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?

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?

My wife has decided to separate because of reason that has happened is beyond repair. She asked me to get out of the house and I did, I reassured kids I am going to be back as they are still under 10. But my wife has decided to be separate. I am in another city at my relative. She been talking to kids about what happened and how dad is not gonna live with them. I have met them but she is not happy for me to meet like that. I want to know what rights I have on my kids, how can we make sure kids upbringing is co parenting. What goes Islam says about it? This is the second time she told me to get out of the house even I tried to separate the bed once but she won’t leave me alone. She has anger management issues. I wanna know in light of Quran how and what to continue when kids are involved.

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.

My brother works for a car leasing company as a frontend developer, and he has been for 6-months now. Last week he realized something disturbing: there is a riba component to the cars that customers rent. It may be naive of us, but no one in our household was aware of this. Now, he does not actively work with riba related transactions (he doesn't make the contracts, doesn't witness it, and he doesn't do any calculations with riba), he just makes the user interface for the website and mobile app where customers can assemble their car etc. I am worried that his work there is haram because of the riba aspect of car leasing, even when his involvement would be more indirect. And if his work is haram, would it be okay for him to stay with the company while he actively applies to other lawful companies with the intention to leave when he gets the chance? He is still a junior frontend developer so his job options are a bit limited (companies here are mostly searching for medior or senior developers) so it might take him a while to find something else. Would it be okay for him to stay with his current company until he finds something else so he doesn't face a financial loss & he continues gaining more experience so it will also in sha Allah be easier for him to find another job? It is very important to him (and to me as well) that his work is pure and halal. His intentions are to work somewhere lawful so he is very worried and upset right now, so your advice would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, A worried sister

The question asks why a perfect God would want constant praise-does that make Him narcissistic?
The question asks why a perfect God would want constant praise-does that make Him narcissistic? It challenges whether worship reflects God's need for validation or human projections of ego onto the divine.

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.

This is a question which requires some fiqh knowledge. I just want to discuss the fiqh of it, so would prefer, if personal biases are set aside in answering the question. My question is, would it be a correct understanding, Islamically, that when the ruling of a matter is “permissible” in the shariah rather than “Mustahhab” or “Sunnah” one can weigh the pros or cons of that matter and make own personal decision on whether to practice it or not? I ask this specifically in the context of polygamy. If one can think to potential harms polygamy might cause - such as pain to the wife/woman and possibly statistics that point to harms would it be correct to advice against polygamy weighing its pros and cons? For eg drinking energy drinks is permissible but it’s not good for you - so you may discourage it. Just like that would it be islamically fine to discourage polygamy? Would it be different in the case of polygamy because polygamy is explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an? What is in my mind as I think about this issue is verse 1 of Surah tahrim. By the way, for the benefit of this discussion, I am referring to the opinion of those scholars who consider polygamy only permissible and not Sunnah. I understand there are other opinions but that is not what this discussion is about. Like I said I am interested in the fiqh so I would appreciate someone wijt some knowledge of fiqh and for personal biases to be set aside.

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?

As-salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatoh.

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 > is (praying) behind an imam, when the imam has finished his salaam, he > 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 > and second taslim with your imam, but if you say the first taslim > after his first taslim and the second taslim after his second taslim, > there is nothing wrong with that, but it is better not to say the > taslim until after he has said both taslims. End quote. 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.
