Bad wishes in Jannah

It is said that in jannah one shall get whatever he want and in Jannah all wishes will be fulfilled as mentioned in the Quran , however in this world we have some desires that are not appropriate and are harmful , I have read people saying that in Jannah we will not make these wishes as our minds will be purified , but my Question is that , do these harmful things have to be the same in Jannah ?, I don't think so ... I mean they can turn harmless and good in Jannah thus not being considered bad anymore (but the experience can be same or better), since Allah can do anything he can turn the possible harmful things into appropriate and harmless , one mentioned is the wine that is turned good and appropriate in Jannah for believers to experience it,... can this transformation from bad to good not happen to all other possible bad things , (only things that are possible to be turn good). so that one can experience these in heaven . I think it does not make complete sense that "our minds will be purified so we won't make all these Bad desires " I think this can only be said to some specific evil things that have no chance to be turned good and pure in Jannah
.
for example if one loves boxing in this world and it is harmful in this world , but in jannah can he not make the wish for boxing , and experience it in a permissible harmless form , may be something like a video game(just an example) or any other way ,
(since Allah can do anything) ,

Assalamu alaikum,
My wife and I have been trying for children for several years with no success.
We have undertaken many tests that could not determine a biological issue with our health.
We have gone through two IVF cycles unsuccessfully.
Our consultant has asked that I should not refrain from ejaculation for more than 36-48 hours until the next IVF cycle is complete.
However my wife will be traveling with her family for a few days during this time.
I don't know how best to address this.
I know the majority of opinion is that masturbation is haram, unless for medical purposes. But considering I am married and have a halal alternative (albeit not while she is travelling) I don't know where I stand with rulings.
Please can you refer me to some knowledge so that I act, by Allah's will, in accordance with shariah.

Husband's financial support to Wife in Islam
I have been married for 7 years, and I work on my own, while my wife takes care of our child. Every time I get my salary, I always give 100% of it to my wife.

I have been married for 7 years, and I work on my own, while my wife takes care of our child.
Every time I get my salary, I always give 100% of it to my wife. When I get a freelance project, I also always give the earnings to my wife. However, I have debts that may exceed my salary, and my wife tells me that I am stingy and irresponsible as a husband.
When I really have nothing, I ask my mother for money and give it to her. Almost every day, I ask my mother for household expenses. If my mother can't provide, I am seen as unable to make an effort. Am I really not providing financially in a case like this?

I have seen a few videos on YouTube which say this is allowed in voluntary prayers such tahhajud etc.. I want to know if anyone else has done this and when going into sujood how does one hold the mushaf or phone if reading from app? Do we still have to have right hand over left if holding mushaf/phone if reciting like this?
Can this be done in sunnah prayers too?
I want to do this to make my salah longer as I don't know know a lot of surahs from memory.

Forgetting during the prayer

Asalam alaykum everyone
I am suffering from brain fog, and so I am very forgetful and it is very hard for me to concentrate. So when I pray salat, I am always forgetting. For example, whether I recited surah fatiah completely, how many rakahs I prayed. This is why I am constantly repeating each salat twice or more and that is very difficult for me.
Is there anything I could do to help fix my situation? I think it is probably waswasah, but I do not feel strong enough to fight the waswasahs.

> It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik, from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: “[People] will continue to be thrown into Hell, and it will say, ‘Are there any more to come?’ until the Lord of Glory places His foot in it, then its parts will be integrated with one another and it will say: Enough, enough, by Your glory and Your honour. And there will be extra space in Paradise until Allah creates another creation to live in the extra space of Paradise.”

I'm aware that a man is obligated to provide for his wife and children, but if the man is in the hospital or incapacitated, will the wife be obligated to provide for her kids in the least? I understand community support or zakat funds are supposed to be exhausted first before going to the wife, but isn't the wife 'obligated' to take care of her children even if financially in absence of other means if she's able to e.g has savings, wealth, etc?
I'm specifically Keen to understand about the obligation part, not good-will or optional act.

I would like to know if I can use the term messiah in regards to a savior or a heroic person. An example is me writing a book about this savior who comes and saves this nation and their football club and wins them the world cup or someone who saves his people from villains. I know the term messiah means anointed one referring to isa PBUH. But they English dictionary has multiple terms for the meaning of messiah and in Islam it's about your intentions. I don't mean to compare isa and some fictional character. In English messiah can mean someone who's a hero or does something great for his people

Applying antiseptic before prayer
Antiseptic cream can form a layer over the skin, which makes wudhu null. But would it invalidate prayer if applied after wudhu and before prayer?

Today I was reading a few Hadith in Arabic I have read before many times before online and I noticed I did not remember some words in the Hadith. (I unfortunately do not have any physical Hadith books for reference.)
This is a bit concerning, but I want to know for sure if there is a mistake on the websites, or if it's something with me. Brothers and sisters outside of the US and/or with access to a physical Hadith book, can you verify if the Arabic text in these hadith are not mistaken?
Also what can I do to verify the text when I have such suspicions?
Sahih Muslim 157c
Text: لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَكْثُرَ الْمَالُ وَيَفِيضَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الرَّجُلُ بِزَكَاةِ مَالِهِ فَلاَ يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَقْبَلُهَا مِنْهُ وَحَتَّى تَعُودَ أَرْضُ الْعَرَبِ مُرُوجًا وَأَنْهَارًا
Latter half of Sunan Ibn Majah 63

I’m aware that since i’m muslim i can’t own a dog . However have situation and can’t find right answer . My very good friend (non muslim) owns small dog (2 month old ) which usually sit in barrier at home for now . She is traveling now and arranged with another friend to take care of the dog but that lady unfortunately didn’t care much and dog ended up almost dying in vet clinic so they needed to do surgery for him (dog ate some plastic while was with another lady ) . My very good friend is panicking as that lady couldn’t take care properly . She doesn’t have much money to pay for one week hotel and prefer for him to recover at home (she paid very expensive surgery just now for the dog ) .So she asked if i can help and until she come back from that travel take care of her dog as she trusts only me now . Is it fine if dog will be allocated in one corner in his barrier for this period ?

Do I have to repeat my Salah?
I was praying and after i did tasleem at the end (I didn’t realize it before tasleem) I realized that I might have prayed 3 rakat instead of four. Do I have to make the sajda of forgiveness or pray again?
