In Islamic practice, niyyah (intention) is a fundamental part of many acts of worship, such as prayer, fasting, Hajj, and zakat. However, there seems to be some variation in how intention is understood: Some scholars emphasize conscious and explicit intention before every act, while others say that the mere decision to perform the act at the proper time is sufficient, since Allah knows what is in the heart. Is it necessary to consciously formulate the niyyah before each act of worship, or is an internal, implicit awareness enough? For example: If a person wakes up for Fajr, performs wudu, and begins praying without explicitly stating the niyyah is the prayer valid? In fasting during Ramadan, is waking up for suhoor and abstaining from food enough to count as a valid fast, even if one forgets to explicitly think, “I am now fasting”?

Is it permissible to keep a dog for personal safety during outdoor activities in Canada?

Assalamu alaykum, I live in Canada and enjoy outdoor activities like biking, hiking, and camping. In my area, it is quite common to encounter wild animals such as coyotes, bobcats, and even bears. Recently, I encountered a coyote while biking. Last year, I came across a bear cub while camping. While nothing serious happened in either case, I know that such encounters can sometimes turn dangerous in my area. Given this reality, I’m wondering if it would be permissible in Islam to keep a dog primarily for safety during these outdoor activities. I live in an apartment, so the dog would also be staying with me indoors, though I would try to keep it in a separate area as much as possible. I understand that in Islam there are specific rulings about keeping dogs, but I would appreciate clarification in the context of living in a non-Muslim country where such safety precautions are considered normal.

The company is a 'financial experience company'. Essentially what they do is provide digital banking solutions to financial institutions, including banks and other fintechs. Here's a breakdown of what they offer: Digital Banking Platforms: They provide software that allows financial institutions to offer online and mobile banking services, including account management, bill pay, and transfers. Lending Solutions: They help banks and credit unions streamline their lending processes, from loan applications to origination and servicing. Payments and Transfers: They offer solutions for handling various payment types, such as checks, ACH transfers, and P2P payments. Data Analytics: They provide tools to help financial institutions analyze customer data and gain insights into their behavior, preferences, and needs. Fraud Prevention: They offer solutions to help protect financial institutions and their customers from fraud. They simply sell the platforms and software that allow the institutions to do all this stuff in a good looking UI. Would working at this company in IT be permissible? To be clear this company does not provide any financial services itself. The only part of it that might deal directly with riba is the lending solutions part. Which is what I'm worried about.

Help me understand the hadiths regarding The Romans and the Prophecy made by Prophet Muhammad Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him
Asslam Alaikum. I am having doubts. So basically I saw a post on the internet. The internet said that the Prophet PBUH made a false prophecy with this Hadith: [Sahih Muslim 2900][1] > Nafi' b.

Asslam Alaikum. I am having doubts. So basically I saw a post on the internet. The internet said that the Prophet PBUH made a false prophecy with this Hadith: Sahih Muslim 2900 > Nafi' b. Utba reported: >We were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and stood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Allah's Messenger) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered. So here now it says that the companions thought that Dajjal would come after the conquest of Roman Syria? But that didn't happen. Now I know it could be said this refers to the ends times but that post already knew people would say this and so he states the hadith which says that there will be No caeser after Heraclius in the Syrian territory and there will be no Khosrou in the Iraqi Territory. Then he presents another Hadith that the Last hour will not come until the Romans become the majority of people and he presents commentary of this Hadith saying that the Romans must be continuous. And he says this refers to the Byzantines during the time of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and as we know they don't exist anymore. He says and I quote: "Why this matters is because the Hadiths regarding the fall of Constantinople then cannot be understood to mean an event where the Roman Empire comes back. It also addresses the explanation I mentioned with the first Hadith, that the Dajjal is to come back at a later date that the Hadith doesn’t say he has to come back right after. If additional conditions for the Dajjal to return is the continuation of the Romans then that is problematic alongside these Hadith regarding Constantinople." Then he says that assuming that the hadith which states there will be no Caesar after this one refers to the Syrian territories and that the above Hadith refers to the dajjal coming in the future, not after the conquest of Syria, this directly contradicts another Hadith in Sahih muslim which states dajjal will come after roman Syria is conquered (Hadith is Sahih Muslim 2899a) and plus also the other Hadith that Romans will never rule Syria again. He says "For brevity there are Hadith regarding Constantinople that put the previous Hadith into perspective and create issues listed here: -https://sunnah.com/muslim:2920a -https://sunnah.com/muslim:2897 -https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4294 " He says that historical conquest of Constantinople refutes this prophecy? Any refutations?

With All due respect, the ruling in the Maliki madhab with regards to hadd on an unmarried pregnant woman (her pregnancy being proof)seems very unjust if she was truly raped. How could such an individual provide ample evidence for being raped? It would be difficult, especially in the past. The other 3 madhahib have proof from the Sunnah & accept verbal proof even, for the Malikiyya, I’ve come a cross a statement of Imam Maalik & so on(No Hadith reference). What proof do they use for this ruling? The statement of Imām Mālik seems very harsh and inconsiderate considering how serious the hadd is. In the Sunnah it’s clear that postponing the punishment for Zina is practiced, and it doesn’t seem so from the statement of Mālik & co.

Are large quantities of waswas punishment for sins? In other words the more good deeds we do and the lesser sins we do, this will cause the waswas to decrease the quantity of evil they contain and intensity and frequency. And the more bad deeds we do and lesser good deeds we do, this will cause the waswas to increase in quantity of evil they contain and intensity and frequency.

I tried looking up on this and found a mixed bag of answers as they usually only mentioned for Educational purposes (Dawah) or Sightseeing in the context of understanding what you shouldn't do. But what about the intention of sightseeing for purely tourism as in like admiring the architecture, not taking part in any practice and then moving on with your day? Just to clarify, it would not be the sole intention either but just on a bucket list of places during a vacation. Is it still haram? Thank you
