Is this narration about punishment of zina authentic?

> Al-Zawahir ‘an Iqtiraaf Al-Kaba’ir (2/225) It was also reported: “Whoever commits adultery with a married woman will have half of the punishment of this nation in the grave for her and for him. When the Day of Resurrection comes, God Almighty will judge her husband regarding his good deeds. This is if it was without his knowledge. If he knew and kept quiet, God will forbid him Paradise, because God Almighty wrote on its door: ‘You are forbidden to the cuckold.’” Edit: The Arabic text - التخريج من المصادر العربية الزواجر عن اقتراف الكبائر: (٢/ ٢٢٥) وورد أيضا: «إن من زنى بامرأة متزوجة كان عليه وعليها في القبر نصف عذاب هذه الأمة، فإذا كان يوم القيامة يحكم الله تعالى زوجها في حسناته، هذا إذا كان بغير علمه، فإن علم وسكت حرم الله عليه الجنة؛ لأن الله تعالى كتب على بابها أنت حرام على الديوث Is this true and authentic? If anyone has knowledge please comment or answer.

Are there any Hadith which gives detail about Haman?
The Quran gives limited information about Haman. Is there any Hadith which presents more information about him? I cannot find any direct hadith from the Prophet pbuh but I think there would be some Mawquf hadiths available.

The way I perform ghusl is that I make intention, and then wash my entire body with water, and at the end, I pour water over my body. Pouring water over my body is not necessary, but I do it for good measure. Today when I was performing ghusl, I washed my entire body, which technically meant my ghusl was complete, but before pouring water over my body, I went out of the shower to the shelf on the bathroom, to get something. Then I came back and poured water over my body and finished ghusl. I am now worried that since I left to get something (I was still in the bathroom by the way) then my ghusl won't be valid, I think shaytaan is giving me waswas.

Why do jurists allow the forced marriage of a minor and/or virgin?

It seems very clear that forced marriage is Islamically haram, as per these hadith: > Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A previously-married woman should not be married until she has been consulted, and a virgin should not be married until her permission has been sought.” They said: “O Messenger of Allaah, what is her permission?” He said: “If she remains silent.” > Buraydah ibn al-Hasib said: A girl came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: My father married me to his brother’s son so that he might raise his own status thereby. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) gave her the choice, and she said: I approve of what my father did, but I wanted women to know that their fathers have no right to do that." Yet, there seems to be a lot of scholars who think that a father can marry off his, virgin, minor, daughter without her consent: >Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: With regard to a virgin who is still a minor, there is no difference of opinion concerning her (i.e., that her father may marry her off even if she objects). >Ibn al-Mundhir said: Every scholar from whom we learned was agreed that it is permissible for a man to marry off his virgin daughter who is still a minor, if he marries her to someone who is compatible, and it is permissible for him to marry her off even if she objects and refuses. >Al Baghawi said: There is a consensus of the scholars that it is permissible for the fathers to marry their young daughters even if they are still in the cradle, but it is not permissible for the husbands to consummate the marriage with them, unless they become physically fit for sexual intercourse by mature males. Why is there a consensus among scholars that minors and/or virgins can be married off without her consent when it seems to contradict hadith? I can't seem to find anything in the Quran, hadith, or Sunnah that supports the claim. Am I missing something?

I also know that some schools a allow making up witr, but don't exactly know the limitations. My Question is: What are/is the view(s) of scholars on performing qada' for nafl/sunna prayers, is it recommended, if yes how and are there any limitation (for example can I do qada' when ever I recall it as the case for fard according the sahih hadith: > "He who forgets the prayer, or he slept (and it was omitted), its expiation is (only) that he should observe it when he remembers it." . or can I only make up the prayers I missed actually).

Why did prophet Muhammad fast on ashura in pre-Islamic days?
Some Christians raise the question that the prophet used to keep fast of Ashura in pre-Islamic days till the time the series of revelations to Allah had not yet begun. So why He was adopting the methods of the Pagans

Frustration Over Fixed Taxi Fares vs Dynamic Pricing (Halal or Haram)
Aslamu Aleykum I am a licensed taxi driver working in Barcelona, Spain.

Aslamu Aleykum I am a licensed taxi driver working in Barcelona, Spain. I bought my license for around €135,000, the license and the car are completely mine but still i am strictly required by law to use the taximeter at all times. That means I cannot adjust my prices, even when demand is extremely high and passengers are everywhere. Meanwhile, companies like Uber, Cabify, and Bolt — operating under "VTC" licenses — are legally allowed to raise their prices whenever demand increases. And it’s not just a small increase. Their prices can skyrocket to outrageous levels. For example, a trip that would normally cost €15 can easily cost €45 or even over €80 during peak demand. These companies can multiply the price 4, 5 or even 8 times — and still operate legally. This system is deeply unfair. We, the taxi drivers, are more experienced, better trained, and even have a lower accident rate than VTC drivers, but we’re forced to stick to rigid pricing — no matter what the market conditions are. There are too many other taxi drivers — including Muslims — offer fixed prices during high-demand periods, charging more than the meter. The customer agrees, there’s no trickery, and they make more money. I truly want to do the same. I feel it every time I watch others earning more while I stick to the rules. But because I believe it might be haram, I hold myself back — even though it feels like I'm being punished for trying to do the right thing. I am struggling, and I sincerely need answers to these questions: -Is it haram to agree on a higher fixed fare with a customer during high demand — if the customer agrees clearly and there’s no deception? -In certain cases — like picking up wealthy clients from luxury hotels — would it be haram to add a small extra charge (e.g. €2.50 or €4.50) without telling the client, knowing that the amount is small, likely unnoticed, and causes them no harm — even if it is technically against the law? **Similar to a shopkeeper selling products to tourists with a little increase in price.** This is not just a financial issue. It affects my faith, my peace of mind, and my motivation to keep working. I want to earn my income in a way that is halal and honest, but I also want fairness in a system that feels heavily one-sided. I also believe that many Muslim taxi drivers around the world are going through the same struggle. Your answer would not only help me — it could bring clarity and relief to many others in this industry. I sincerely thank you for your time and guidance.

Hiiii! I’m a 16 y/o girl and a couple of years ago I found out that gossiping/backbite was haram, to be honest I didn’t know about it before and sinned unknowingly but when I did find out I did my best to stop. Now my question is do I still have to tell the people that I have wronged about what I have said if they don’t know and that I did it unknowing that it was a sin? And is it different if i just gossiped about them or if i backbite them bc i have seen some people say that if you gossiped about someone and they don’t know, you shouldn’t tell them and with backbiting some people say you don’t have to tell them if they do not know while others recommend you to tell them. And there is some people that i genuinely don’t remember that I have backbit? What should i do and how should i repent? And I have heard that sins committed out of ignorance are pardoned but I saw somewhere that it wouldn’t take all the consequences from backbiting (I don’t think it applies to other sins but idk I’m not a scholar). And to give more context I have done my best to ask forgiveness for the backbiting I have done to those that I remember but there are 1 person I remember I have backbite/gossiped about though I did it out of anger and ignorance (we have made up without realizing/ apologized ) and frankly I don’t think she want to know speak with me since we both will soon start high school in different schools. If it helps I have sincerely regretted what I have done and have spoken good about her when people said something negative about her or when I talk about her in general, I’m not sure she will add me back since Snapchat is the only way I somewhat can contact her. What should I do

السلام علیکم ورحمة الله وبركاته I know that Shias don't trust most of the sahabah so they won't accept their Hadith narrations but obviously Imam Ali bin Abi Talib RA is an exception to this. In fact, we sunnis have a hadith narrated by members of Ahlul Bait from Ali RA that Mutah has been forbidden by the Prophet SAW. This is present in in [Bukhari](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4216) and [Muslim](https://sunnah.com/muslim:1407a) , among other collections used by sunnis. In fact, even a Shia scholar, Abdul Razzaq alSan'ani RH has narrated this Hadith [here](https://sunnah.com/ahmad:1204) . (Note that Sunnis hold Abdul Razzaq and his Hadiths in very high regard even though he was a Shia). What surprises me, however, is that Shias still consider Mutah to be permissible despite this Hadith. Which begs the obvious question, is this Hadith even present in Shia sources?

Blasphemy of religions other than Islam

Bismillah, It is well-known that the punishment for saying something deliberately and unambiguously, insulting to Islam or Prophet Muhammad SAW, is death as was thoroughly explained by @UmH in her answer to https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/2625/how-should-insults-to-the-prophet-muhammad-pbuh-be-handled However, I also want to know how, and if, blasphemy against other religions should he punished in a Muslim state. I got curious about this due to the following verse: >وَلا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ. And don't revile those, whom they (the disbelievers) invoke other than Allah This verse prohibits insulting all religions other than Islam. And since all sins are to he punished by ta'zeer by Ijma', it seems that it's obligatory upon an Islamic goverment to do ta'zeer against this as well. So now, I want an answer that explains, wether my reasoning is right, and if so, is this punishment to be applied on all people who blaspheme other religions, or only Muslims who do this. Jazak Allah!

So I read that reciting the Quran is the best dhikr and there is reward with reciting every letter of the Quran. If that's the case, can I take any random ayah and recite it again and again as a form of dhikr (the way people recite Subhanallah repeatedly)? I understand that certain ayahs are okay to repeat like dhikr because those are mentioned in the hadith (like Ayat Al-Kursi, last 2 ayahs of Baqarah, etc) and every surah can be repeated like a dhikr as well. But I've never seen any Muslim pick a random ayah that they like and recite it repeatedly like a dhikr, so I'm worried it would be an innovation and count as makruh. Especially if the ayah isn't mentioning Allah in any way. For example, let's take Surah Yusuf, Ayah 74: Qaaluu famaa jazaa 'uhuu in kuntum kaadhibeen (Joseph’s men asked, “What should be the price for theft, if you are lying?”) This is a completely random ayah. Now let's say I really love this ayah for some reason and I recite it again and again like dhikr, since everyone says Quran is the best dhikr. This ayah does not mention Allah anywhere. Rather it's just a small portion of Yusuf (A.S)'s story. Would it be makruh for me to do this? Or would Allah reward me for it, since it's a verse of the Quran? Is it necessary for an ayah to mention Allah or glorify Him in order to be used as a form of dhikr?
