As Ayatollah Khomeini says, it is not permissible to have intercourse before the age of nine, whether in nikah (permanent marriage) or temporary marriage. However, it is stated that all other pleasures like as amorous touch, hugging, and thighing are permitted even with a breastfeeding child.
What is the ruling regarding this issue in Sunni Muslim because I didn't find anything like this in Sunni Scholars books.

Assalamualaikum,
For years, I have been taught that, according to Islam, it is better for Muslim girls to stay at home. Girls should not go outside without the permission of their parents or husband. Getting jobs and working with unrelated males is also strictly prohibited.
**Is it true that to be a faithful Muslim woman, I cannot hold a job or build up an identity of my own?**

Rights and obligations of spouses if they still live with their parents

I learned from a previous fatwa that if you are a student and are not financially able to get married, you can still get married and both live with their parents until he is financially stable. My question is whether all rights and obligations of the spouses continue to exist during this time or whether this circumstance changes anything. Specifically, I am asking whether the husband has the right over his wife to have intercourse with her during this time. If not, please provide proof.

Assalamu Alaikum.
I am really scared about this. The thing is that
Me and someone else (a fellow) transgressed against someone's right. He gave me an idea and i just remained silent and he did the transgression (so i am also involved in this). Now after being guided it has come to my mind that i should apologize to the person whose right we transgressed against and also restore his right in some way if possible but by telling him that we did such a thing would expose the fellow with whom i trangressed .
**So should I hide his sin or apologize to the person by exposing him?**

I am a 17 year old currently studying intermediate. The intermediate education is provided by colleges in my country. In my secondary exams (on the basis of which students get admission in college for inter) I remember I asked a question of a friend during the exam to confirm a doubt. Now I realize that by doing that I may have disfavoured someone else who did not cheat. Now, I am in the final year of inter. Should I discontinue studies because studying in this college may have been someone else's right?

Salam everyone.
I will come directly to the point.
I want to know that what are the girls right in islam if girl wants to marry a muslim person of her own choice. But parents are not accepting her decision. Without any reason. That person has respectfully send his parents and asked for their daughters hand but they did not agree. Now trying to convince her parents she waited for 2 years. Now the question is that she is on her own now as muslim a girl needs WALI but in her case no one is there for her help. So in that case can she marry that person without wali or making someone else her wali? (not from her family ofcourse as they are against it). She tried her best to convince them but they are refusing just beacuse its her choice and they dont consider it good that girl choose her partner.
So please enlighten me in this case that what can she do?

Forcing to read the Quran
My parents are Huffaz الحمد لله and they want me to practice the Quran as well, I love the Quran, but I do not like being compelled to read it, because I would only see the efforts of my parents and not the efforts of myself.

My parents are Huffaz الحمد لله and they want me to practice the Quran as well, I love the Quran, but I do not like being compelled to read it, because I would only see the efforts of my parents and not the efforts of myself. My parents always tell me to take the Qur'an and read it, memorize, and then do تسميع to them, wgich means they test me with what I memorized at a specific time, but this time doesnt really go with the way my schedule goes. i am also not comfortable with this because I have exams coming up and my studies are getting harder, so I need to manage my time by myslef in order to know when I can do something and when I cannot. Not only do I not want to be tested by someone with what I memorized, I also do not want someone to tell me when to take the Qur'an because I know when I should takethe Qur'an and read, because I am grown-up enough to know. But they still want them to test me and tell me when to take the Qur'an when I don't want it. If I don't do as they say, they will be angry with me and will not talk to me.

I work as a Freelancer. I recently got into a contract with a client, we set up a deadline, and I agreed that I will deliver on the aforementioned deadline. But due to my own lack of competence, I came no way near to that goal.
Keep in mind that I took absolutely no payment from the client. And also didn't deliver any work. Is repenting to Allah SWT enough in this case? Or will I be held responsible even after repenting sincerely?
JazakAllah Khair.

I am a Muslim female. In the past I was very insecure and used photos of other girls and I claimed that those were photos of me when I sent it to other guys I was talking to online when they would ask, cause they are really pretty! I never spoke to any of the girls (one knew who I was however we never spoke but the others don't know me at all). Now that Allah has called me back to Him I am really religious and trying to be the best Muslim I can. I now realise and really regret my mistake however I am fearful Allah will throw me into jahannam because of the “rights of others” concept where that person must forgive you first.
Have I breached their rights according to Islam? I never made the girls look bad and the guys I spoke to don't know them either.
I have repented to Allah many times and deeply, deeply regret my past actions and have cried thinking about it because I'm so worried what will happen to me on judgment day.
Please help me, do I need to confront and confess to those girls and ask for their forgiveness even though their photos were complimented? That would be extremely embarrassing and hard since I don't know them and would make my life miserable and they would hate me and tell everyone they know! I wouldn't be able to bear that because i would be so ashamed!

I am a 28 years old woman, and by the grace of Allah, alhamdoliAllah, I earn myself and I am not dependent on any person in family monetarily.
My question is that in islam, what rights do my brother, his wife and their children have upon me, and what rights do I have upon them?
________________________________
EDIT: What I mean by *rights* is that every human has a duty towards another, for example a daughter has certain duties towards her mother, and those become the rights of the mother upon the daughter. So, I mean human rights.
_________________________________
**EDIT: This is what I mean by *rights:***
Like my mother has a right upon me that I address her with utmost respect. And I do "ehsaan" on her as instructed in Quran in 4:33. And I can never say anything harsh to her. And if I am rude to her, then God forbid one has to face the wrath of Allah.
Likewise, if she grows old and can not earn, then I have to support her financially. I have to give her medicines. I have to take her to the doctor. **All these are her rights and my farz/duty.**
So we know what rights parents have on their children. But my question is that what rights do siblings have on each other. What is my brother's farz towards me and what is mine towards him? Likewise what is the farz of my brother's wife towards me and vice versa. What is my farz towards borther's babies?

I met a girl on social site and met her only once during her birthday. The main problem is that she’s a Muslim girl and I belong to a Hindu family. She refused by saying that her religion doesn’t allow to practice such things especially keeping it as a secret, so called as “**Haram**” and also concluded saying that her parents would disown her and reputation of the family will go down in the society.
I never made any physical relationship with girl, not even a hug or sat very close together except just shaking hands just during her birthday. Never looked with bad intention and always lowered my eyes whenever I had a conversation to her.

Why not make up your own times to pray from non Muslim
When a non Muslim learns that Muslims are required to pray at particular times of the day, his reply was you should be able to decide for yourself when to pray.

For example, Perhaps you are busy today or tired so you pray less and pray more on other days. Basically you choose how many times to pray per day and when. Why is this not a good idea from an Islamic perspective?

I know this is not the place for such questions. I just know there are many Muslim users here and moreover many humans here. So many countries with so many humans are not doing anything to help a small country? It has been years. Many countries call themselves powerful but still don't take a step to help Syria. Why can't we help them? Imagine how powerful we are if we join each other and stop it. How will we face Allah when we will be asked what did we do to stop it? When will we help them? Why don't we help them?

I'm in urgent need to get married. Recently, I finished my Master and now looking for job/PhD position. Before, I finish my MS: I promised myself that once I graduate I'll get married. But, so far, I'm looking for Job, and nothing is secured yet. I'm abroad for two years, was planning to go back to my family, but, I faced some visa issues, and had been returned back from the airport. Is there any sins if I delayed the marriage, until, Insha-Allah, find a job or something? If I started the PhD I may not find enough time (long vacation) to travel and get married there in my homeland, can I look for some woman locally and just get married, How about my family, If they disagreed about the Idea of getting married abroad; what to do?, or should I just stop everything (job hunting, my potential PhD ...etc.), and just go back to my country and get married?
Find a job or study in my home-country is too difficult, if not said impossible.
I'm afraid of Allah, if I attain some sins.
