Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
I hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding the Islamic rulings on slavery in the context of warfare. Specifically, in classical Islamic jurisprudence, is it permissible to enslave non-combatants, such as women, children, elderly individuals, or others who are not actively participating in battle? Additionally, how do the rulings apply in the case of surprise attacks or raids (ghazw), where captives are taken without prior formal combat? Are there distinctions made based on different categories of captives, such as free individuals versus slaves, or men versus women?

Can a wife refuse intimacy if she is simply not in mood?
Many claim that the hadith of angle cursing wife is only applicable if she is weaponizing intimacy and she can deny it if she doesn't want to do. Is the claim correct? Does angle curse her if she denys simply because she does not want to or is applicable then also?

Assalamolaikum, my name is Ibrahim and I just had a quick question so basically for quite a long time I’ve been wearing this Silver Chain with a Palestine Pendant on it. I have been wearing it for months and then one day my uncle he told me there was a Hadith which stated that it was haram to wear a chain then I did further research and found the Hadith and also found an ayah which stated it too, further more I read it all and it said men were not to imitate women and vice versa and the Hadith stated about NECKLACES and bracelets but not CHAINS would a chain be considered a necklace or no? And i also read that a watch would be Permissible because it had a cause and a use, but so does my chain Becuase it shows that I stand with Palestine. So basically that is all I am curious about is it still haram to wear my Silver Chain with a Palestine Pendant. Jazakullah.

I know vaping is haram already and I shouldn't be doing it anyway but i jut want to know if it invalidates my fast if i do it in the 40 days beforehand. People keep saying that for fasts to be accepted you have to be toxin free for 40 days before Ramadan so does that include vaping? Does vaping count as intoxicating yourself as your not getting high or drunk, your in a state of knowing what you are doing. I also know that your not allowed to vape during fasts but i really just want to know the ruling outside of fasts. Please help me out by letting me know, jzk

Why do the Imams of Masjid Al Haram not grow their beards, even when it's mandatory?
Among all four Madhabs, Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanafi, a beard is mandatory to at least the length of a fist. There are different opinions on growing it after that, but why do the imams of Masjid Haram have beard that they trim, and keep it very small. Even when their beard grows longer they...

Is cutting ties with my sister in this situation haram?

To summarize what my sister did is she dated a non Muslim behind our backs and caused many problems and put our family through a lot of harm especially my mother. All my sisters(4) and my mother cut her off and I was the last one(this happened when I was 10). My dad still talks to her cause she is his favorite and he always is on her side in everything. There’re is still some family like my dad’s siblings who talk to her and have said what she did is normal. The thing is he converted to a Muslim so he can marry her. I personally have thought of talking to her again but every time I think about it or am going to she does something else like come to our house when me and my other sister are at school with our cousin and was being so rude to my mother and disrespecting her. This is only one of the many horrible things she has done. She was always really mean had anger issues. She would always make problems with our parents. I just find it really hard to go back and talk to her. Like what am I going to tell my kids when their grandparents want to celebrate Christmas with their grandkids? We asked her that and she said I don’t know. I don’t think I can raise my kids when her kids are going and getting boyfriends and doing the haram. What if my kids think that’s okay what am I supposed to do? I haven’t talked to her in 4 years and I have done some research on the matter and it says I can’t cut ties but I feel that it is very toxic.

why would Allah answer duas for someone who doesn’t deserve it
why does Allah always answer my duas if i am not really a good muslim and i do bad things? I am grateful for it but also concerned sometimes because could it be a sign of istidraj?

What is the difference between Salat and Salah?
That's it. Not much more detail in the question. If the answer could include usage in a sentence, that would be helpful.

Are both spellings the same and correct in Quran?
Salam aleikum, Regarding elongation marks: Do scholars allow to have different categories of elongation marks in Quran ? In terms of pronounciation, it is pronounced exactly the same.

Salam aleikum,
Regarding elongation marks: Do scholars allow to have different categories of elongation marks in Quran ?
In terms of pronounciation, it is pronounced exactly the same. What I mean by it in an example (Pay attention to ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ):
Surah Al Fatiha, Verse 2:
https://m.wordofallah.com/1 and https://quran.com/1
> ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
https://myislam.org/surah-fatiha-translation/ and my Quran home:
> الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
After the ‘Ayn there is a small Alif in the first one and in the second one there is a big Alif.
Is this allowed by scholars, because I taught the orthography of the bigger letters was always the same (without the harakat and the smaller elongation marks etc.).

Punishment for dhimmi who commits adultery?
Last night I was reading answers on islam. Stack exchange and abu hayyan quotes Hasan al basri. > Al-Hassan al basri said: "If a man discovers that his (christian or Jewish) wife is committing an immoral act, he should divorce her." https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/86434/meaning-of-the-word...

https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/86434/meaning-of-the-word-al-muhsanat-in-verse-55-according-to-the-zahiri-school
It appears from the opinion of al Hasan al basri that punishment for dhimmi adulterers is not rajm.
Hence my question what's the punishment for dhimmis who commit adultery?

Good day, I accepted Islam a year ago. I don't know much yet, but I study the Quran and read dua and suras. I recently read an article that if a person does not perform namaz, their dua will not be accepted. But I do not perform namaz, I know this badly. But I pray in the morning and in the evening, read dua and during the day I address Allah in my own words. Will my dua not be counted? I don't know how to say, I sincerely pray and love Allah, I sincerely thank him and ask for forgiveness. Will my prayers be heard? I am very worried...
But in my country and other Islamic countries that I know, many people do not perform namaz, but sincerely believe in Allah. Forgive me if my question is incorrect, I am at the beginning of my journey
Here is this article
"quote" The calamities that befall a person in worldly life:
There will be no barakah in the life of one who does not perform namaz.
Such a person will be deprived of the love of Allah.
He will not receive a reward for any good deed.
His dua will not be accepted.
No one will love such a person.
The dua of Muslims for him will not bring him any benefit.

I didn't take my phone with me, so i started eating and drinking fast as i could. Note i did have a feeling that it was fajr time but didn't think much of it and i live in Scandinavian country so there's no adthan to tell me that it's fajr n i must stop. Then i asked my brother what's the time? He said it's 04:07 is my fast for Ramadan not valid? I feel terrible and scared cause it's grave sin.
