Will my missed prayers be counted as negligence if I leave them due to lapse of time?
I was 7 minutes away from sunrise when I woke up for fajr. I didn't pray due to the reason I mentioned. Also I wasn't sure about exact time of sunrise. So I finally let it go.

I have set daily alarm but I don't remember if I woke up on it or due to dominant sleep I just turned it off while it was ringing. Will this be counted in my negligence?

Does almost laughing break prayer?
If you have the urge to laugh and try to stop yourself but make a slightly sneaky noise with your throat for a second, without smiling, does that break your prayer?

Is tissue paper sufficient for the toilet?
If you are used to using water and tissue to clean it is very hard to use only tissue and feel clean. However it would depend on how solid is your output as more solidity would be less need for water generally speaking.

If you are used to using water and tissue to clean it is very hard to use only tissue and feel clean. However it would depend on how solid is your output as more solidity would be less need for water generally speaking.
Now salah cannot be missed because you just used tissue say in a non Muslim place of work and you didn't arrange to have a bottle or wet tissue.
Question: So in this situation would you try your best to clean only with tissue but it didn't do a great job as your output was softer but that is best you can do and then you do wudhu and pray??
Having said that if you can use water to do wudhu and after washing your hands you ought to be able to use it for cleaning after toilet.

Does Qur'an 23:6 talk about "wives" or "spouses" in إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ?
Qur'an 23:6 has varying translations (see [Islam Awakened][3]): > إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ > > **except with their wives**, and what their right hands possess for then they are free from blame, -- Wahiduddin Khan > > **except with thei...
Qur'an 23:6 has varying translations (see Islam Awakened ):
> إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
>
> **except with their wives**, and what their right hands possess for then they are free from blame, -- Wahiduddin Khan
>
> **except with their spouses** and whomever their right hands may control, since then they are free from blame. -- T.B.Irving
In the first case, the ayah seems directed at men since it refers to "wives". But in the second case, it refers to "spouses".
I put أَزْوَاجِهِمْ into Google Translate , and it says "their husbands", but that's not listed among the Islam Awakened translations.
**Question**: Does Qur'an 23:6 talk about "wives" or "spouses" in إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ?

Does Al-Bukhari 3508 hadith contradicts the Qur'an Honourable?
Sahih Al-Bukhari 3508: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If somebody claims to be the son of any other than his real father knowingly, he but disbelieves in Allah, and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire." I find the second p...
Sahih Al-Bukhari 3508:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If somebody claims to be the son of any other than his real father knowingly, he but disbelieves in Allah, and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."
I find the second part problematic:
*"and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."*
In the Qur'an Kerim, it states clearly:
**"Indeed, We have dignified the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, granted them good and lawful provisions, and privileged them far above many of Our creatures."**
Qur'an Kerim 17:70
Further a hadith confirms this:
*“Verily, **Allah has removed from you the pride of the time of ignorance, with its boasting of ancestors,** for one can only be a righteous believer or a miserable evildoer. All of the people are the children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust.”*
- Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3955
(Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani.)
According to this Qur'an Kerim Ayah and the Al-Tirmidhi hadith:
You, me, all of us are Children of The Prophet Adam SAWS or 'Children of Adam' which means:
I can clearly claim to be of any ethnicity: Arab, Chinese, Kurdish, Turkish, European, Malawi etc. because **we are all One Tribe.**
And who knows except Allah SWT who was yours or mine ancestor millennia ago.
Also, there is a reason that all of us, Muslims and all others are called Brothers and Sisters in Humanity for a reason.
Most probably our ethnicities changed through ancestry and time.
So,
*"and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."*
This part of that first hadith seems problematic since it clearly contradicts Qur'an Honourable in this aspect.
And rejecting Qur'an Kerim is also an Act of Kufr.
Since I'm kind of puzzled with this, could you resolve this question for me.
Thanks and Selam,
Emir

How should we wash our feet for wudu?
What's the most practical way to wash feet in wudu? In my place, the sink is too high (or perhaps I am too short) which makes it difficult to wash the feet; or is better to use a bucket or tub of water? also, should we dry the feet immediately, because otherwise slippers and floor get wet?

There is a hadith about Umm Hani approaching the Prophet (ﷺ), and she asked him for a good deed that she could do because she had become old and weak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that if she said Subhanallah 100x, it would be equivalent to freeing 100 slaves from the children of Ismail, and if she said Alhamdullilah 100x, it would be equivalent to sending 100 horses to battle in the way of Allah for jihad, and if she said Allahuakbar 100x, it would be as if you dressed 100 camels to get sacraficed in Hajj.
I can't find much information about the validity of this hadith online, so does anybody know if it is authentic or not?

I know someone who was raised Christian and continues to believe in God, but questions the modern day bible and believes it to have been altered, he also questions the notion of the Trinity, and whether Jesus was simply a human and not is not to be considered the son of God.
My understand is that what defines "Ahlul Kitab" are that they believe in God and believe and follow the guidance of the bible/torah based on them being Christian or Jewish, but in situations where someone questions the modern day version of the bible and believes it to have been altered, is he still considered "Ahlul Kitab"?
Thank you
