Forgot the number of prostration I've did so I did an extra one & then a prostration of forgetfulness?
I've heard that when you're unsure abt the no of prostration you should think of the smaller no so it's correct if not so what should I do if I forget the no of prostrations?

Meaning of the word Al Muhsanat in verse 5:5 according to the Zahiri School
I wonder how Zahiri's interpret the word "Al Muhsanat المحصنات" in the context of surah Al-Ma'idah:5. I found [this][1] on *Al-Muhalla* but I couldn't understand it completely. Both the pages 12 and 13 relavant, I guess, in the link that I shared. [1]: https://shamela.ws/book/767/3762#p1

The problem with the Shafi'i position on swallowing phlegm and mucus when fasting
I have trouble following the Shafi'i madhab concerning what invalidates fasting.

I have trouble following the Shafi'i madhab concerning what invalidates fasting. According to the madhab one must try to expel mucus and phlegm everytime one feels them in the throat; but only when it's possible. Which means you have to constantly try to get mucus and phlegm out because, like saliva, the build up of phlegm and mucus is a constant mechanism. One won't know whether it's possible or not possible without trying. If one doesn't try then it would risk invalidating the fast. Only when it's not possible will one is excused. I find this undue hardship and it makes fasting an impossibility. I need help because I've been in a state of despair for so long especially considering how many years of Ramadhan were potentially invalidated.

Why is jealousy among women unpardonable and a sign of faith in men?
While hunting for reference to the narration mentioned [here][1] I stumbled upon this quote by Imam Ali(s.a.) in [Nahj al-Balagha][2]: > [Jealousy in woman is unpardonable but in man it is a sign of his faith > in religion (because Islam has permitted polygamy and prohibited > polyandry).][3] I fail...
While hunting for reference to the narration mentioned here I stumbled upon this quote by Imam Ali(s.a.) in Nahj al-Balagha :
> Jealousy in woman is unpardonable but in man it is a sign of his faith
> in religion (because Islam has permitted polygamy and prohibited
> polyandry).
I fail to comprehend the following thing in regards to *jealousy*:
1. why is it unpardonable for women?
2. conversely, why is it a sign of faith in religion for men?
3. what has 1. and 2. got to do with the permission and prohibition of polygamy and polyandry respectively in Islam?

Does "nur" in Qur'an 71:16 mean "reflected light" or just "light"?
Regarding the verse [71:16][1]: > وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا > > And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a > burning lamp I saw an Arab atheist claiming that the meaning of the Arabic word nur is not "reflected light"; its meaning is just "l...
Regarding the verse 71:16 :
> وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
>
> And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a
> burning lamp
I saw an Arab atheist claiming that the meaning of the Arabic word nur is not "reflected light"; its meaning is just "light".
If its meaning is " reflected light" there is no problem, but if its meaning renders " light" there is a problem because then the above verse will be considered a scientific error.
Could you please provide the proper meaning of nur according to authentic references?

It has narrated that Satan came to the door step of Pharaoh and knocked the door. Pharaoh told: who is knocking the door? Satan answered if you were God you would know who is knocking the door!
Pharaoh told: come in Damned! Satan answered: a damned one joined the other damn! Pharaoh asked him why you have not prostrated Adam to avoid to being outcast and damned. Satan answered: Because someone like you was on descendant of Adam!
Pharaoh asked: do you know anyone worse than you and I on the ground? Satan told: the jealous person is worse than you and I. Jealousy eats the good works as fire burns the wood.

how are men and women equal in reward and punishment

Scholars have often stated that men and women are equal in terms of reward and punishment and that true superiority is in piety and good deeds. However, scholars also appear to imply that men have been created naturally more committed religiously, and that women have been created as being 'religiously deficient' by nature which sounds contradictory to spiritual equality.
Here is a hadith regarding women's deficiency in religious commitment:
> The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
> said: “I have not seen any lacking in reason and religious commitment
> but (at the same time) more able to rob the wisdom of the wise, except
> one of you [women].” They said: How are we lacking in religious
> commitment and reason, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “Is not the
> testimony of a woman like half the testimony of a man?” They said:
> Yes. He said: “That is how she is lacking in reason. And when she
> menstruates, does she not refrain from praying and fasting?” They
> said: Yes. He said: “That is how she is lacking in religious
> commitment.”
How can women and men be equal in reward and punishment, when this 'natural lack of religious commitment compared to men' means that women get the short end of the stick by way of their creation, and that it is easier for men be more 'pious'?

I was aware of what I was doing but I didn't stop because I needed the money and I knew everything before I started the job. What should I do now? Will Allah forgive me? How do I repent for taking the rights of others since I sold haram items?

If there are two weak hadiths that are totally different except they carry the same prohibition, does that mean the prohibition must be acted upon?
So the two hadiths may be totally different yet they are both forbidding something in particular, would that render the prohibition "hasan li ghayrihi" even though the hadiths would still be weak? Jazakhallah

Do we have to act on hadiths graded hasan li ghayrihi?
For example if a certain prohibition was found in only one hadith and it is graded hasan li ghayrihi, would that one hadith be sufficient to validate the prohibition? Jazakhallah

Is my fast valid if I do ghusl after eating sohor?
Sometimes when I wake up for fasting, I notice I had ejaculated (not the result of masturbation, but a wet dream). Despite that fact, I eat and drink completely, then I do ghusl in order to pray al-fajr. Given I ate while not pure, will this fast be accepted?

They have a certain reason of not going to the nearby mosque as the mosque doesn't do Salat-o-Salam and people tend to only offer fard so they think it is wahabi masjid

I'm having a lot of doubts about wudu. Sometimes during Salah I "feel" like I passed wind or had vaginal discharge (it's chronic and happens a lot randomly) but I'm unsure. After the prayer I feel like my entire prayer is invalid. Even end up redoing wudu and prayer sometimes, but it's not always possible. Does discharge break wudu if it happens a lot due to health problems?
