Scholars state that an apostate is defined as one who has left Islam and adopted a different religion, and that such a person is to executed, even if he does not fight against the Muslims. I have a question about how this law on apostasy is reconciled with the following ahadith: > لا يحل دم امرئ مسلم يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله إلا بإحدى ثلاث رجل زنى بعد إحصان فإنه يرجم ورجل خرج محاربا لله ورسوله فإنه يقتل أو يصلب أو ينفى من الأرض أو يقتل نفسا فيقتل بها > > “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) Said: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle should not lawfully be shed except only for one of three reasons: a man who committed fornication after marriage, in which case he should be stoned; **one who goes forth to fight with Allah and His Apostle**, in which case he should be killed or crucified or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder for which he is killed.” > > [Sunan Abi Dawud 4353. Grade: Sahih Al-Albani](https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4353) > لا يحل دم امرئ مسلم إلا بإحدى ثلاث خصال زان محصن يرجم أو رجل قتل رجلا متعمدا فيقتل أو رجل يخرج من الإسلام يحارب الله عز وجل ورسوله فيقتل أو يصلب أو ينفى من الأرض > > The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in three cases: An adulterer who had been married, who should be stoned to death; a man who killed another man intentionally, who should be killed; and **a man who left Islam and waged war against Allah, the Might and Sublime, and His Messenger**, who should be killed, or crucified, or banished from the land." > > [Sunan an-Nasa'i 4048. Grade: Sahih Darussalam](https://sunnah.com/nasai:4048) Specifically I would like the following points to be addressed: - The first hadith states that there are only 3 reasons for which a Muslim can be killed, it does not mention apostasy rather it only mentions adultery, murder and one who "fights with Allah and His Apostle". The third one might be understood to mean one who fights against the Muslims. So how can it be considered permissible to execute apostates who abstain from fighting, since they are not among the three exceptions? - The second hadith mentions leaving Islam but pairs it with "waging war against Allah and His Messenger" so it might be argued that a person can only be killed if he leaves Islam *and also* fights against Muslims. - The ahadith also mentions that one who fights against Allah and His Apostle can be exiled or banished instead of being executed. But an apostate is not exiled according to Shariah law, rather he must be executed. - It could be that apostasy was understood back then to mean military treason, or that leaving Islam or changing one's religion was considered synonymous with fighting against the Muslims. My question is: **How do those who believe that any apostasy is punishable by death reconcile their belief with the above ahadith?**

Salam! Recently I got layoff from the company. They paid me the amount of provident fund which I opted to be islamic(I demanded no interest on it). Few days after it they by their own will paid me some extra amount which as per them is the amount of interest I denied and was not willing to take. Now the company has been closed and there are no means to return that amount or ask them to take back. Is that amount halal for me or falls under Riba as there was no agreement between me and the company for that amount and there were no pre determined rates. Thank you!

My mom told me that during Dhuhr prayer or any prayer I have to say Doorood Ibraheem after Atayat. Is this a must? And will my Salah be accepted if I don't say this?

I didn't recite durood Shareef because I forgot, does it mean that my dua is not going to get accepted? I was not praying I was making dua only.

I want to say that we are seeing how are the current world leaders killing our Muslim brothers for no reason. And the current Muslim leaders are behaving like they are seeing nothing. Some of them for their own interests and some of them fear current world leaders more than ALLAH. Of course they will be punished for both reasons because they didn't help their brothers in danger. Most probably, more difficult time is coming for Muslims. Now as normal Muslim, I want to know what should I do at the bad times of my brothers?

This dua is to be recited after adhaan > Allahumma rabba hadhihi-d-da’awati-t-tammati wa-s-Salati-l-qa’imati, > ati Muhammadan il-wasilata wa-l-fadilata (wa-d-darajata-r-rafi’ati) > wa-b‘ath-hu maqamam mahmudan illadhi wa‘adtahu Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 614 But almost everyone adds this extra verse when reciting that is not part of the dua. > (innaka la tukhliful mi’ad) I heard that this is an innovation, since it's not part of the dua. Like some say sadaqallahul azim after reciting Quran. So is saying **(innaka la tukhliful mi’ad)** with that dua an innovation?

Assalamu walaikum so after finishing wudu,i felt a urge to urine,but it wasn't that much Extreme,so I started praying,but i had a fear that a tiny drop may come out due to the urge I'm holding back,and after finishing my salah i went to the washroom and saw a tiny drop coming out without the sensation,so I think it's highly likely that urine drop might've come out during prayer without the senses and i didn't feel anything coming out , should i repeat my wudu and prayer or i don't?

As a mobile application developer, I have been tasked with creating a pregnancy app for the medical sector. The design provided to me includes various images depicting the stages of pregnancy and childbirth, including images of both the mother and the baby. I would like to know if it is permissible in Islam to include these types of images in the app. Are there any specific guidelines or considerations I should be aware of regarding this matter? I am interested in understanding any guidelines or considerations regarding the use of images in future applications I may develop. Thank you for your guidance.

There is one trashy Islamophobe who cites the following Hadith:- Anas reported that a person was charged with fornication with the slavegirl of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to 'Ali: **Go and strike his neck.** 'Ali came to him and he found him in a well making his body cool. 'Ali said to him: Come out, and as he took hold of his hand and brought him out, he found that his sexual organ had been cut. Hadrat 'Ali refrained from striking his neck. He came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, he has not even the sexual organ with him. (Sahih Muslim 2771) The enemy of Islam has raised many objections against Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam). Some objections are as under:- 1) Nauzubillah! He is claiming that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) became "jealous" and he ordered the killing of that man. 2) It was a mere accusation that was proven false but still Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) ordered Ali (May Allah Grant Peace To Ali) to kill that man without even investigating the incident. 3) That atheist has objected that according to Islam, four witnessess should be present in order to testify that adultery or fornication has taken place, yet we see that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) ordered the killing of that man without any witness ever testifying that fornication or adultery ever took place. According to that Atheist, why did not Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) asked for four witness if he himself followed the Quran? 4) He is also claiming that this allegation against that man was raised by Prophet Muhammad (Salllallahu'alayhiwassalam) himslef! Dear Brothers in Islam, please answer my question, as I am asking this question to defend the honor of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam). May Allah protect us all from such Fitna. Ameen.

I have come to know that both Sunnah Zaidah and Mustahab are not mandatory in islam and prophet(pbuh) encouraged us to do those. Then what is the (main) differences between those two terms. And if they are same why two terms are used and taught as two separate parts in islamic studies? I searched this online but didn’t even get any answers.

Just answer straight. No need for details or anything. I have done arrogance. I saw a video that says it make Allah abandon me.Will Allah forgive me?

I am not still sure what prophet(pbuh) meant by using backbiting(gibah). According to this hadith => the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do you know what ghibah (backbiting) is?” They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Saying something about your brother that he dislikes.” It was said, “What if what I say about my brother is true?” He said, “If what you say is true then you have backbited about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him.” [Muslim] and many more, it seems to me that if anyone have done a bad work and I tell other about that to be careful from the person, then this would be backbiting as the person will be sad hearing that. But can't we make other people cautious of strange and bad persons. Or,I am wrong understanding The concept of backbiting? Then please make me clear about backbiting in islam. I would like to hear from bothsunni and shia perspective (i.e.from both sunni and shia hadiths) Thanks in advance

Salam. Is this a sahih/Hasan/da'if hadith? Kindly, give authentic reference to it. Abu Hurairah reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "If a woman prays her five (daily) prayers and keeps her private parts chaste and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any of the doors of Paradise she wishes." [Reported by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh]

Said Muhammad [al-Shaybānī]: “Abū Hanīfah informed us, from Sulaymān al-Shaybānī, from Ibn Ziyād, who said that he opened his fast with ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar, and he provided him a drink which seemed to inebriate him. When he awoke in the morn, he enquired, ‘What was this drink? **I was hardly able to find my house!’** **‘Abdullāh replied, ‘We did not give you other than dates and raisins.’ Muhammad said: We adopt this, and it is the position of Abū Hanīfah.”** Kitāb al-Āthār, pp. 699-700 According to al-Tahäwi, **Abü Hanifa and al-Shaybäni claimed that intoxication occurs when an individual cannot differentiate the ground from the sky and a man from a woman,** while Abu Yusuf lowered the bar to a simple slurring of speech. Al-tahawi mukhtasar 1:278 “**From the point of view of Abu Hanifah, intoxication is the state of a person when "intellect has left him so he does not understand a little or much** (anything at all)” - no source i could find Are these statements correct? Was intoxicating described as such. Isn’t it permissible to drink nabidh (from dates) up til the point of intoxication as described And isn’t it permissible to drink non grape/date/raisin drinks till the point described as well? From the perspective of early hanafis.

Does Quran or Hadith mention any other intelligent beings in the universe like humans maybe on some other planet? Except for Jin and Angels which are mentioned in Quran. Prophet (P.B.U.H) was given the title of Rehmat-ul-Alamin. And generally the word Alamin is used for man, jin, angels and everything else. How does that fit with the theory of existence of any other being on any other planet?

I believe I was 12 or 13 years old when I saw a TikTok about a whisper method where, if you whisper someone's name, they will think about you or something like that. I don't quite remember, but it was from a fellow Muslim creator. I didn't have much knowledge back then and didn't know that it could count as sihr and shirk. I don't even remember if I did it or not, but I feel completely lost. I believe in the mercy of Allah and am aware that He will forgive me, but something inside me just needs that clarified.
