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.” https://al-maktaba.org/book/8463/779#p1 How did he arrive at this? Did he take the incident between Umar and abu hurayrah as a basis? https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/366526/incident-between-%E2%80%98umar-and-abu-hurayrah-about-public-money

I would like to know if its haram in islam for a women to be a president or a vice president of a country. Please let me know why if its haram. Thank you

Is al Hakims hadith collection Al Mustadrak reliable? I have read on Wikipedia that al dhahabi said it was better if he never complied it and ibn hajar was also dubious about it. al Hakim said about his book, that the sahih hadiths narrations are on par with bukhari and muslim? If al hakim grades a hadith sahih can it be trusted without verification from al dahabi abridgement of the al Mustadrak?

Before the flood I remember learning of five prophets who, after their death, were turned into idols and worshipped in place of God. Being that the prophet Noah (Nuh) (peace be upon him) was the only survivor of the flood (assuming a global and not a local flood), and that he was a faithful Nabi (prophet) who spread God's word. Who were the first people to rebel against God and turn towards idolatry in the postdiluvian era?

What are the valid reasons for which wife can refuse to be intimate with her husband? Is "not in the mood" or not wanting to do a valid reason?

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?

In the time of Asor, I did some sinfull dids, and that time i knew it could brake my fasting. After doing that and breaks my fasting by that. Should I, still should not eat or drink...?

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

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 shape their beard, why?

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?

That's it. Not much more detail in the question. If the answer could include usage in a sentence, that would be helpful.

I wanted to ask if God will forgive me for masturbating in Ramadan, I am a teen and I am unfortunately addicted to masturbation, so I promised myself that This Ramadan I won't masturbate which was the case for the majority of this holy month but I started feeling really uncomfortable when I'm having a boner to the point where i cannot focus on anything and i have unfortunately masturbated 3 times this month and was asking if God would forgive me if i started praying more, I Feel like i cannot stop completely and i don't know what to do, I Felt huge guilt the first time, then did it a second time a couple days later and felt a lot of guilt and today i also did it and I am feeling guilt and feeling like i have to ask if i could be forgiven or if I have to do something specific during this month to repent.

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.).

My friend sells knives in the uk where it is illegal . He says it is halal money but there is sin in it as it goes against the law of the land , he says Islamically we are encouraged to carry weapons for self defence . He knows going against the law of the land is a sin . Is his money halal or haram or makruh though ?

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-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.

My mother is planning to perform Umrah but she could not travel with her Mahram. My mother will travel to Makkah from Pakistan and her brother from UK and then they will perform Umrah together. Does Islam allow to perform Umrah in this case for a women with age to 50 years?

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?**

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?
