Regarding Salat during sunrise
Assalamu Alaikum. I woke up before sunrise but unfortunately by the time I had done my wudu the sun was already rising. So during sunrise should I pray the Farz first or Sunnah? Can I pray the Sunnah during sunrise or should I pray the Farz and pray the Sunnah after the sunrise?

It is evident from biography of the prophet that more and more people were involved in gossip and tale carrying.
Does islam view the initiator of slander only deserving punishment and not the people who gossip about the same?

I want to get married soon. I have a person whom I want to get married to. But my parents are not allowing as they don’t like the guy. They think he is not the right choice and never even talked to him for once to know about him. They just presumed. But I think he is a good human and the delay in marriage is causing excessive stress for me.
**How do I pray to Allah (SWT) so that I can marry the person I want to? Is there any dua for it?**
Thank you

I believe in Allah and His Messenger, but follow the teachings of Jesus; am I considered a non-believer?
I was raised a Christian. But I have read the Koran and believe in Allah and His Messenger. Since I also follow the teachings of Jesus, am I still considered a non-believer?

Can laylatul qadr also possibly be on the even nights of the last 10 nights?

I am confused because Sheikh Asim is a renouned Saudi sheikh. But also, this is not the mainstream opinion.
Can someone clarify it for me? Please do quote your sources i.e. Quranic verse or the number/reference of the authentic hadith.

Is the night of power (laylat al-qadr) fixed?
Is the night of power (laylat al-qadr) fixed, year to year, or does it change? I've been reading some hadith and the only conclusion I can come to is that whenever it is revealed, to be on such-and-such a date (last ten odd nights, 27th, or the 23rd/25th/27th) it's **that date for that year** and th...
Is the night of power (laylat al-qadr) fixed, year to year, or does it change? I've been reading some hadith and the only conclusion I can come to is that whenever it is revealed, to be on such-and-such a date (last ten odd nights, 27th, or the 23rd/25th/27th) it's **that date for that year** and then it changes.
Is that correct?
Also, related: What is the cause of the night of power? Is it the angels taking records back to heaven, or is it the mark of when the Quran was first revealed, or did the two just coincide once?

My spouse's cousin who visits from other city, last time they visited my house, My spouse other family member played board games and cards which I did not like but my spouse assured me that she wouldn't play next time. As a head of house I am not comfortable my spouse playing board games, laughing loudly with a na mahram, initially when they use to visit my spouse never like him as well.
Now that they visit us again, my spouse has been up all night or past midnight every night playing board games. I have been very stressed giving me sleepless night and annoyed because my spouse did the opposite of what I do not like
What does Islam says about spouse engaging in activities that her husband has refrained from especially in this case where other is na marham and threaten to leave her when confronted by such talk?
I know Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said to leave something that take away peace of heart, but I have kids with my spouse and I am afarid of breaking the family which will hurt our kids

Wife arranged black magic on husband
What is the ruling on a wife who arranged black magic on husband to win him back? The husband and wife reside in darul Kufr. It will be very beneficial if a comprehensive answer is given on status of marriage, whether it's annuled? Or the husband needs to divorce her.

Is Ghusl valid if I rinsed my nose more than three times?
I was performing ghusl; rinsing my nose but when I was about to wash my face I was in doubt if I really rinsed my nose three times so I did it one time more to be sure. I hope you understood my issue and therefor would the ghusl be valid if I REALLY rinsed my nose 4th times unintentionally?

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
I have a question regarding the Islamic legal perspective on concubinage:
If a man has a female slave and he marries her off to another slave, and she gives birth to a daughter, now we know she is the daughter of the slave but her ownership will belong to the master. So, can the young girl be taken as a concubine by the master?
Jazakum Allahu Khayran.

Ibn qudamah opines the prophetic expressions of takfir aren't literal.
Imām Ibn Qudhāmah رحمة الله عليه says,
> The preceding hadiths (about the abandonment of salah being “kufr”) are expressions of severity and of the perpetrator’s similarity to kuffar, ***not literal expressions***. They resemble the following statements of the Prophet and other statements like them that are meant to serve as intense warnings:
> “Reviling a Muslim is fusuq and killing him is kufr.”
> “It is disbelief (kufr) in Allāh to deny one’s lineage, even subtly.”
> ***“If someone tells his brother, ‘O kafir!’, then it will return to one of them.”***
> “Whoever says ‘We have had rain due to the movement of the stars’ is a disbeliever (kafir) in Allah and a believer in the stars.”
> “Whoever swears an oath by other than Allah has committed shirk.”
> “The wine-drinker is like an idol-worshiper.”

If al hakim grades a hadith sahih can it be trusted without verification from al dahabi abridgement of the al Mustadrak?

Who were the first people to rebel against God and turn towards idolatry in the postdiluvian era?
