Salaam alaikum, I received a gift from my land lady today...some freshly baked cookies for the holidays! I was coincidentally doing a lot of thinking this week on whether or not alcohol evaporates when baked and after a lot of research I learned that alcohol will not dissolve in a hot oven. I read 10-15 articles but here is one excerpt that gets the point across: > "The longer you cook, the more alcohol cooks out, but you have to cook > food for about 3 hours to fully erase all traces of alcohol. A study > from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Data lab confirmed > this and added that food baked or simmered in alcohol for 15 minutes > still retains 40 percent of the alcohol. After an hour of cooking, 25 > percent of the alcohol remains, and even after two and a half hours > there's still 5 percent of it. In fact, some cooking methods are less > effective at removing alcohol than simply letting food stand out > overnight uncovered." Source: https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/packages/food-network-essentials/cooking-wine-does-alcohol-burn-off#:~:text=The%20longer%20you%20cook%2C%20the,40%20percent%20of%20the%20alcohol . I can ask what the ingredients were in these cookies and I will do that. But let's assume that she used vanilla extract and that means that technically...these cookies have alcohol in them. What is the permissibility of throwing this bag of cookies away? Now that I know they're alcoholic (even if they don't taste as such) I can't give them to someone else. That would mean I knowingly shared alcohol with another person (whether a kafir or not). Subhan Allah this gets more complicated now. Today I also walked past a homeless person who asked me for money. I was worried he'd buy drugs so instead I went out and bought him a non halal chicken burrito instead. We have no Halal restaurants where I live, but I didn't want to risk ignoring someone in need. As I sat there, waiting for that burrito to be made, I wondered if I was sinning but eventually I thought of it as the lesser of two evils. Perhaps I should have bought him something vegetarian instead but I also worried he was malnourished and chicken seemed like a better option for his health. Is it permissible in that example to provide someone with non-halal food? If not, what's the best thing I could have done as a believer? Jazak Allah Khair.

Good afternoon to all participants. Please tell me, are there any verses in the Quran that speak about conscience? Does the word "conscience" occur in the text of the Quran? If so, what etymological meaning does this Arabic word have? P.s. I am reflecting on conscience, I would like to know what the text of the Quran and Hadith says about it.

Is the marriage of a child of blood with his adopted sister and / or the marriage between a daughter of blood and his adopted brother lawful? And in the case of a man adopted from a family and a woman adopted from another family by the same parents, would the marriage between these two siblings be lawful?

What is ruling about the obedience of the husband in things that are general or recommended or permitted (mubah)? Do all these actions come under one rule? In the case of when doing something halal, the wife can do it or not is upon the husband's will. And she has to obey every halal order of him of which she is capable. And does she need to seek permission to do something(halal) of her own at home? Can he prevent that? Please provide your answer with references.

In Sahih Al Bukhari there are three ahadith that follow one another. Each of them states a different number of times that ablution should be performed as follows: **Volume 1, Book 4, Number 159** >The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts only once. **Volume 1, Book 4, Number 160** >The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts twice. **Volume 1, Book 4, Number 161** >(the slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearrlns up to the elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Apostle said 'If anyone Performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' "... Do these ahadith contradict or is there abrogation here?

Islam has a law whereby false accusation of adultery is punished: > Those who accuse chaste women ˹of adultery˺ and fail to produce four > witnesses, give them eighty lashes ˹each˺. And do not ever accept any > testimony from them—for they are indeed the rebellious https://quran.com/24/4 Does this law also apply to non-Muslims living under Shariah law?

Can a person male who had muttah with a woman after ending muttah marry make permenant nikkah with her adoptive daughter (not real daughter)?

I repeated a joke of a Muslim joking with a passenger on a plane to scare him saying Allah Akbarnow I feel like it was prohibited do I renew my shahada or just continue to ask for forgiveness

> O you who have believed, when you [wish to] privately consult the Messenger, present before your consultation a charity. That is better for you and purer. But if you find not [the means] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful. [Quran 58:12] The above verse is said to be abrogated by the next verse after an hour of revelation - > Have you feared to present before your consultation charities? Then when you do not and Allāh has forgiven you, then [at least] establish prayer and give zakāh and obey Allāh and His Messenger. And Allāh is Aware of what you do. [Quran 58:13] From the abridged translation of Tafsir Ibn Kathir - > Sa\id bin Abi \Arubah reported from Qatadah and Muqatil bin Hayyan, > > > "People kept questioning Allah's Messenger until they made things > difficult for him. Allah provided a way to stop their behavior by this > Ayah. One of them would need to speak to Allah's Prophet about a real > matter, but could not do so until he gave in charity. This became hard > on people and Allah sent down relief from this requirement afterwards, > > > فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ > > > But if you find not, then verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most > Merciful)." > Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Mujahid said that Ali said, > > > "No one except me implemented this Ayah, until it was abrogated," > > > and he was reported to have said that it remained in effect for merely > an hour What is the divine wisdom here? Didn't Allah know that people would not accept the ruling easily? Also, I have heard many dayis say that the wisdom of abrogation is - the people would find it difficult to give up their pre Islamic practices suddenly so it provides a way to gradually ease them into the ultimate ruling (e. g. Alcohol, fasting). But that reasoning doesn't apply here. Finally, doesn't this contradict the following ayah, because this doesn't bring anything better or similar - > We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We > bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know > that Allāh is over all things competent? [Quran 2:106]

I am working in MNC software company. Over here all employees, mostly non-Muslims, wish each other with *"Good morning"* and *"Good night"*. And during special festival with *"Happy Holi"*, *"Happy Diwali"* etc. So, is this allowed in Islam? Can we wish them during ordinary days and during festivals? Are there any alternatives to wishing them with *"Good morning"* and *"Good night"*? **EDIT** Thanks Everyone, i got answer for secular greetings (good morning), that we can wish them, But can we wish religious greetings (happy diwali , happy holi,...) ? ---------- **Final EDIT** Thanks everyone.. I Got answers of my questions. Yes, We can greet non-muslims with Good Morning or Good Night. But, **We can not wish non-muslims to on their Religious Festival.** Reference: Fatawa Mahmoodiya 19/567, Kitabul Fatawa 1/304 http://masaail.com/diwali-aur-un-ke-naye-saal-ki-mubarakbadi-dena/

Assalamu Alaykum, recently I received an offer from a company that develops a software where users can buy stocks from different companies. After buying stock their stock will be saved to their pension account and they can only use their stock when they retire. Of course, in that app we develop, there will be some halal stocks alongside haram ones.So in this case is it permissible for me to work there? My role in that company, will be developing and maintaining and app for stock buyers.

Salam, How Allah prescribed zulkarnain means 'the posesser of two age (qarn-ain) alternatively karn, and qarn can also means horn but I prefer age because when Allah talk about him Allah mention time along-side-with-it. So I do have this question, could it be possible that Jesus is actually him because in surah al-kahf Allah do mention about 'people of the cave' that connected to our time in term of protection of imaan.

Is there a correct way to perform dua after salaah? I have been told that, if you do not mention the prophet of Islam in your dua's, your dua does not get accepted apparently. I'm Not sure if this is true or not. So my question basically is, is there a structured way to offer a dua with certain outlined dua's which should be recited after salaah? I am looking for the Sunni > Hanafi > Deobandi view point.

Someone was talking about Surah 3:65-3:67 and he says how the Quran be the word if god if allah that why do the Christian’s and Jews dispute about Abraham even though their scriptures came after his time. he says that Quran is also after Abraham’s time so how can he say that even though the Quran is after Abraham?, he says that argument is so dumb that the Quran cannot be from god

There is a saying attributed to the Prophet during the Battle of Uhud: >  فتى إلا علي لا سيف إلا ذو الفقار‎ لا > > 'There is no hero like Ali; There is no sword like Dhu-l-Fiqar' Now the Shia say it was said by archangel Jibril/a voice on the battlefield etc (something along those lines, correct me if I'm wrong). My question is what is the Sunni view on the authenticity of this quote, because the Ottoman Janissaries had this quote on their flags and they were Sunni. Also is it permissible to wear a zulfiqar (for a Sunni)? Not trying to mimic the Shia or Alevi.

[Slavery is acknowledged as lawful in fiqh.](https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/26399/17702) However, there seem to be certain limits of what the owner can do to his slave. I haven't seen a description of what the legal rights of an owner over his slaves (apart from possibly a right of the owner to have sex with his unmarried female slaves) are. In particular: What are the limits on the use of force to make a slave compliant, and what are the legal consequences for transgressing them?

Assalamu alaikum, Numerous sources online highlight the miraculous nature of the Quran using the numbers of surahs and verses. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4CpelztAeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvPsclOsm1I However, for some surahs, the number of verses in the surah was not specified, and the way the surah was divided into verses was not specified. Therefore, there are different ways to count verses. https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/27464/55357 https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/64451/why-are-the-number-of-verses-different-in-warsh-and-hafs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfCiv78doaY&t=211s In addition to that, the ordering of the surahs in the Quran was not specified by the prophet (pbuh), rather it was a decision made by the companions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n281Zyywyn4&t=171s Overall, the verse and surah numbers don't seem to be explicitly divinely assigned, yet the ordering and numbering of surahs and verses (specifically Hafs style/Kufi count) suggests many compelling miracles. I don't know how this can be explained...

What is the specific Hadith number of a Hadith from Ahmad which spoke about people traveling long distances in short spans of time?

I’m wondering what forms of Islam practice this, and in what regions it is most prevalent. I’m also wondering what its understood significance/ purpose is, as well as how it is practised: what age should the subject be, do they have a say in the matter, allowed/typically given anaesthesia, etc.?
