized the grave mistake that I have committed. I would really like to hear some advice as to what I should do because this is really bothering me.
