Whenever I do ghusl or wudu My feet and my hands and private parts get wet(as sunnah). Then when i start purifying(wudu or ghusl) myself I can find *itminan*(certainty) that I have washed the part completely.
1. My First Solution was to drying parts and and dipping parts that I can't was in a water container(like feet because floor is wet). But it takes significant amount of time (10-15 minutes).
2. My Second solution was to rub every such part with soap, the soap also gave an indicator how much i've washed.But its also time consuming.
**I just wanted to ask how do you deal with this problem? And how do i do this when I am in a public bathroom without soap and towel?**
Kindly Share What Allah Has Given You!

Changing eye color by lessening the amount of melanin in eyes and not by surgery

My friend, who has naturally dark brown eyes, wants to change her eye color. She doesn't want to get surgery. She's considering using eye drops that with regular use lessen the amount of melanin in eyes and permanently change their color. She has to keep using the drops for the color to remain. If she stops using the drops, the dark brown color returns.
**Question:** As women are lightening the melanin in their skin and hair and that's not considered wrong, if my friend does the same to her eyes, would this be wrong?

15When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes. 16Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. 17And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” 19Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. 20And God was with the boy, and he grew up...ESV
However in Genesis 17:25 when Ishmael was circumcised (3 chapters before), it says he was 13 years old:
And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.ESV
Was Ishmael a teenager when he and Hagar were sent away by Sarah? Or was Ishmael a child?

Is the hadith of Aisha RA that she used to veil her face while in ihram sahih?
As salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuhu, ‘Aishah narrated (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when they drew near to us we would lower our jilbabs from our heads...
As salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuhu,
‘Aishah narrated (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when they drew near to us we would lower our jilbabs from our heads over our faces, then when they had passed we would uncover them again. (Narrated by Abu Dawud, 1833; Ibn Majah, 2935; classed as sahih by Ibn Khuzaymah (4,203) and by al-Albani in Kitab Jilbab al-Marah al-Muslimah) But this was marked as daif by Shaykh Albani (The following hadith is listed as "Da’if (Darussalam)" (weak) at sunnah.com but others have graded it as sahih)
Could you clarify?
I'm not sure what to make of these two conflicting classifications.
Question: Is this hadith sahih?

I need help regarding a supposed historical “error”. It is claimed that chain mail armor was produced and utilised by Prophet Dawud AS. The Prophet AS is said to have lived in the 10th century BCE while chain-mail armor was not invented until the 5th century BCE by the Celts. You can read the tafsir of the verse by ibn Kathir along with others [here](https://quranx.com/tafsirs/34.11) .
The word in question is ٱلسَّرْدِ (al-sard) which commentators including ibn Abbas RA had interpreted to mean coats made of rings. It is here where the confusion arises. Is this interpretation attributed to the Prophet SAW? If that's the case would it prove the critics' point?

Was Adam created by Allah by his hands?
There are several ahadith which mention 4 things were created by Allah by his hands which also include Adam and for the rest He only said "Be". Are these authentic? If so then how can we reconcile it with quran 3:59 which specifically mentions that Adam was too created through "Be"?

> He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
Is shaitan referring to the resurrection of humanity on Day of Judgement? If so, did he already know Allah's plan to send Adam (AS) to earth, spread humanity, etc.?
If not, was he referring to life that had already passed away? If so, what life was he referring to?

Regarding the word 'Unzurna'
السلام عليكم In surah An-Nisa, ayat 46 it says: >مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍۢ وَرَٰعِنَا لَيًّۢا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًۭا فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۚ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ وَٱ...
السلام عليكم
In surah An-Nisa, ayat 46 it says:
>مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍۢ وَرَٰعِنَا لَيًّۢا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًۭا فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۚ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ وَٱنظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًۭا لَّهُمْ وَأَقْوَمَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭاا
"Some Jews take words out of context and say, “We listen and we disobey,” “Hear! May you never hear,” and “Râ’ina!” [Herd us!]—playing with words and discrediting the faith. Had they said ˹courteously˺, “We hear and obey,” “Listen to us,” and “Unẓurna,” [Tend to us!] it would have been better for them and more proper. Allah has condemned them for their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few."
Why is Ra'ina replaced by Unzurna because some of the Jews meant Ra'ina sarcastically with the meaning "Listen,
may you become deaf"? They could use some kind of playful, ambiguous connotation to Unzurna as well. Just like in every language I believe you can give every word a negative connotation or positive whether you may like it or not.
