We know that drawing pictures of animate creatures is prohibited in Islam. The following hadeeth are very explicit.
> Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) visited me after returning from a journey, and I had a shelf with a thin cloth curtain hanging over it and on which there were portraits. When he saw it, the colour of his face changed (because of anger) and he said, "O Aishah! The most grievous torment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be for those who imitate (Allah) in the act of His creation.' Aishah said: We tore it into pieces and made a cushion or two cushions out of that. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
>
> Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Those who draw pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection; and it will be said to them: 'Breathe soul into what you have created.' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
>
> Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) saying, "Every painter will go to Hell, and for every portrait he has made, there will be appointed one who will chastise him in the Hell.'" Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: If you have to do it, draw pictures of trees and other inanimate things. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
However, is one allowed to draw images of humans and animals without drawing their eyes?

Making dua during Quran ayat of sajdah or sujūd
Is it permissible to make dua during a sunnah sajdah (i.e. one of the 15) in the Qu'ran? I remember reading somewhere that it is not permissible to do so - rather we should say subhana rabbi al A'la (x3) and raise after that. What is the most authentic opinion on this?

How much food is sufficient for kaffarah?
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته The Quran says that it's the equivalent of what you'd feed your family. That has been determined to be a "saa" of rice, which in turn is 1.5 Kg of rice.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
The Quran says that it's the equivalent of what you'd feed your family. That has been determined to be a "saa" of rice, which in turn is 1.5 Kg of rice. Is that cooked or uncooked rice? Either way, that's definitely way more food than one would usually eat in one sitting.
I'd assume half a cup is what the average person would eat as a meal. That means 100 grams of uncooked rice. Even if it's one cup it would still be 7.5 times less than 1.5 Kg.
So the 1.5 Kg, is that for one person, or the 10? If it's for one person, then what about the Quran where it says...
>on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own families.
No one eats 1.5 Kg of rice as one meal.
And finally...does a plate of spaghetti with sauce suffice?
*please provide the source for your answers*
Jazak Allah khair.

Can I put my money in the same bank and earn interest on it which is around 100 dollars and then pay it back to same bank in the loan installment which has 600 dollars interest in it?

Quran 67:3

Quran 50:6
> Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?

It turns out that I have been incorrectly calculating my zakah for the last few years and I have paid less than I should have. However during those years I did also pay lillah and sadaqah.
Can I use the the sadaqah and lillah I paid during those years to count towards the zakah I owe for the previous years? I would appreciate an answer that conforms to the Hanafi madhhab.

Do minor Sins become major if we do
all time same Sins?
I heard as well there is difference of oppinion in this matter too I mean if there are no minor sins,like all Sins are major Sins and no minor and repeating minor sins turns into a major sin, minor sins lead to major sins, and not considering minor sins a big deal is a major sin, then it sure sounds like every single Muslim will be going to Hell besides these great holy men.

Salam Alaykum.
On this website, there was a similar question, but I have more to add.
There are mythological games/fantasy games with elements of polytheism, specifically with playable 'gods/archons'. I don't exactly understand if it is haraam or makrooh? If it falls into doubtful stuff and has no clear ruling, could avoid any doubts make it not haram? if it's not considered shirk/kufr to play, then why would it be haram (if it is), given that players know it is all fiction and it doesn't affect their real-life beliefs?
If playing it is haram, is avoiding the plot, playable 'gods', and statues alright to make it playable?
If anyone answers, please state your sources.

Water splashing from anus during istinjaa
During the process of cleaning myself while defecating, I use the water cleaner (shatafa) which gushes water into the anus to clean it. If water splashes from that area, is it pure or not?
