I have had sex with an innocent girl of my age we both are muslims. I did not have the knowledge of haram and halal while performing the act but now I feel disgusted. She wants me to marry her but my parents are strictly against love marriges.
Question: I want to know if this relationship would be halal if i convince my parents to get us married?
I am afraid if this relationship would become haram as we have already indulged in the sinful act. I am very scared and I do not want to spoil her future. Please guide me in this as I do not want to let her go.

Salam alaikum brothers and sisters,
I am very bored and I fill that boredom by sometimes gaming or by watching videos or by reading Qur'an - you get the point. I used to role-play too in character.ai, but stopped doing that. The role plays I usually did were something in the lines of putting myself inside an already existing storyline, for example Avatar the last airbender. I would put myself as an earthbender or something like that and start a role play based off of that, usually containing a conflict against either the villains or the heroes.
Regardless, I stopped doing it because I feared it wasn't good. I usually came back after a few weeks to full my returning boredom. For people suggesting fasting, I'm already fasting in alternation (1 day yes, 1 day no).
**Anyway, I want to know whether it's haram to role-playing in Character.ai or not, I also want a good explanation in if it's halal or haram with either hadiths or verses of the Qur'an.** Thank you.

Join a brother late to get benefit of fard salaah in congregation
When you come into mosque late for Zuhr, and someone is busy with salah, without you knowing if he is performing Sunnah Zuhr or Fard Zuhr, can you join that person and perform your Fard Zuhr and carry on after he salaam and still get the benefit of congregation (jama'a) salaah?

I do not intend to be a god or whatnot. I just named it because i loved eggs and i just had a lot of them in my pantry. So, I named myself that name. Now, many people are bullying me that it is pure shirk as calling yourself the lord of something is haram and implies you are a god, which is not true. I intended the name to be a joke way, as in king, like a royal member that owns an army of eggs, a commander you could say. Please help me on this!

Why is consummation of a marriage when very young permissible when pregnancy at young age carries high risks and dangers?
https://shamela.ws/book/11430/18980#p1 This link talks about the following: - The Malikis and Shafi'is say that when a minor is able to withstand intercourse this impediment is removed. - The Shafi'is say that if the husband says 'hand her over to me and I will not have intercourse until she is able...
https://shamela.ws/book/11430/18980#p1
This link talks about the following:
- The Malikis and Shafi'is say that when a minor is able to withstand intercourse this impediment is removed.
- The Shafi'is say that if the husband says 'hand her over to me and I will not have intercourse until she is able' even then she will not be handed over to him, even if he is trustworthy. That is because there is no reasonable security from his lust.
Medical research discourages pregnancy at very young ages e.g. 9, 10 and 11. However, Aisha was married at 9, an age considered very young for pregnancy. Scholars tend to focus on the dangers of sexual intercourse rather than pregnancy itself. How can coitus be permissible with a very young girl but the dangers pregnancy which can follow, were not discussed by them?
Regarding the marriage to Aisha, since we have more medical knowledge of the dangers of very young pregnancy, would marrying someone of that very young age be forbidden and objectively wrong today, since the shafis said if you fear harm for her then the hand over cannot happen? I'm asking as angel Gabriel essentially passed the message to marry her from God.
I have seen related Qs on the site but this is a bit different.
Thanks.

I am planning to raise undertake an orphan/poor education project where I will school these kids. Obviously the money required to do so will come from donation. My question is quite simple. Considering the plan that I have I will need to provide my full time effort in raising funds as well as managing the entire execution. I currently have a full-time job, Alhamdulillah. Is it permissible if I keep a part of the money that comes from donation as my salary for the time that I spend.
Please advise.

Asalamualaikum.
My younger brother has been autistic at the age of 2 years old. Me and my family have been trying to teach him about being a Muslim and a normal citizen. But up until now, he's at the age of 16 and he hasn't gain any knowledge or practice of being a normal citizen or a Muslim. But me and my family are all Muslim. Since the time of Ramadan has arrived, I plan to read the Qur'an on his behalf since he cannot read despite the training we've given him over the past years due to his autism. Am I permissible to read Quran on his behalf or no? If not, what else should I do for him?
Jazak Allah Khair.

Assalam o Alaikum!
Recently my father in law passed away, and my wife asked me to be at his grave upon burial on her behalf and recite for some time as reflected from posts about the time taken for camel slaughter.
I did so because of her will as well as I had a very deep good bond with my father in law.
Normally I don't debate over matters I have less knowledge. My friends upon hearing it told me your reciting would not benefit your father in law. I just couldn't accept it as of the basic core of Islam I understand. So I just wanted to ask those with diverse knowledge that being son in law, if I took a part with every single thing in the funeral. Procession and after burying i stayed there for almost 2 hours and recited. Will it benefit my deceased father in law?
JazakAllah

A little bit of context before the question: I were at a restaurant and pretty much every woman there was wearing makeup which is common and I don’t really see it as a bad thing but according to some it is bad. So then I saw that a group of women were wearing hijab and makeup and I was confused.
The main point of the hijab is for modesty but wearing makeup basically takes away the modesty part as makeup just seems to be a form of attracting attention. Is it permissible to wear makeup and wear a hijab or not?

Assalamwalaikum
I am 15 almost 16 year old male. I have a question that I hope is answered. I have started to become a more religious teenager at the start of this year but masturbation is my problem. In my opinion I have a serious addiction because I have the urge to do it every night. I have broken 3 of my fasts this Ramadan because of masturbation. I have heard that it is a sin. I would like to come out of this addiction. If there is anyone that knows how to help me it is much appreciated.

Takfir of people you don't know
Assalamu alaikum!!! My sister is sometimes very much interested in Muslim celebrities. However, some of them celebrate Christmas, Halloween, make jokes about religion and more. Should they be given takfir in this situation or not? And will I become a kafir myself if I don't?
