Can you provide a Sahih hadith that clearly states Aisha (RA) attained puberty at 9 before her marriage was consummated? There is no direct evidence confirming this.
No authentic hadith states Aisha (RA) said, "I attained puberty before consummation."
If a non-Muslim asks for proof she was mature at 9, what authentic references should I provide
Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

Types of products:

All these items are mostly mixed with natural soil and sand above it".

I have heard from one person that it is not permissible to use these items inside home for aquarium plants and indoor plants.

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam,
In a scenario where a Muslim has something of his stolen, and another Muslim brother comes along and informs him of the thief and his whereabouts and gives a testimony of him witnessing the robbery which is later proved to be accurate and the theif is caught.
In this case, can the owner of the stolen goods reward the brother who helped him, with a portion of that stolen goods as a token of thanks?
Is this considered imitating the kufr or unislamic in anyway or can it be understood to be encouraged?

In this post there's a quote of a maliki point of view regarding how to make up at least fajr prayer (malikis distinct between the sunna and fard of fajr by calling the fard sobh). I also know that some schools a allow making up witr, but don't exactly know the limitations.
My Question is:
What are/is the view(s) of scholars on performing qada' for nafl/sunna prayers, is it recommended, if yes how and are there any limitation (for example can I do qada' when ever I recall it as the case for fard according the sahih hadith:
> "He who forgets the prayer, or he slept (and it was omitted), its expiation is (only) that he should observe it when he remembers it."
. or can I only make up the prayers I missed actually).

Blasphemy of religions other than Islam
Bismillah, It is well-known that the punishment for saying something deliberately and unambiguously, insulting to Islam or Prophet Muhammad SAW, is death as was thoroughly explained by @UmH in her answer to https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/2625/how-should-insults-to-the-prophet-muhammad-pbu...
Bismillah,
It is well-known that the punishment for saying something deliberately and unambiguously, insulting to Islam or Prophet Muhammad SAW, is death as was thoroughly explained by @UmH in her answer to https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/2625/how-should-insults-to-the-prophet-muhammad-pbuh-be-handled
However, I also want to know how, and if, blasphemy against other religions should he punished in a Muslim state.
I got curious about this due to the following verse:
>وَلا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ.
And don't revile those, whom they (the disbelievers) invoke other than Allah
This verse prohibits insulting all religions other than Islam. And since all sins are to he punished by ta'zeer by Ijma', it seems that it's obligatory upon an Islamic goverment to do ta'zeer against this as well.
So now, I want an answer that explains, wether my reasoning is right, and if so, is this punishment to be applied on all people who blaspheme other religions, or only Muslims who do this.
Jazak Allah!

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.

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.

Permissibility of the reed flute
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?

Why did scholars say that doing the taslim with the imam is makrooh when the sahaba did it themselves?

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

>
> 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

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.

But as much as I know, Aql is considered as a source which has higher position/place (in Shia's view) in comparison with the view of other Mazhabs (sects). So, my query is that:
**What is the reason that Shia (Twelver Shia) hold Aql in a higher position in comparison with other sects?**
