Is using lgbt supported services haram?
Salam What if you wanted for example to buy a car from Mercedes Benz, a company that supports lgbt? Would it be haram to buy the car since they support lgbt? Same with for example using Disney+ or playing on Xbox, companies that support lgbt. Would it be haram to use these services?

Is operating on female patient in this specific condition haram?
I am a MD radiologist. To give some context I live in a non Muslim majority country. I work in a hospital 6 days a week. In our department there are 5 radiologist including me.

I am a MD radiologist. To give some context I live in a non Muslim majority country. I work in a hospital 6 days a week. In our department there are 5 radiologist including me. Only 1 of them is female and rest all are male. And I am the only muslim there. I chose radiology because I had a good rank and it is also the top sought profession with a small closing rank.
Now our typical day involves CT scan, MRI, USG not only of pregnancy but also to evaluate organs like the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas, to examine muscles, tendons, and joints, Vascular ultrasound,Thyroid ultrasound, Pediatric ultrasound, Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram), Prostate ultrasound, Other Ultrasound-guided procedures. Now we do have a good patient load hence everyone is busy. For female reproductive part disease related and breast related issues the female radio handles it almost 99% of time and also there is patient preference in this case. Rest work is done by division of labour.
Now as far as how work is concerned there is a male and a female attendent for respective genders regardless of the doctor's gender they do all covering, uncovering positioning, etc. We keep a device on belly(for ultrasonography) or the parts(for other disorders, not pelvis and breast for me) and it captures the image(so no direct physical contact), I study and report. A or two family member is always present and the attended is also there for full time.
I always keep my gaze lowered, don't look anything more or less than what area is required, nor go in excess talking with women. Sometimes there is emergency for female patients and I by duty have to attend it(we have divided work load).
Am I sinful for operating on female patients, like ultrasonography or say artery blockage in hand, broken bone or blockage in back?

Assalamualaikum,
I've been constantly experiencing was was in all aspects of worship
(do not read if ur facing the same situation as I ended up mimicking other people's obsessive actions as well)
whether it is my wudhu that I have to redo 3+ more time or doubting the purity of my clothes, my pronunciation ect...
or if I released discharge during prayer (this one always turns out to be false so it easier for me to ignore it ) but there's also mainly if I did one or two sajda. For the later one recording myself praying and then checking made me realize that I've always performed it well everytime.
So can I not even second guess it even tho the doubt is strong and am I allowed to not repeat any Salah regardless of how doubtful am I at least until the waswas is gone? and will Allah hold me accountable for not acting upon anything until it gets better?

Peace be upon you. I dealt with a large company, and they were unfair in some of their dealings. They took more money than the contract stipulated, and I paid them money for services, but they didn't do it, which created for me many problems with my business. They didn't abide by all the terms of the contract. Since they are a large company with lawyers, I couldn't do anything but terminate the contract. They took about $7,000 from me in total.
However, when they paied the final invoice, they made a mistake and overcharged me by $10,000.
Should I inform them of the mistake? Or should I just ignore it since they didn't treat me honestly?
The amout that they give my error is more that what i owe them, but if i signal that to them i will be forced to give back all the 10k
May God bless you.

I didn't find any question regarding baby showers , so I'll first explain what a baby shower is: it is a celebration for a lady during her 5th or 7th month of pregnancy; In this function, bangles were wore to the lady for her full hands (thus we also call it a "bangle function"). I want to know whether Islam allows this function?
I need authentic answer because, now that I'm pregnant, my family people are planning to do so. My intuition is that Islam does not allow this kind of function. But I want proof that this is not allowed from hadith and Sunnah.

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?

Can a day in the Gregorian calendar correspond to two different days in the Islamic Hijri Calendar?
I am developing an application which allows users to convert from Gregorian to Hijri dates and vice-versa.

Furthermore, does the Islamic Hijri calendar run on a standard 24-hour day just like the Gregorian calendar?

If a person owned a dog before he became Muslim, and the dog used to lick him a lot, and the person doesn't remember all the spots on his body where his dog licked him, is ghusl with the intention to remove dog impurity sufficient to get rid of the impurity, or should he wash his whole body seven times and once with soil? Or could just saying the sahada remove the impurity as it is said that once you said sahada and become Muslim, you start anew?

Is it sufficient to rub an impurity under tap water if the stain is still visible afterwards?
I got an impurity on my trousers. I rubbed the place a little under water. Then I used it, but the stain of impurity was still visible, as the area was wet. It touched my skin. Is the trouser impure? Is the area of my body that it touched also impure?

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).

Salaam
I'm a 15 year old girl who goes to an islamic private school. Because of my mum constantly urging me to wear the niqaab I decided to wear it a year back. My older sister also started to wear the niqaab on from a young age and she has had no problems with it.
Recently I've took it back off.This was because of many reasons, some being, I no longer felt like I was doing it for allah. Rather I felt like I was wearing the niqaab to keep up the reputation of my family. To not bring shame to my family which I think is absolutely ridiculous. Also I had no confidence when I was wearing the niqaab. I felt embarrassed and it was just something that I felt attracted more attention than necessary. Not only this I don't think my imaan was at that stage where I could take this huge step in covering my face permanently.
Lately my mum keeps pressuring me to wear the niqaab again.Its come to the point where I despise wanting to wear it. It's not like I dress inappropriately. I wear the abaya or something that substitutes to it for example a long dress. I don't go out alone and I definitely don't have any male friends. Knowing this my mum is practically forcing me to the point where I have refused to go outside.
My mum makes the situation out to be bigger than it is. She asked my dad to tell me and I still stood my ground. My father doesn't do or say much about it which I'm grateful for however my mum expects me to just obey her in this matter. I feel like it's oppression. My mum has stripped me off of my feelings, my own opinions and judgment. Can she really do this to me islamically?
I'm old enough to know what is right and wrong. Wearing the niqaab is a life long decision that is personal. Right now I don't have much of a choice. I know for a fact that I'm probably going to wear it in the end. Not because I want to but because I'm being forced to. Despite this I still want to put effort in to try and get my mum to understand me.
How can I do that?
Is my mum sinning by doing what she is?
I love my parents and I'm not one to disrespect them like this but standing for what I believe in is something I've learned from a young age.

Assalamualaikum I'm a Muslim but I keep having doubts about my religion and I just needed clarification on this. in a Authentic Hadith By Bukhari it said Muhammad Pbuh killed a puppy/or made the dog get out of his house because he was expecting a visit from Angel Gabriel but he didn't come until later and explained he doesn't go in houses/places were there are dogs or pictures of living things. If Allah commanded angel Gabriel to pay a visit to Muhammad why would the angel be bothered by Allahs creation?. I've look for an answer to this question for about a month now searching every website and I couldn't get a valid or concrete response. Why would Allah angels be bothered by his creation so much that they don't want to be in the presence of a dog? Every answer I got was so bad it lowered my faith almost empty to the point where I was gonna leave Islam . I've gotten answers like "it was because angel jibreal was not an angel of god but one of the fallen angels and dogs can sense evil things so if angel jibreal would've walked in his cover would have been blown immediately. " another answer similar to that "Angel Gabriel was a demon , in the bible it says Satan disguises himself as a angel of light and is a very good deceiver" And there's so many more . Please if anyone is active on this website and they see this message please give me an answer as to why this happened.

If I can't afford 50,000 outright, I have other option to buy a vehicle but EMI (paying monthly installments like 2,000(INR))
An equated monthly installment (EMI) is defined by Investopedia as:
> "A fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. Equated monthly installments are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full."
You can read full detail on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equated_monthly_installment) .

Eating with those who are eating and drinking haram

I live in a foster family of non-muslims/ non-mahrams and they eat haram and drink haram and I am a Muslim and they let us eat halal. But there are my two sisters and brother there too.
My question is if I sit with them and eat halal but they are eating haram and drinking haram (I am not eating haram), am I allowed to sit with them, is it haram or halal?
I think that I have heard a hadith about sitting with those who wine is being served to.
And if it is the case that I am not allowed to sit with them when they do that, does it apply to all haram meat (is there a hadith about sitting with those who are 'eating' haram)?
And what should I do if they do not allow me to follow the rulings of Islam?
Could you please quote some hadith with the exact source as well?
