So my wife and I are recent reverts, however my wife's family do not know she is Muslim yet because my wife does not feel ready to tell them just yet as her family are more spiritual rather than religious. Yesterday we had a family gathering with my wife's family and her aunt brought out and was using tarot cards on everyone in the room for fun including myself. I never looked into tarot cards so I wasn't too sure if it was haram, but it did not feel like something Allah would be pleased about. So my wife's aunt done a tarot card reading on me but honestly it sounds very generic and I did not take any of it seriously as I seek Allah for guidance not these man made cards. Obviously my wife's aunt is not a real fortune teller but after going online it said if you go to a fortune teller or palm reader then your prayer would be invalid for 40 nights. These tarot cards did not say anything negative, if anything it just said things like 'trust in yourself' 'trust your partner' 'be one with nature and the universe'. Where I believe trusting in Allah alone is sufficient and everything in those cards don't mean anything to me. I just wanted to check if I unintentionally commited a major sin? And if my prayer is invalid for 40 nights? If I seek repentances and seek forgiveness from Allah my prayers would still be invalid?

I try to boycott most of the products that support israel but not all, am i sinful for not boycotting and what kind of haram is it, do i take the rights of the palestinian people?

Imam Al-Nawawi, in his *Minhaj at-Talibin,* writes: > A person suffering from hunger who finds a corpse, and at the same time eatables not forbidden but belonging to another, should, according to our school, eat the corpse, rather then take the eatables that do not belong to him. This translation is bothersome because it at first appears as though he is speaking about human corpses. Within proper context however, it is clear he is speaking about animal corpses, i.e. carrion. However, this got me thinking about such a situation: in cases of absolute necessity, is it better to eat human corpses than to steal? We know that in cases of necessity, the *haram* becomes *halal.* However, this ruling is confusing, because it is not as though everything that is haram automatically becomes halal; some things become *halal,* and other things stay *haram.* Al-Nawawi makes it clear that eating unlawful food is a lesser sin than stealing property. This seems to prove the existence of a hierarchy of sins, in which eating unlawful food ranks as a better deed than stealing someone’s property. Is there a full hierarchy of sins? If so, where can I find it?

Al salam alykum, i wanted to ask: If you and a friend struggle from a haram addiction (may got forgive us) and both want to stop. Is it halal to make a wager on who can go the longer without doing this sin?

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.

I am a proud-to-be Muslim (which means I believe in Islam), and I recently had a lucid dream, and I have always wanted to see porn in there (because normal porn is haram). I was clapping a woman there. I did not wake up until 10 seconds or so. So the point is was that haram?

or is there something else that is opposite or similar to it... From all the teachings i have received the rule I'd say is Islamic is do what's the best. Basically people change so labelling someone as sinner may make us overlook his/her good parts and overlook their change if it occurs. Please provide hadiths/Quran if possible

Has it ever reckoned upon the Ahle Sunnah as to realistically how many people can be spiritually good or bad (not just believing or disbelieving). Since Allah has created the world to test, was there a chance that all humans, according to their free will, might have done so bad that Allah would have put all of them in Hell, aside from the Prophets and their companions. I'm mainly talking about the last Ummah because that is what is emperical directly. So is it mentioned that Allah would have created a balance by creating people with forced good intentions or rather all humans could have ended up as sinners?

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.

When I was younger I accused a Christian girl in my class for kissing another girl even though I didn't see her do it, and she got in trouble for it. I don't know if they believed her when she said she didn't do it or not and I don't know how it and if it effected her. I grew up and now I feel so horrible for that and I want to apologize to her but the thing is that she left the school and I also changed school and now I have no idea where she is and I can't apologize to her. What do I do? Should I ask for forgiveness or will I not be forgiven at all? Or should I make dua for her? Because one of the major sins is accusing a chaste woman of Zina and I did that when I had no idea and I regret it now I'm also worried if I have caused problems in her family because of this

I've been trying to research but haven't come across a trusted answer, i really like drawing and i love anime and like drawing it, i would like to ask if its permissible to draw anime characters without the intention of worshipping, idolising, recreating Allah's creations and basically just without bad and haram intentions, heres some examples.

So i want to know if drawing a character with no nose and fingers and drawing a simple body structure like shown in the first photo , many says that it fine to draw and if the details of the eyes and body is not to details or looks humans is also fine i want to make sure i don't start drawing and regreted later on . And for the context of the image they are like gingerbread man but with different flavor .

I have committed major sins in the past but now want to achive forgiveness please tell me is there any zikr that can help me from erasing major sins? I will also do tauba

I watched a video (I can't remember where I watched it) that says exchanging two different things of different prices is riba (interest) as per Islam, and it was told by the Prophet (Peace be upon him). I'll give some examples. 1. I give two $500 worth of phones to my friend and gain a laptop that is worth $1000. 2. I give two $500 worth of phones to my friend and gain a laptop that is worth $1500. 3. I create a mobile app worth $1000 and get a $1000 worth of laptop. 4. I create a mobile app worth $1200 and get a $1000 worth of laptop. How and when will these scenarios come under riba (interest) or not?

Some non-muslims kept asking me if I did a certain sin, and were accusing me of doing so when I dodged the question, I said I did it accidentally, and then later explained that I did something permissible (but that permissible thing kinda looks like/could lead to the haram thing or could be mistaken for it), is this sinful, and am I sinful for such? (I didn't realize until after I said such that it could be sinful).

Perhaps a scientist who combines machine technology with human life to achieve an immortal life? Is that haram?

I am 18 years old and I have very fast growth of body hair. I wanna shave my arm hair and hair on my hands because personally I don’t think it looks good and I feel more comfortable without it. But my family especially my hyper masculine brother and father think that it’s haram for men to remove arm hair or leg hair what should I do?

I have been fantasizing about my mother and sister since I was 17. Now I'm 25 and I still turned-on when I have such feelings. It is really the only thing that makes me happy. I'm not willing to act upon my feelings. These are just thoughts in my mind that really makes me relaxed while masturbating. They are just fantasies. I'm not harming anybody. Is it haram?

Do Muslims get more sins for doing haram acts than non-Muslims as they are aware that it's wrong and shouldn't be done?
