What I have read till now is indulging in ribs in anyway is forbidden, be it taking, giving, making contract, executing or being witness.
My questions:
1) What if I do not facilitate loan but get muslim buyers who are willing to take loan on their own...can I work for just seller in that case?
2) As a real estate agent can I attend the closure meeting from seller side while muslim buyer is getting bank loan on its own? Will I become a witness?

I've got questions about oaths.
I know that if you say oaths in your mind they're not valid but,
1. What happens if you hum the oath whether your lips are closed or not?
2. Also what if you're saying an oath in your mind but your mouth is open? (And you're not sure if you could've said it out loud accidentally or if yk you didn't say it out loud)
Thank you :)

Understand Verse 2:7 of Quran
The literal translation of the verse https://quran.com/2/7 is > Allah has sealed their hearts, locking inside them their falsehood, > and has placed a seal on their hearing, so that they do not listen to > nor accept the truth. He has put a cover over their eyes so that they > do not see the truth i...
The literal translation of the verse https://quran.com/2/7 is
> Allah has sealed their hearts, locking inside them their falsehood,
> and has placed a seal on their hearing, so that they do not listen to
> nor accept the truth. He has put a cover over their eyes so that they
> do not see the truth in its clarity. They will suffer greatly.
To whom does this verse refer? A non-Muslim disbeliever or a Muslim disbeliever?
If this verse refers to a non-Muslim disbeliever then doesn't this feel unjust? Why will Allah SWT punish someone for not believing and following Islam if He himself made them so? It's like they were stopped from not understanding and following Islam by Allah SWT himself and then in the afterlife, they are being punished for not following Islam.
If this verse refers to a Muslim disbeliever, then this should mean that any Muslim disbeliever shouldn't be able to revert back to Islam as Allah would have sealed his/her heart but there are instances where people have reverted back.
Please help me understand this verse.

Is practicing ruqya prohibited?
I came across this Hadith today: > "Narrated Ibn `Abbas: > > Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Seventy thousand people of my followers > will enter Paradise without accounts, and they are those who do not > **practice** Ar-Ruqya and do not see an evil omen in things, and put their > trust in their Lord."...

> will enter Paradise without accounts, and they are those who do not
> **practice** Ar-Ruqya and do not see an evil omen in things, and put their

My earlier understanding was that it is not recommended to explicitly go to some "pir" or "murshad" to seek ruqya. But one was allowed to learn the duas and perform it on oneself or on someone else before they explicitly out of desperation seek for it.
But the above Hadith even includes those "practice" it. Please clarify on the tafsir of this Hadith.

If infallible Muhammad can abrogate the Quran with his own words, as many Sunnis believe, than that implies that the Imams can do the same, as they are also infallible.
How do Twelvers and Ismailis differ on this question?

Question on Consent For Female Slaves in Islam
I see mixed messages on this. I found one Hadith which seems to infer that consent is required. > حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدًا، كَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَى > رَقِيقِ الْخُمُسِ وَأَنَّهُ اسْتَكْرَهَ جَارِيَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ > الرَّقِيقِ فَوَقَعَ بِهَا فَجَلَدَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَنَفَ...

>
> Muwatta Malik https://sunnah.com/urn/515160
But the Quran and the rest of the Hadiths on this matter do not refer to consent at all. There is no mention of it.
Many Muslims will make an argument that because Muhammad said "do no harm" this would apply to sexual relations too and mean consent is required, but this is really stretching it.
Others say that because Muhammad ordered a slave freed because she was slapped, therefore consent is required for sex with a female slave.
What is the right interpretation?

Assalamualaikum,
I am fully aware that all the ten major qiraats are authentic and have no contradictions in them. I am having trouble on ayat in particular which is Surah hud ayat 81 in hafs and Al-bazzi. I have seen one response on this website but I am still confused on how it means the same thing. In hafs the ayat reads as if the angles command prophet Lut to take everyone in his family except his wife and to not look back. On the other hand in Al-bazzi from my understanding it reads like the angles are commanding him to take everyone including his wife and that she’ll be the only one to look back. I don’t understand how the angels could have said both and meant the same thing. Jazakallah Khair for any help you can give.

Is the amount of blood money for a male child higher than an adult female?
I know that the blood money for women in Islam is considered half of a man, but does this apply for children to? If so, does this mean that a woman's blood money is less than a male child?

Ahadeeth concerning the ones who do not fight us
When it comes to these two ahadeeth from the prophet (sws): > "Verily, the worst transgressors to Allah are those who kill in the sacred mosque, those who kill whoever did not fight him, or those who kill with the vindictiveness of ignorance."

When it comes to these two ahadeeth from the prophet (sws):
> "Verily, the worst transgressors to Allah are those who kill in the sacred mosque, those who kill whoever did not fight him, or those who kill with the vindictiveness of ignorance."
Source : Musnad Ahmad 6681
> "Verily, the most tyrannical of people to Allah Almighty is one who kills those who did not fight him, or he demands the blood feuds of ignorance be settled by the people of Islam, or he claims his eyes have seen in a dream what they did not see.”
Source : Musnad Ahmad 16376
Did the prophet say that in a context of a hudna between Muslims and kuffaar (or any other peace treaty that protects kuffaar's blood and wealth)?
Or was he talking exclusively about the Muslims (whose blood and wealth are protected if they do not fight other Muslims)?
Or was he talking about the kuffaar who are not capable of fighting (women, children, the blind, old ones and monks)?
Or was he talking about all people who are non-combatants (including adult males among the kuffaar when there's no peace treaty)?

Assalam o alaikum. I have an elder sister and her behaviour is extremely rude towards me despite the best of my efforts. The thing usually starts when I request her to talk in a slow voice and modest manner because the neighbours can hear her. But, she never cares what I say and then starts using bad words. A few days ago, she even said that I can swear upon this that I extremely hate you. She also said that I only use you when I want to get some favour from you. Apart from this, you're nothing for me.
Till date, I have tried my best to keep my relation intact with her but I can't bear now. This has become a daily routine. I have decided to stop talking with her so that she can realize.
Kindly guide on this matter

There is statement which is famous among people and in English books related to Biography of Umar رضي الله عنه. It is stated that
> Umar رضي الله عنه during his caliphate forbade the enslavement of Arab (whether they are
> Muslims or Non-Muslims] and even order to Free any Arab Slaves along
> slaves who captured during Riddah Wars of Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه.
But I haven't come across any scholars' texts mentioning this. Many point towards **"Shurut al-Umariyyah (شروط العمرية)"** but I have found only شرح of it and even those شرح doesn't mention what is being claimed.
So what is authenticity of claim being made regarding Umar رضي الله عنه order on enslavement of Arabs?

I live in a non muslim country,and recently I started working for a 'tree planting' company. So they import the quarter of their trees from foreign countries but gets the rest illegally from mountains, but the tree is not considered rare or about to be extinct, it's just illegal to take trees from mountains. Islamicly it is a good deed to plant a tree and it's also halal to get trees from mountains but since it is illegal in my country,is my income haram or am I just sinfull for doing illegal stuff?

I have been praying and reading the Quran but I’m worried that I might be a hypocrite. I found out what that means a while ago and how bad the punishments are, and I’m scared because I fit some of its description.
Even though I pray and see myself as a Muslim, I also do a lot of bad things.
For example, I sometimes lie, get upset at my parents, talk to non-Muslim guys, and look at things online that I shouldn’t be looking at. Sometimes I get lazy to pray and do it in a hurry. I pray alone and ask for forgiveness for my sins everyday, but I know that I’ll keep doing it anyways. I feel bad and I do want to be a good Muslim, not for others but for myself and for Allah. But I’m scared now.
**Am I a hypocrite or am I just like any other Muslim who commits a sin?**
