I was feeling extreme thirst while fasting today. I did not feel sick but I woke up only one hour before suhoor and I did not get to drink that much water. I had thoughts about breaking my fast to drink some or to drink a little and then continue fasting. I wasn't sure but after a while I was about to, and then later on I changed my mind. I asked people online about it and when someone told me it is not a valid reason to, I decided not to and to just wait until maghrib. I am now continuing with my fast but I'm concerned if thinking this already broke it. Is my fast still valid?

Anyone can make a claim that a food is halaal. There are food and imported meat that are certified halaal. But, these are imported from Muslim minority countries (like imported chicken from Brazil). So is such a certification sufficient? If not, what are the other requirements that are necessary to establish the halal status of a food, if one doesn't witness the slaughter?

I understand that it is wrong to kiss or touch a woman that is not your lawful spouse but my question is : does it break the fast to touch, kiss, or do any non sexual acts with her ?

So I read books at school for class and I read this book with a bird on the cover but I cover it up with a sticky note I could read other books without animal cover but I really like it so is it haram or halal

Can a muslim sister set the linkedin profile picture with only face? As it is for professional purposes

Asalamulaykum Warahmatulahi Wabarakatuh! I'd like to know whether or not it is halal to read a book to check if it has haram; I want to read a book in my house to make sure it doesn't contain anything haram if someone else wishes to read that book, would I be sinful if I found anything haram in there? As a side note, these books are mostly only words, not images, so if they were to say anything haram, would I be sinful if I find it?

Assalam Alaikum. I work as a laborer in a warehouse. My daily task is to physically pick and handle boxes containing food. These boxes are then placed on pallets, and later those pallets are transported by truck to stores for customers to buy. - About 15% of the boxes I pick and handle **daily** contain **pork**. I don't physically touch the pork, but the box containing it. - About 10% of meat products like beef, lamb and chicken are not labelled halal - status is unknown. - The remainder 75% are non - meat products like vegetables and bread. I have to pick and handle these boxes that contain pork, and I am unable to avoid this - it is part of my job and I have to do it and I do this everyday I am there. Handling pork is mandatory in this role. I am not in sales, ownership, or management. I am manual labor / logistics. **I am paid a wage for labor**, not commission or pork sales. 1. Do I have to leave this job? Is it haram? I do not want to do any other role in this company but this role. 2. Is my income haram? If so, how much? All of it or only the percentage of pork? I am **not** in **necessity** or in dire need. I have money saved up and can live comfortably and find an alternative job. If you can please help me with this and give me some guidance with references I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Assalam o Alaikum, I already know that cutting the eyebrows in Islam is Haram but what about the Unibrows(The Hair Between Eyebrows). They look very bad on my face and I have trimmed my Unibrows 2 times. But I am still not clear that It is Halal to Cut the Hair between Eyebrows because it doesn't look good.

Does laser treatment on face affect wudhu as it leaves a small laser layer on skin for days. Does it invalidate wudhu ?

Assalamu alaikum brother, I'm a huge movie addict. I know watching movies is a sin. But I was wondering if downloading the pirated movie, will that be considered as stealing??? (Humble request -Please try to answer with valid Hadith, not just a blind shot)

From the hadith below: - أنَّ ابنَ عمرَ كان يضعُ يدَهُ بيْنَ ثَديَيها ( يعنى الجاريةَ ) وعلى عُجُزِها من فوقِ الثيابِ ويكَشفُ عن ساقِها It tells that Umar[ra] used to shack the breasts of slavegirls in public in market. What is the authenticity of the hadith? Is it permissible?

So in minecraft there is an enchanting table and you put weapons or armour on it and there is a book with giberish on it that is on the table and it gives your weapons or armour super powers is this considered sihr and so playing it would be haram?

Aslamu Aleykum I am a licensed taxi driver working in Barcelona, Spain. I bought my license for around €135,000, the license and the car are completely mine but still i am strictly required by law to use the taximeter at all times. That means I cannot adjust my prices, even when demand is extremely high and passengers are everywhere. Meanwhile, companies like Uber, Cabify, and Bolt — operating under "VTC" licenses — are legally allowed to raise their prices whenever demand increases. And it’s not just a small increase. Their prices can skyrocket to outrageous levels. For example, a trip that would normally cost €15 can easily cost €45 or even over €80 during peak demand. These companies can multiply the price 4, 5 or even 8 times — and still operate legally. This system is deeply unfair. We, the taxi drivers, are more experienced, better trained, and even have a lower accident rate than VTC drivers, but we’re forced to stick to rigid pricing — no matter what the market conditions are. There are too many other taxi drivers — including Muslims — offer fixed prices during high-demand periods, charging more than the meter. The customer agrees, there’s no trickery, and they make more money. I truly want to do the same. I feel it every time I watch others earning more while I stick to the rules. But because I believe it might be haram, I hold myself back — even though it feels like I'm being punished for trying to do the right thing. I am struggling, and I sincerely need answers to these questions: -Is it haram to agree on a higher fixed fare with a customer during high demand — if the customer agrees clearly and there’s no deception? -In certain cases — like picking up wealthy clients from luxury hotels — would it be haram to add a small extra charge (e.g. €2.50 or €4.50) without telling the client, knowing that the amount is small, likely unnoticed, and causes them no harm — even if it is technically against the law? **Similar to a shopkeeper selling products to tourists with a little increase in price.** This is not just a financial issue. It affects my faith, my peace of mind, and my motivation to keep working. I want to earn my income in a way that is halal and honest, but I also want fairness in a system that feels heavily one-sided. I also believe that many Muslim taxi drivers around the world are going through the same struggle. Your answer would not only help me — it could bring clarity and relief to many others in this industry. I sincerely thank you for your time and guidance.

I joined a Ramadan competition recently. They award the winners by measuring the deeds we did to Allah and the person who has the highest points is awarded. Daily they update a form to fill, it basically consists of the number of Thahajjath rakaths prayed, juzu completed, number of dikrs done, amount of sadakah given, number of tharaweeh prayers. Based on the number we get points on daily basis. My point is, is it right to measure what we do to Allah and tell to them? This question rose because I don't count the number of dikrs I do because I do it with pleasure and go countless, also I don't feel it's right to measure what we do to Allah because Allah SWT doesn't give us countless blessings not by measuring. It's just eternal is what I think. I want to know whether this competition is right or wrong and if its wrong I am ready to quit at anytime.

First of all, I would like to thank in advance for answering in the most kindest way. And i apologize for making my questions so big. Just wanted to let you know where i'm coming from. I have heard that previously during Imam Malik's time, some slave women were walking around or getting out of their homes bare breasted. He had strongly condemned this practice due to his understanding of the Quran/Sunnah as per this narration: > Kitaab Al-Jami‘ of Al-Imam Ibn Abi Zayd Al-Qayrawani Al-Maliki (died > 386 AH): He said, "He (i.e. Al-Imam Malik ibn Anas) strongly > disapproved of the behaviour of the slave women of Madinah in going > out uncovered above the lower garment." He said, "I have spoken to the > Sultan about it, but I have not received a reply." He said, "Beat the > slave women if they do that." I am aware that slave women had a relaxed awrah compared to the free women as per the differing opinions of the various schools of thought due to their work in servile environments and veiling was prohibited as a social status indicator but in case of **fitnah** or **harassment** or **fear of trouble** they are supposed to cover themselves up as free women have to do. I am also aware that in some point in history, there were practices of slave women being **paraded bare breasted** for attracting the highest bidders or buyers. Also I understand that a seller can adorn their slave women for attracting buyers similar to how a woman is adorned for marriage. I understand that Islam humanizes slaves by granting them certain rights, emphasizing their emancipation, and encouraging them to be treated like family members—with dignity, kindness, and respect. Based on my understanding of the commentaries from various schools of thought, even during the inspection process in slave markets at the time of the Prophet and his companions, the environment was supposedly controlled, with minimal exposure encouraged unless absolutely necessary, and only with the genuine intention to buy could you look or touch upto some extent (over clothing in Umar R.A's case), touching prohibited in the presence of lust. (please correct me if i'm wrong). **My Question is as follows:** - Was bare chested display for ***auctions*** or ***convenience*** or ***parading*** them bare chested for attracting the highest bidders, is that islamic or buyers islamically sanctioned (haram or halal)? Or was it just a corrupt practice that the masters used to do to exploit their slave women for commercial purposes or personal benefits? If it is halal, why? It spreads fitnah, encourages lustful intentions,objectifies and exploits slave women, public indecency, strips off their dignity, violates modesty rules etc which is quite contrary to inspection which usually happens for practical reasons out of necessity as opposed to lustful intentions. Also please answer this as well if possible Question regarding Slave Women Inspection Limits in the marketplace Thanks!

There are some divine laws which are decreed, and I don’t like them because, I can’t do things I liked. I have told about this to my Christian mother, and she told me that this means that I rise up against God if I don’t like some divine laws. I have also asked my Muslim father regarding this, and he said that it is not an act of disbelief to dislike some divine laws. And another Muslim told me 99% correct as my mother told me. What confuses me is that, both they differently then one another, and I can’t tell who’s right or wrong, and I don’t know if **by disliking some divine laws entails an act of disbelief? Yes or no? If yes, where’s the clear proof?** Because, I’ve told my mother that I don’t have the intention to rise up against God, I’m a nobody to do this. And she insist by telling me that, even though you think that you do not have this intention, still it is an act of disbelief. The reason for disliking some divine laws is because, it makes me feel uncomfortable, and I’m obligated to stay away from doing things I like. Can someone please give me a concrete information regarding this issue? Because, I have this problem for long time. I can’t tell why and how this is definitely an act of disbelief.
