Please clarify a concern I have developed after visiting my mother's grave. She passed recently and after visiting her grave recently I noticed an abnormally high amount of ants around it and on the grave. Does this have any Islamic significance since the unusual amount of ants was such that I could hardly offer dua for any significant of time because they started crawling up my pants? This naturally has been highly disturbing and led me to find out if this could be interpreted as punishment being suffered in the grave. Is that so?

What is meant by the sky being built or a building? For example in these next two verses Quran 2:22 and Quran 40:64 the word بِنَآءًۭ is used which i think means building. Quran 40:64 > "It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds." and Quran 2:22 > "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]." and in Quran 50:6 the word used is بَنَيْنَـٰهَا which means built i think > "Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?"

according to authentic hadiths she will be with her last husband. does that mean her previous husband will lose her in jannah? what's the point of forming a relationship and taking the time to be bond then? aren't we supposed to find peace/comfort within our spouses according to the holy quran? So does the man just watch as his wife enters jannah with another man, knowing there's absolutely nothing he can do since he died?

Last year the Turing test was passed, where a machine was able to convince people that it was human. There are no problems with computers in Islam as they're just tools, but I'm certain that creating a computer that simulates intelligence would be frowned upon. Has there been any ruling on the subject or are there any materials that discuss the issue? This is simply something I'm curious about as I'm sure it will become an issue in future. I'm sure those working on artificial intelligence will be asking the same question.

Assalamu Alaikum I have a friend who doesn't beleive in the death penalty for apostasy, so I tried to convince him using the example of the Sahabah, that they fought the the apostate tribes, and forced them to convert to Islam and pay Zakah. However, he thinks that theses tribes (like Banu Hanifah) 'claimed to be muslim' (even though, they obviously weren't muslim as they had accepted a false prophet), which is why it was necessary to compel them into giving Zakah. In other words, he beleives that if they had explicitly renounced Islam, Abu Bakr RA would have had no option but to take Jizya from them. So what I'm looking for here, is authentic/sound narrations to prove that any of these tribes had explicitly renounced Islam or explicitly denied the shahadah becuase he thinks that these tribes still beleived Muhammad SAW to be a Messenger, just not the last Prophet (which is obviously also kufr, but not explicit). So can y'all find some please :)

I've read that imam Rafi, a great shafi'i scholar allowed the reed flute whilst imam Nawawi disagreed with him. What evidence did imam Rafi'i use to justify his ruling?

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I have a question about prayer time. Sometimes, I take ghusl or make wudu about an hour before the end of Dhuhr time (for example, at 4:00 PM), and then I wait until near the end — I pray Dhuhr about 5–10 minutes before its time ends. Right after that, Asr time begins, and I pray Asr. I have enough time to pray earlier, but I don’t want to take wudu or make ghusl many times a day if I am still in a state of purity. My question is: Is it allowed to delay Dhuhr close to the end of its time, even though I could pray earlier, just to avoid making wudu again before Asr?

The society of Muslims needs to be guided by caliph after prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Hence, after the death of holy prophet (PBUH), a caliph was assigned to guide and rule the Muslims. According to my findings in noble Qur'an, God has assigned the caliph. For example, Moses the prophet (PBUH) didn't ask people to form a Shura for choosing a successor when he left for Miqat. > Moses said: "O’ Allah) assign me a vizier from my family, (that is) my > brother Aaron (Haroon) ...,”(Allah) said: "We granted your requests, > O’ Moses.”(20:29-36) . Or in another verse, Allah the exalted, directly mentions the word "Caliph": > يَا دَاوُودُ **إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً** فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ فَاحْكُم > بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن > سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ > لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ > > [We said], "O David, indeed **We have made you a successor** upon the > earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your > own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." > Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe > punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.(38:26) But I didn't find other clues mentioning the authority of the prophet or people. Please let me know if others except God has such an authority. Support your answer using Qur'an and Hadith.

I have a story in mind that I want to write, but do not want to go against islamic law. The story would include heros and villains that would go to war , raids and pillaging, and evil things done by the villains. Would it be ok to have the villains do evil deeds but then be beat by the hero of the story that promotes good deeds, and good values.

As-salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatoh. I came across a hadith which goes like this: > Sahih al-Bukhari 838 Narrated `Itban bin Malik: > > We prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to finish our prayer with the > Taslim along with him. And many people use this hadith as a evidence that doing the taslim with the imam is allowed and sunnah. Now my question is, how come scholars like Ibn Uthaymeen RH and others say that it is makrooh to say the taslim along with the imam when the companions did it themselves? Source: > Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo’ (3/464): > Al-Baghawi said: It is mustahabb not to start the salaam until the > imam has finished both taslims. This is the view of al-Shaafa’i > according to al-Buwayti, as was quoted by al-Baghawi. He said: Whoever > is (praying) behind an imam, when the imam has finished his salaam, he > should say salaam to his right and his left. End quote. > > Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Sharh > al-Mumti’ (4/267): The scholars said: It is makrooh to say the first > and second taslim with your imam, but if you say the first taslim > after his first taslim and the second taslim after his second taslim, > there is nothing wrong with that, but it is better not to say the > taslim until after he has said both taslims. End quote. So how came those Great scholars say that it is mustahab not to say the taslim with the imam, and that it is makrooh when it was a practice by the sahaba? JazakAllahu Khayran.

My mother was talking on the phone and I heard her say “I swear to my kids” I asked her about it and she said she knows it’s haram but she just wanted the person on the phone to believe her. I told her it was shirk and she said “Astaghfurillah, God forgive me.” Does it count as shirk towards her even if she didn't know? And should she do Tawbah?

Assalamu Alaikum Mufti Sahib, I have a question. I have full knowledge of a halal trading method that I can share with people — and that 90% knowledge is enough to make them profitable. But I also have my own personal trading strategy that is separate from that and not required for success. My question is: Is it a sin if I share the full profitable method with others but keep my own personal strategy private? Or does hiding that personal method count as hiding knowledge in Islam? JazakAllah Khair

As-salamu alaykum, I am making halal games and I need some sort of music so that it will not feel too empty but the issue is that music are haram so I wanted to know if I can make music by creating sounds on my own like from mouth, hitting some object and any kind of sound other than music instruments and modifying their pitch, frequency and stuff to make a final music. Thank you

In the last few weeks I saw many fatawas about the topic intime relations with your pre pubescent wife, there were mention things like thigh Intercourse and many other stuff audhubillah.

Is it permissible to pay my tuition fees through a riba-based bank? My school has only one option to pay tuition fees. I only go to the bank and pay the fees to the cashier and they sign my fees card, then transfer the money to my school (maybe they also charge money from my school authority) . Is it permissible for me to pay through this bank?

Each year i used to go stay with my grandparents who are at a different region where it takes half a day to go into in bus and i would stay there for more than one month. I do this to give them company and assist them as they are really old. But recently i learned that it is haram for a woman to travel alone but my only mahram is my father who cant travel due to being weak because of healt issues. And if i am almost obliged to go because if i dont my grandparents will be really sad and angry with me and it will cause some drama in the family. Then can i still go alone as i have done it for a long time and never had any problem whatsoever?

Is it permissible (halal) to work in a promotion company that promotes movies and cartoons, but only promotes halal content and also requires a security deposit in advance from us before starting the job? The job involves watching videos for just 10 seconds as part of the work—can we take up such a job?

My work usually pays for my accommodation as I travel. Ordinarily, I stay in the cheapest possible place (e.g. backpackers), but sometimes I stay in more expensive places even though it's not strictly necessary. There'll be some justifications, e.g. the conference will be more convenient to get to; I didn't have time to optimize my bookings; I don't want to make my lab look like it's "cheap"; to avoid staying in mixed-gender accommodation. **Question**: Is unnecessarily staying in a more expensive hotel and charging it to my employer a sin? Depending on how you look at it, this resembles "theft"---I could send a smaller bill to my employer by staying at lower quality accommodation. My employer is not going to get grumpy at me (usually others stay in nicer accommodation than I require).
