Divine punishments of opressing tribes?? All of them even kids?
Well, we have a lot of stories in holy Qur'an about tribes of different prophets who were misguided and oppressor, finally when disappointed of their guidance God sends down a punishment and everyone dies except believers. (E.g. Prophet Noah's tribe) It doesn't explain but I assume the whole tribe i...
Well, we have a lot of stories in holy Qur'an about tribes of different prophets who were misguided and oppressor, finally when disappointed of their guidance God sends down a punishment and everyone dies except believers. (E.g. Prophet Noah's tribe)
It doesn't explain but I assume the whole tribe is punished, right? Is that also the case for the kids of the tribe? If yes, how can we explain this?

What is the exact age of Tamiz (التمییز) for children?
I have heard that it is better for men and women to observe some items or rulings (Ahkam) in front of the children who are at the age of Tamiz (التمییز).

I have heard that it is better for men and women to observe some items or rulings (Ahkam) in front of the children who are at the age of Tamiz (التمییز). According to my researches, the age of Tamiz is the age of the children who are not in the age of Bolugh (puberty) but are able to realize the difference between good and bad things.
- www.askdin.com
But I did not find any precise number (age) about it. So what is the range of Tamiz age?

Will children who die, go to heaven or they'll go to another place?
Will children who die, go to the Jannah (heaven) or they'll go to another place? I have heard that children won't go to the heaven which Mo'menin will go (I mean the children who die before the age of puberty). In truth, they will go to another place which is not as fantastic as Jannah, but on the w...
Will children who die, go to the Jannah (heaven) or they'll go to another place?
I have heard that children won't go to the heaven which Mo'menin will go (I mean the children who die before the age of puberty). In truth, they will go to another place which is not as fantastic as Jannah, but on the whole that is a good place and actually that is a better than this world.
- My question is that firstly “is it a fact that they go to another
place"?
- Secondly if so, where is that place and what is its name?
*(**Note**: I am looking for authentic hadith(s) regarding this matter)*

What is the ruling on giving orphans inheritance after our death?
I am aware that Islam encourages looking after the orphans. It also prohibits giving your own lineage in place of their original lineage (through a change in surname). But what is the ruling related to giving them inheritance after our death?

Is the minimum marriage age for males 12 and females 9 in the Hanafi fiqh?
On the [Marriageable age][1] Wikipedia page > In Quran, the "age of marriage" coincides with puberty.

However, many schools of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) set marriageable age...
On the Marriageable age Wikipedia page
> In Quran, the "age of marriage" coincides with puberty. Classical Islamic law (Sharia) does not have a marriageable age because there is no minimum age at which puberty can occur. However, many schools of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) set marriageable ages for men and women.
And lists the ages
Male consent Female consent
Hanafi 12 9
I'd like to fact-check these numbers and identify a reliable reference. No inline references are given on the Wikipedia page.
**Question**: Is the minimum marriage age for males 12 and females 9 in the Hanafi fiqh?
The closest reference I found was As-Sayyid Sabiq, *Fiqh us-Sunnah* The Book on Acts of Worship (pdf ) which says:
> Fiqh 1.69: Menstruation ... Most scholars say that its time begins at the age of nine.
This seems to support part of the claim on Wikipedia.

Does having sexual knowledge and understanding of gender render an individual (whether male/female) to be considered Baligh whether an individual even if that child hasn't reached puberty?
This question came to my mind after listening to the short video below from a lecture on Nikah. This question comes while Daee Br Imran was discussing issues related to sex education in the link below!!!
Video for better understanding (unfortunately video is in Urdu. Auto CC is there)

Young Children (say, about 5 years old) do not have the obligation and are not supposed to join Salat; they are not fully able to understand the meaning and to do everything properly but they like to be part and imitate what they see.
Is it allowed/well-received to let them participate in the way they are doing it?
If not, should they participate under age when they want and learned to do everything properly (e.g. 8 years old)
Answers according to any fiqh are welcome, Hanafi preferred.

Ruling on a child missing prayer
In websites, it's written a healthy adult missing prayer intentionally is a grave sin. What about young children who have not reached the age of adolescence (i.e. puberty)? Is there sin on them? Please provide Hadith or Quranic verses to support this answer.
