Nikkah without guardian
Iam a 20 year old woman! I keep telling my mom, Get me married wherever I like, I don't want to commit sin (zina),But my mom says your dad will never agree until the boy earns something or can run a household.

Iam a 20 year old woman!
I keep telling my mom, Get me married wherever I like, I don't want to commit sin (zina),But my mom says your dad will never agree until the boy earns something or can run a household. Despite that, I've told my mom repeatedly, but she says your dad will shout at me, and get angry, I know him. Don't even think about marriage for 2-3 years.and I'm in need So as he (the Man I love)!
So, can I get married myself with 2 witnesses who are Muslim and mature? Will my nikah be valid? Because my mom is 100% sure that neither my dad nor society will agree."and there is the danger of nfs
So Islam is that strict that someone is in need and their parents are not allowing her to marry!
And I know all the Hadith about validness and invalidness
But my topic is if guardian are not agreeing what should the girl do?

I married my wife without my parent/guardian's permission; is it valid?
My mother refuses marriage with a girl (my cousin's sister in law). She says the girl's status is not same as me, and she lives in a village, that means my family is only concern to the social status.

My mother refuses marriage with a girl (my cousin's sister in law). She says the girl's status is not same as me, and she lives in a village, that means my family is only concern to the social status.
However, we got married in front of quazi and in that occasion two of my wife's cousins were present, and there were witnesses also, but we still didn't announce our marriage to our family members because they will got hurt.
We thought our family issue will be managed, and we will get married again by their permission, but the scenario is different and not as we thought; my guardian is too strict and they are not allowing me to do so.
- If I want to listen to my family then I'll have to divorce (secretly) that girl.
- If I don't then I'll have to announce the marriage to society.
*Question*: Is our marriage valid?
The marriage is already done by papers, although the marriage is not valid by Allah. So the papers/kabin is just like an agreement now, not kabin (my understanding).
This question is a continuation from https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/30869/17163

The problem with purulent snot
I have this situation-yellow snot every day, it's clear that it's purulent. Since pus is najis, it means purulent snot, which is essentially snot mixed with pus, is also najis. So, do I have to wash my nose before every ablution and prayer?

There is a hadith (I read it in a book on religion) that in a house where paintings are hung and dogs are kept, angels do not enter this house.Why don't they enter a house where dogs, angels are immortal (until the end of the world), it's strange for spirits to be afraid of dogs. I know that dogs can often be ill-mannered, dirty, and lustful, but angels are disembodied spirits, Dogs can't hurt them.

In his Tafsir, Al Qurtubi states that Zina is worse in women than it is in men. Is this a majority view?
In his fifth point of the Tafsir of Surah Nur (24) verse 2, Al Qurtubi explicitly states that fornication in women is worse الخامسة : قدمت الزانية في هذه الآية من حيث كان في ذلك الزمان زنا النساء فاش ، وكان لإماء العرب وبغايا الوقت رايات ، وكن مجاهرات بذلك . وقيل : لأن الزنا في النساء أعر وهو لأجل ا...
In his fifth point of the Tafsir of Surah Nur (24) verse 2, Al Qurtubi explicitly states that fornication in women is worse
الخامسة : قدمت الزانية في هذه الآية من حيث كان في ذلك الزمان زنا النساء فاش ، وكان لإماء العرب وبغايا الوقت رايات ، وكن مجاهرات بذلك . وقيل : لأن الزنا في النساء أعر وهو لأجل الحبل أضر . وقيل : لأن الشهوة في المرأة أكثر وعليها أغلب ، فصدرها تغليظا لتردع شهوتها ، وإن كان قد ركب فيها حياء لكنها إذا زنت ذهب الحياء كله . وأيضا فإن العار بالنساء ألحق إذ موضوعهن الحجب والصيانة ، فقدم ذكرهن تغليظا واهتماما
Is this a majority view of the 4 madhahib of Ahlus Sunnah ? Is it the majority view in the Shafi school? Or is this a minority view? I always believed that Zina was equally bad for both men and women.

At what age does a person become an adult in Islam?
From [Hidaya Foundation][1]: > The person should be Muslim, **adult**, sane, free (not a slave). > They must posses a certain minimum amount of extra wealth (called nisab), fully owned by them in excess of personal use (such as clothing, food, shelter, household furniture, utensils, cars, etc). > Th...
From Hidaya Foundation :
> The person should be Muslim, **adult**, sane, free (not a slave).
> They must posses a certain minimum amount of extra wealth (called nisab), fully owned by them in excess of personal use (such as clothing, food, shelter, household furniture, utensils, cars, etc).
> They should have had this minimum amount in possession for a complete lunar year (hawl).
The wealth should be of a productive nature, from which they can derive profit or benefit such as merchandise for business, gold, silver, livestock, etc.
> The minimum amount (or Nisab) should not be owed to someone, i.e., it should be free from debt.
The above states that a Muslim has **to be an adult** to give zakat.
**Question:** At what age does a person become an adult in Islam?
What **specific age in Sharia law** does a person **become an adult** so they are **obligated to give zakat**?
*(Please include evidence from Qu'ran or Ahadith)*

In the days of work from home, it is impossible to find work on-site so how can we make sure the context of “Men should leave houses in morning”?
Little background is I am software developer and lost my job, last time left job I was in home and in home my wife was always on phone, when I tell her to stop and give time to home, kids she get angry and say that men should not be home. This is a problem because if I don’t have work I cannot pay co-working space to work but still her relatives think I should.
What is the context of “men should leave house after dawn” and how can this be applied to modern day?

I have a bad skin condition which requires me to put cream on my face 24 hours a day. If I don't use a face cream on my face, then it becomes red and dry and itchy. I finally found this cream that works on my face but is it halal?
I researched online and some people say it's ok and some people say it's not:

I used to be shia, do i have to redo my past prayers?
I used to be shia, not one of the extreme ones. Do i have to redo my past prayers or are they valid? Also I read somewhere that being shia means that i was not a muslim and In that case I don't have to do my missed prayers now. Is this true?

How will we see the Arsh on qiyamah (& how will Moses hold 1 of its pillars) when its so big? Might Allah shrink it to scale with earth or something?
The Kursi extends over the universe (Quran 2:225) and hadith says it is like a ring in a desert compared to the Arsh, so how then will we see the latter on Qiyamah and how can Musa (as) hold onto one of its pillars (Bukhari)?

Why wasn't ʿUbaydallāh bin Jaḥsh killed for apostasy?
I'm currently researching Shari\`a laws, and this query is related. [ʿUbaydallāh bin Jaḥsh][1] parted from Islam and adopted Christianity and died a natural death. Yet, under Shari\`a law, leaving Islam constitutes a capital offense. As an example _Reliance of the Traveller_ states: []
]
But then why wasn't ʿUbaydallāh bin Jaḥsh punished? Or why isn't Shari\`a law different because of the precedent set by this incident?
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

It's well documented in the Hadiths that Mohammad (PBUH) became engaged to Aisha when she was six, and consumated the marriage when she was nine.
Before the Iranian revolution, female marriage was legal at eighteen years of age and above, and this was lowered afterwards to nine years of age to reflect Islamic law as interpreted by Iranian Imams. However, this was then raised to thirteen years of age in 2002 by the Expediency Council. But now recently, Mohammad Ali Asfenani has said Iran has a religious obligation to legally recognise the weddings of girls as young as nine:
>"As some people may not comply with our current Islamic legal system, we must regard nine as being the appropriate age for a girl to have reached puberty and qualified to get married," Mr Asfenani, chairman of the parliamentary legal and judiciary committee, told Khabar Online. "To do otherwise would be to contradict and challenge Islamic Sharia law."
Is it unIslamic to raise female marriageable age above nine years of age?

Are these ahadith regarding reciting "Allah is sufficient for me..." seven times authentic?

Assalamu alaikum. Recently I have seen the following excerpt which I'm copying here...
> Hasbiyallaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adheem.
>
> Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, He is Lord of the Majestic Throne. (Recite seven times in Arabic.)
and
> Allah will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning or evening whatever he desires from this world or the next, Ibn As-Sunni (no. 71), Abu Dawud 4/321. Both reports are attributed directly to the Prophet (Marfu1). The chain of transmission is sound (Sahih). Ibn As-Sunni."
My question is I have previously read about this Hadith where it states that it is fabricated. But now as I see the above mentioned excerpt in two different sites I am confused. Can anyone tell me which one is right?
I mean is it really fabricated or is there any level of authenticity in it?
Also please mention some authentic Dua for getting out of distresses and fulfillment of wishes.
