Can I shower after Ghusl?
Aoa! If I go into the shower with intention of doing Ghusl-e-Janaabat, and wash my head and neck, and rinse mouth and nose, then wash right side of the body, and then the left side; after this if I take a shower with soap without getting out or anything, will my Ghusl be valid i.e., will I be Junub...
Aoa!
If I go into the shower with intention of doing Ghusl-e-Janaabat, and wash my head and neck, and rinse mouth and nose, then wash right side of the body, and then the left side; after this if I take a shower with soap without getting out or anything, will my Ghusl be valid i.e., will I be Junub after getting out of the shower or not?
Also, is it obligatory to not face even 45° in the direction of Ka'bah during Ghusl? Because my shower place is built such that I face Ka'bah while showering but I try to turn myself away as much as I can, so will my Ghusl be valid in this case?
Thank you!

Umar's (ra) statement regarding Ansari women
In certain hadiths (such as [this one][1]) Umar (ra) made this statement, >"We, the people of Quraish, used to have authority over women, but when we came to live with the Ansar, we noticed that the Ansari women had the upper hand over their men, so our women started acquiring the habits of the Ansa...
In certain hadiths (such as this one ) Umar (ra) made this statement,
>"We, the people of Quraish, used to have authority over women, but when we came to live with the Ansar, we noticed that the Ansari women had the upper hand over their men, so our women started acquiring the habits of the Ansari women."
What I'd like to know is if Umar was actually saying that Ansari women were heads of the household and that men had a subservient relationship to them, or if this was merely hyperbole (an overexaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally) and Umar (ra) just said that because he was unused to seeing women have as much say as Ansari women in matters pertaining to the household even if the authority of Ansari women was still significantly less than the men's.

My dad has made a separate family group chat on WhatsApp dedicated to us completing the quran collectively. There are 5 of us in the group chat and we are tasked with completing 6 chapters of the quran each and then collectively we would have completed the recitation of the quran.
We are given a timescale to complete this in too, such as a month or two and then the practice is repeated.
We are also told that this isn't the only recitation of the quran we should be doing, we should be doing our own too.
Is there anything wrong with this practice?

Using the word „God“ in poems?
I wrote some poems in German about religious issues and about other topics like friendship. I try to give the poems a good message and I also praise Allah (in German). Is writing poems permissible at all? And can I use the word „Gott“, which is the German equivalent to the word „God“?

I Do Not Put Water Into My Nose While Performing Ghusl, So Is My Ghusl Valid?
I have read somewhere that if a person does not rinse his nose but pours water all over his body to the extent that no part of his body is left dry, then such kind of Ghusl is valid, according to the Shaf'i fiqh. However, I am not sure. I do not rinse my nose for the fear of Naegleria Fowleri amoeba...

CAN I DRAW A SKULL?
I am wondering if drawing skeletons or skulls is prohibited in Islam? Since I've been told drawing things that contain human life, such as portraits, are prohibited. Although skulls don't have life and drawing skills are a necessity in my GCSE an A level's.

But since the Qur'an is uncreated and eternal, would this not mean that the Qur'an possesses properties unique to Allah? And are there any resources on this topic? Thanks!

Can I adjust her monthly rent from the amount of zakat which I have to pay?
As she pays me $500 for monthly rent and I have to pay $2500 zakat if I don't take rent for this month, can I consider that I have paid $500 zakat? I don't want to share with her that I have adjusted her rent from zakat money. Is it acceptable?
