How should we wash our feet for wudu?
What's the most practical way to wash feet in wudu? In my place, the sink is too high (or perhaps I am too short) which makes it difficult to wash the feet; or is better to use a bucket or tub of water? also, should we dry the feet immediately, because otherwise slippers and floor get wet?

Do Traditionalists of Sunni Islam believe that women are suited for carrying and lifting stuff while men are suited for walking and running?
I feel like I've seen men being allowed to ride on camels, bikes etc but women are restricted from doing it. Also, I feel like women are allowed to carry items like food, babies, or medical items. I also feel like women used to carry injured soldiers physically. As a man, this feels very out of plac...
I feel like I've seen men being allowed to ride on camels, bikes etc but women are restricted from doing it. Also, I feel like women are allowed to carry items like food, babies, or medical items. I also feel like women used to carry injured soldiers physically. As a man, this feels very out of place for something like men and out of place for women. I'd like to know if I have observed correctly and if Imams like Imam Ahmed and Shafi made the same verdicts. I know I am being a little specific but I just feel like maybe I am right.

Is this hadith authentic?
There is a hadith about Umm Hani approaching the Prophet (ﷺ), and she asked him for a good deed that she could do because she had become old and weak.

There is a hadith about Umm Hani approaching the Prophet (ﷺ), and she asked him for a good deed that she could do because she had become old and weak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that if she said Subhanallah 100x, it would be equivalent to freeing 100 slaves from the children of Ismail, and if she said Alhamdullilah 100x, it would be equivalent to sending 100 horses to battle in the way of Allah for jihad, and if she said Allahuakbar 100x, it would be as if you dressed 100 camels to get sacraficed in Hajj.
I can't find much information about the validity of this hadith online, so does anybody know if it is authentic or not?

I know someone who was raised Christian and continues to believe in God, but questions the modern day bible and believes it to have been altered, he also questions the notion of the Trinity, and whether Jesus was simply a human and not is not to be considered the son of God.
My understand is that what defines "Ahlul Kitab" are that they believe in God and believe and follow the guidance of the bible/torah based on them being Christian or Jewish, but in situations where someone questions the modern day version of the bible and believes it to have been altered, is he still considered "Ahlul Kitab"?
Thank you

Is sharing a meme/video on social media that contains shirk because you wanted to share the other parts but not the shirk , kufr?
For example you share a tiktok to your friends but in that tiktok there is shirk in it (ex:someone in the video says oh my fucking god) but you do not approve the shirk part and you share it because of the other parts of the video which you found funny or interesting. This is certainly haram, but i...

Do reverts really need to say the shahadah in arabic?

Islamqa.info tells the shahadah can be ***affirmed in its meaning***.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/239026
The following are instances in Quran & sunni corpus where people attained Islam with a testimony which is different to the standard one.
1. The magicians of firaun said ***"We believe in the Rabb of Musa and harun"*** Quran 20:70
2. The people of ditch, ashabul aqdood said ***"We believe in the Rabb of this young man"***
[Muslim 3005]
3. Zaid bin amr bin nufayl said ***"O Allah bear witness I'm upon the religion of Ibrahim "***
[Bukhari 3827]
4. Waraqah bin nawfal affirmed that the angel which brought revelation to prophet is called namoos and ***he would support him if he was alive in future*** [bukhari 3392]
There is ijma that all above became muslims and waraqah became a companion by that statement of his as per some scholarly opinions.
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/182441/was-waraqah-ibn-nawfal-a-companion
Since the magicians of firaun didnt speak Arabic, it can be construed that they said the testimony with a identical wording in a different language.
So the question is can reverts whose language is not Arabic can say something similar to ***"I believe in deity of muhammad"*** or ***"I believe in deity of muslims"*** to validate to muslims that they follow Islam now?
PS: it will ease difficulty of non Arabic speaking reverts, to say the testimony, since Islam is easy [ bukhari 39]

Ghusl and ingrown toenails

Both of my toes have mild ingrown toenails as the nails are curved but they don't penetrate the flesh. However, when doing ghusl or wudu water does not reach those parts of the skin covered by the curved nails. What should I do? I've tried to make sure that water reaches those parts but I remain uncertain.
Have my ghusl and wudu (and ultimately salat) been invalid? I've been thinking of going to a doctor to remove the nails once and for all.

I am trying to find the source for this? Where is the source that gave these amount of degrees?
I am also wondering about the Shia tradition for the Maghrib prayer which is when the redness disappears from the Eatern sky, do we know how many degrees the sun is at this point?

Does Al-Bukhari 3508 hadith contradicts the Qur'an Honourable?
Sahih Al-Bukhari 3508: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If somebody claims to be the son of any other than his real father knowingly, he but disbelieves in Allah, and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire." I find the second p...
Sahih Al-Bukhari 3508:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If somebody claims to be the son of any other than his real father knowingly, he but disbelieves in Allah, and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."
I find the second part problematic:
*"and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."*
In the Qur'an Kerim, it states clearly:
**"Indeed, We have dignified the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, granted them good and lawful provisions, and privileged them far above many of Our creatures."**
Qur'an Kerim 17:70
Further a hadith confirms this:
*“Verily, **Allah has removed from you the pride of the time of ignorance, with its boasting of ancestors,** for one can only be a righteous believer or a miserable evildoer. All of the people are the children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust.”*
- Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3955
(Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani.)
According to this Qur'an Kerim Ayah and the Al-Tirmidhi hadith:
You, me, all of us are Children of The Prophet Adam SAWS or 'Children of Adam' which means:
I can clearly claim to be of any ethnicity: Arab, Chinese, Kurdish, Turkish, European, Malawi etc. because **we are all One Tribe.**
And who knows except Allah SWT who was yours or mine ancestor millennia ago.
Also, there is a reason that all of us, Muslims and all others are called Brothers and Sisters in Humanity for a reason.
Most probably our ethnicities changed through ancestry and time.
So,
*"and if somebody claims to belong to some folk to whom he does not belong, let such a person take his place in the (Hell) Fire."*
This part of that first hadith seems problematic since it clearly contradicts Qur'an Honourable in this aspect.
And rejecting Qur'an Kerim is also an Act of Kufr.
Since I'm kind of puzzled with this, could you resolve this question for me.
Thanks and Selam,
Emir

Does کَوکَب mean star or planet in the holy Quran?
In [this][1] Iranian website it is stated that the word کَوکَب means star in the holy Quran: > (فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَیْهِ اللَّیْلُ رَای کَوْکَباً) «چون شب او را فرا گرفت ستارهای دید.» Surat al-An'am, verse 6. Translation of the Persian translation (pardon me please if a little incorrect)...
In this Iranian website it is stated that the word کَوکَب means star in the holy Quran:
> (فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَیْهِ اللَّیْلُ رَای کَوْکَباً) «چون شب او را فرا گرفت ستارهای دید.» Surat al-An'am, verse 6.
Translation of the Persian translation (pardon me please if a little incorrect): When the night cast on him, he saw a star.
But doesn't star translate to نَجم and اَختَر in Arabic? We have also verses that contain نَجم with the meaning of star:
> (وَ النَّجْمِ اِذا هَوی) قسم به ستاره آن زمان که فرود می آید (Swear to star, when it comes down) Surat al-Najm, verse 1.
I also searched for مِرّیخ in Arabic Wikipedia :
> المِرِّيخ أو الكوكب الأحمر هو الكوكب الرابع من حيث البعد عن الشمس في النظام الشمسي...
Ttanslation: Mars or the red planet is the fourth planet in the aspect of distance from the Sun in the solar system...
کَوکَب clearly means planet here.
I am confused. Does کَوکَب mean star or planet in the holy Quran? Maybe it meant star at the time of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)?
But there is also a Quran verse (in the surah al-Yusuf) that کَوکَب sounds planet to me in!
> اِذ قالَ یوسُفُ لِأبیهِ یا اَبَتی إنّی رَأیتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ کَوکَبا وَالشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ رَأیتُهُم لی ساجِدین
Translation: When Joseph told his father: "oh father, I saw (in my dream) that eleven planets(?) and the Sun and the Moon were bowing down to me".
I can't think کَوکَب means star here! Because the Sun is a star itself and also, it's always the planets that come after the Sun. The verse also calls the Moon.

Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
My friend and I are planning to invest in cryptocurrency leveraged tokens, specifically BTC, ETH, and Solana, using a DeFi platform called TLX. You can find more information on their website . However, we are uncertain whether this investment is halal or haram.
We have conducted thorough research on the leveraged tokens available on the TLX platform through various sources, including official documentation, ChatGPT, and Islamic finance forums. Our findings suggest that these tokens do not involve riba (compounding interest), unlike those offered by other DeFi platforms such as Toros . Toros creates leverage by borrowing additional assets, resulting in leverage token owners paying interest on the borrowed amount, which is haram. We are avoiding the Toros platform for this reason.
On the other hand, TLX leveraged tokens derive their leverage through synthetic futures from the Synthetix platform, rather than through borrowing or lending (as it is the case with Toros). Synthetic futures mimic the behavior of traditional futures without necessitating ownership of the underlying asset. They are constructed using financial instruments like options or swaps to replicate the price movements and payoff structures of conventional futures contracts.
Unlike traditional futures that require funding fees to align with the spot market, synthetic futures eliminate this need due to their specific expiration dates and settlement terms. This distinction is crucial, as it addresses any potential concerns about the permissibility of funding fees under Islamic law.
Regarding the fee structure of the TLX platform:
- Streaming Fee: The 2% streaming fee covers the costs related to maintaining the leveraged token. Since it is not tied to riba, it appears permissible.
- Rebalancing Fee: Currently set to zero, this fee may be introduced to cover actual rebalancing costs in the future. As it is designed to cover costs rather than generate profit through interest, it seems permissible.
- Redemption Fee: This fee compensates for the service of redeeming the leveraged token, making it a service-based fee rather than interest, and thus permissible.
As far as we know, generally, service-based fees are acceptable in Islamic finance if they are transparent and justified by the provided services. Based on our research, the fees associated with TLX leveraged tokens are clearly defined and service-oriented. There is no compounding or standard interest, and no requirement for staking assets, indicating no involvement with interest-based profit generation.
In summary, the fee structure appears well-aligned with Shariah law. Fahim and I believe this is pointing in a good direction, though we seek your expert opinion to conclude our findings.
**With the provided information, do you consider the leveraged tokens on TLX to be permissible under Islamic principles?**
Thank you for your time and guidance.
