I would like to ask for some advice. I am married alhamdulillah but i still live with my family. My family isnt very religious and they didnr want my islamic marriage to happen, i am hanafi and i ended up getting it done due to fear of Allah and that caused major issues with my mom, she wanted me to get a divorce and id now forbidding me from seeing my husband due to fear of us being intimate together. With all that being said its causing major resentment from my husband and mom. My mom wants me to travel with her to the middle east to help her with my brothers treatment due to his autism, her husband ( my parents are divorced) has work and cant travel with her so the obligation is falling on me to travel with her. My husband is telling me he doesnt want me to go travel without a mahram or without him, he also cant travel due to his work. He is saying he doesnt trust that my mom will not put me in a situation where i will be in something he wont like and he told me you can go but im unhappy with this, on the other hand im being called selfish by my mom and is saying that Allah will never give me success and she wont ask me for anything no more. Im stuck in the situation and not knowing what to do. Please advice me.

I'm a girl and I want to be a police officer here in Sweden. But I don't know if I'm allowed to be one because, for example, I have to touch someone if I'm going to arrest them. What if they don't want me to touch them when they're arrested, but I have to because they might be suspects or even guilty? What if I have to touch people who aren't mahrams?

But my question is, why is this preferable to simply emigrating to an already established Islamic state? Doesn't this allow the Muslim to live in an Islamic state as they desire, without having to impose it onto others?

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!

It is commonly believed that if someone leaves Islam, by Sharia law the punishment is death. Is that true?
I have heard some different opinions. Dr. Zakir Naik was once asked a similar question and he responded that the punishment is death only if you tarnish Islam image in public and are publically against it. In that scenario the situation is similar to a revolt against an Army and hence punishment in that case is death.
However, Islam is not an Army but a religion. What is the correct verdict in this regard?

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][1] Narrated `Itban bin Malik: > > We prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to finish our prayer with the > Taslim along with him.

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
> according to al-Buwayti, as was quoted by al-Baghawi. He said: Whoever

> should say salaam to his right and his left. End quote.
>
> 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.

Do minor Sins become major if we do
all time same Sins?
I heard as well there is difference of oppinion in this matter too I mean if there are no minor sins,like all Sins are major Sins and no minor and repeating minor sins turns into a major sin, minor sins lead to major sins, and not considering minor sins a big deal is a major sin, then it sure sounds like every single Muslim will be going to Hell besides these great holy men.
