I am a 34 years old unmarried woman with no fall-backs/backups in life. To cut a long story short, my career is also almost in a dumpster. It is sheerly the mercy of Allah that He is keeping me afloat, alhamdoliAllah. So I do feel a lot of anxiety about things. It's a continuous battle where fears and negative thoughts come in my mind, and I consciously tell myself (of course alhamdoliAllah) that Allah is so merciful that He will definitely take care of my and unfold the best plan for me, just like He has taken care of me so far. When I meet people for a few minutes or hours in social gatherings, they give me a lot of unsolicited and superficial advise (which is not even intended at suggesting a solution for the challenges I face, but it is rather talk for the sake of talk), without thinking that if I could solve my problems, I would have done that. My question is that is it OK if I keep telling the people that I have put my trust in Allah and Allah will make the best way out for me, I am sure of it (while in reality I do face anxiety related to these matters)?

I had an argument with a friend who wanted me to logically or with a reference tell him, that if Allah has decided everything for us. E.g, if I pick a glass and put it at another place, if that is decided (as Qur'an says, that our life has been written), then where is the free will because our fate has been decided, i.e., if Allah has given us free will, then how can we say that everything we do in life is already written? In the same context, why do we have angels on our shoulders writing down every thing wrong and good, if Allah knows our intention and already decided our fate even before we were born
Is there any reference or Ayah or Hadith regarding it?

I am a girl and love another girl there is no physical interaction can we live together

I don't know Arabic very well. Our imam in the mosque says "Allahumma Ajirna Minan Naar" and we say "Ameen" to it. Now due to lockdown, I hear to radio more often and I noticed that the Imam in the radio says "Allahumma Ajirni Minan Naar " Is there a difference between the two ? I asked my teacher but she was also confused.She said that the latter is the correct one according to her knowledge. Please explain

What is the authenticity of the following narrative: >“Some of the signs of the Day of Judgment are when: Al-Qayenat and singers, al-Ma-Azef (all kind of music), drinking alcoholic products and the use of silk products by men are made halal". (Tabarani and Bayhaqi) Also, what is the meaning of Al-Qayenat? Unfortunately I was unable to find an Arabic version of this hadith.

My parents are practicing magic to all my family members agree with them except for me and my sister, my father taught others to practice with him and they are making Sihr on me and my sister. The problem is far big we don't have job, and all their food is haram and we don't have other options. Should we starve to death or should eat because there is no way to get halal food?

In Sahih Muslim 1676a, it says > 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community. This means a Muslim can only be killed for three reasons 1) adultery 2) murder 3) apostasy Howeve in Sunan an Nasa’i 5661 it says > It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar and a number of the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ said "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever drinks Khamr, whip him; then if he drinks (again), whip him; then if he drinks (again), whip him; then if he drinks (again), kill him.'" Isn’t that a contradiction?

Quran 23:5-6 says among the qualities of Believers > And who guards their private parts except from their spouses and what > their right hands possess, then surely they are not blameworthy. Quran > 23:5-6 In regards to a slave women who has accepted Islam, shouldn't she also guard her private parts except from her spouse ?

I don’t have any issues with my dad, i want him to be there and all that but I don’t want his consent to get married, or any man’s. I find it incredibly misogynistic, my consent is the only consent that matters. So when i get married can i do it without my father’s or any man’s consent.

I was reading an article in a magazine which quoted a rule from Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani, roughly translated it says: > In the Kitab and Sunnah whenever the word jihad is used without a > restriction added on to it, such as with wealth or with life, the > salaf are fully in agreement that it means war with the sword. I would like a reference (original book etc. by Ibn Hajar) for this if someone can find it.

maternal and paternal uncles aren't mentioned in surah nur verse 31 where it allows a woman to reveal her adornments to certain people. Does she cover in front of her uncles?

We all know that Islam was brought into this world to bring peace and brotherhood in this world but on the other hand from Hadiths and other sources, we know that till the end of times, there will be war and chaos and there will be coming of Imam Mahdi and Prophet Isa and Dajjal as they will come at the end of times when there will be lots of battles and fights. I see this as a contradiction because on the one hand, Islam was brought to bring order to life on Earth, and on the other side we see that till the end of time, there will be battles between people of different religions specifically Jews. This clearly shows that till the end of time, there will be existing non-Muslims and Islam will not be a global religion. Isn't this similar to the fate of Jinns when they used to live on the planet and at the end of their time Allah SWT sent angels to fight them and eradicate them from the planet and then brought Humans on Earth? If that is true, then aren't we the same as Jinns and no better?

Salamu walaikum, I usually pray in my room and the qibla is facing my door, so I usually pray with the door in front of me closed, so that I can focus. iF one opens the door, not knowing, that I was praying, does this nullify my prayer (or break it), because he interrupted me. Jazakallah Khairan.

Assalamualaikum. In the Indian subcontinent, girls/women are discouraged to attend in Salatul Eid? I don't know about the other parts of the world. However, is there any reason behind it? Jajakallah

Assalamu Alaykum. I'm just wondering if it is halal to go up to a girl who I find attractive, tell her she is beautiful and compliment her, and then go on my way? No discussion, I just compliment her. Would it also be alright to give her a small gift? And after the brief encounter, we go on our separate paths. Does this transgress Islamic boundaries? Jazak Allah Khair and may Allah reward you.

I have some questions regarding the story of Safi Ibn Sayyad. It is narrated in: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1354 , we understand that this young boy named Safi ibn Sayyad was accused of possibly being the Dajjal. The rasool (swl) considered this as a mere possibility, yet, I find many discrepancies with this. For starters, at this current time, this boy was from Medina, yet, the rasool (swl) had stated that one of the criteria of the Dajjal's character, is that he cannot enter Mecca or Medina. Secondly, in the following narration: https://sunnah.com/muslim:2920a , we find that the Dajjal will not emerge until the conquering of Constantinople, yet, the rasool (swl) had considered the possibility that Safi ibn Sayyad could have been the Dajjal? Even though he was from Medina, despite the fact Constantinople had not been conquered, wouldn't such criteria immediately disprove the fact that he is the Dajjal? Thirdly, in the following narration: https://sunnah.com/muslim:2942a , we find that a group of former Christians had seen the Dajjal chained down on another island far from Arabia, yet, suspicions were cast on Safi Ibn Sayyad of being the Dajjal? We know that for example, Umar RA and his family swore by Allah that Safi Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal and Umar RA swore in front of the rasool (swl) and he had remained silent, showing that the rasool (swl) felt it may be possible too. Yet, all these findings and signs about the Dajjal completely point out the contrary to Safi ibn Sayyad being the Dajjal. How could it even be possible that the great companions, let alone, the rasool (swl) would even consider this a possibility? Lastly, we have the following narration: https://sunnah.com/muslim:2927c that shows that even after the death of the rasool (swl), the companions had considered this to be a possibility. How is this even possible? So many signs, prophecies, and so fourth completely pointed in an opposite direction towards Safi Ibn Sayyad being the Dajjal, yet, why and how could the rasool (swl) even consider such a possibility? I would appreciate it if someone was able to give a detailed response to all of the questions that have been aroused. This to me feels like an extremely compelling theological problem and I would like to be able to dismiss it somehow.

>A Hadith in Imam Malik's Muwatta Chapter: 27, Faraid 14 states Imam Malik's Muwatta >Yahya related to me from Malik from a reliable source of his who had heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab refused to let anyone inherit from the non-arabs except for one who was born among the arabs." Malik said, "If a pregnant woman comes from the land of the enemy and gives birth in arab land so that he is her (an arab) child, he inherits from her if she dies, and she inherits from him if he dies, by the Book of Allah (al-Muwatta' ) Is this authenic if so can you explain it
