When I initially encountered this, I assumed the boy was a minor; however, in English 'boy' can also refer to a relatively young man.

Masturbation is Haram in Islam in the Light of Quran and Hadith
Because I am jobless at the age of 28 and I am unmarried, my parents don't think I am ready for marriage. Sometimes I see a girl who just crossed in front of me, or just passes beside me and she is beautiful. After seeing her, I feel as if I could have sex with her. When these thoughts occur, I beco...
Because I am jobless at the age of 28 and I am unmarried, my parents don't think I am ready for marriage. Sometimes I see a girl who just crossed in front of me, or just passes beside me and she is beautiful. After seeing her, I feel as if I could have sex with her. When these thoughts occur, I become erect and I want to fulfill my lust.
I know it can't be possible because it is Haram in Islam to do Zina, at the same time it is also a bitter truth that I want to satisfy myself. In order to not go towards Zina, I try to satisfy myself with masturbation.
In that condition is it Haram?

Is there a point of repenting if we do not regret our sins?
I am a teen and addicted to masturbation and sometimes watching "it" unfortunately. I know it's a sin but I just can't stop or feel guilty. Would Allah still forgive me if I ask?

Why is circumcision required in Islam?
I have read in many places that circumcision hasn't proven to be any helpful to our health and no advantages of it have been found. - Why are we required to get circumcised when we are born? - Are there any Hadith regarding this ruling?

How to respond to "Merry Christmas"?
I know that congratulating non-muslims in their celebrations is not permissible. However, since i'm in a country where many people celebrate it, some people tell me "merry christmas" or whatever they say. **How should I respond without being rude?**

Do the muslimah at the time of prophet qualify as female companions?
Sahabi as explained by majority of scholars is a person who met prophet, accepted Islam and died in the state of Islam. I am hesitant to call the non mahrams, except wives of prophet as female companions. Do all muslim females at the prophets time qualify as sahabi?

What does Islam say about female circumcision?
To make it more clear: Female circumcision is a painful violence against female bodies because it completely annihilates sexual satisfaction and victims will never experience orgasm after this traditional surgery.
Motivation: To find a religious solution to stop it in some Muslim countries. In these countries usually there is no way to stop a wrong traditional practice except you find it is against Islamic rules!
Edit by Sakib Arifin: The claim in the question that "Female circumcision is a painful violence against female bodies because it completely annihilates sexual satisfaction" is not supported by genuine scientific data. There are different levels of FGM which have different effects on females sexuality. Read more about this on Skeptics.SE .

Drops of urine after ablution

As Salam alaikum. I have already asked questions on this topic, but I want to clarify something else. I have prostatitis. And after urinating, you need to wait a few minutes, for example, 5-10 minutes, so that the drops come out. After that time, they don't seem to come out. Everything dries up. And with this one ablution, I do all the prayers, and Imam Shafi'i said that it is necessary to take an ablution for incontinence before each prayer.
It turns out that my prayers are invalid?
And one more thing. It so happens that on my tip of the genital organ after exactly ablution, either water or urine is on the surface.
What to do in such a situation?
It's one thing if a drop comes out by pressing on the head, then it's urine, and it happens that I look after ablution, and there is already water or urine on the surface.
And is it right that after washing I often look and check whether there is urine or not?

What does Islam say about Samson?
I recently saw a trailer about a biblical person named Samson. I have not heard anything similar in the Islamic scriptures. URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSolF3QBVBY Do we reject the story or simply ignore it as the Prophet was silent about it?

How is this hadith understood?

Recorded in Sirah al-Nabawiyyah and Mustadrak al-Hakim :
> I am a black man who is black, foul smelling with an ugly face. If I fight these people until I am killed where will I be. He said "In Paradise". So he fought until he was killed.
> The Messenger of Allah said "Verily Allah has whitened your face, made
> your smell pleasant and increased your wealth.
Al-Qaeda leader Hamad bin Hamoud Al-Tamimi used this hadith as evidence that "blackness" is a disease which can be removed from martyrdom.
How is this hadith/tradition supposed to be understood and what is it's authenticity taking into account the chain and text?

Throughout a persons life we may encounter situations where we have to make choices and we may not be sure of these choices of being Halal or Haram, we may try and apply logic to apply this through religion but some matters are too complicated and not explicitly mentioned in the Quran and even with the help of scholars, they may produce different opinions which really doesn't provide a solution!
Now would a person who has such a doubtful manner and unsure whether this manner will be halal or haram, what should a person do abandon that manner just in case or follow his instincts?
Or would it be best to seeks Allah's help through Dua and Salat Al Istikhara?

I have my money in a bank where you can put your money in a savings account or current account. The bank gives interest every 1 January for both accounts, but current account has lower percentage interest compared to savings account. In Islam, interest/riba is haram,so I contacted the bank and asked if there is any way to avoid the interest but they say no. I could change banks, but I live in Sweden and here there is no Islamic bank, and all banks give interest. All major banks (and maybe all minor banks) in Sweden have introduced 0.25-0.30% interest on current accounts. I know of a small bank that doesn't give interest on current account but I don't know if I can trust them with my money. Can I wait and receive the interest and then donate it, or will I still be punished for it? I don't know what to do and am very afraid that this is not allowed.

Can a Muslim be friends with kafirs?
I have heard that if you make friends with kafirs, you become one of them. Does a simple friendship with a Christian take you out of Islam?
