Where does it say that any part of hands is left dry during wudu invalidates it
Is it in Quran or authentic hadith that during our ablution/wudu, if we leave any part (even a centimeter) of our hands dry, the wudu becomes invalid or less reward-worthy?

Is it in Quran or authentic hadith that during our ablution/wudu, if we leave any part (even a centimeter) of our hands dry, the wudu becomes invalid or less reward-worthy? If so, please share the verse from Quran and/or authentic hadith reference. I am confused about nailpaint matter. I want to prioritize and follow Allah InshaAllah but also want to look presentable and enjoy, as much as is permissible.

Ruling on masturbation in this case
I know that in Islam it is haram to masturbate, even in case a man cannot marry and in case one cannot marry than he has to resort into fasting, for it diminishes sexual desire.

I know that in Islam it is haram to masturbate, even in case a man cannot marry and in case one cannot marry than he has to resort into fasting, for it diminishes sexual desire. But what if the man in question has huge sexual desire, cannot marry in any way whatsoever and he has DIABETES (he cannot fast because of that)??? Strain: Sunni Creed: Athari Manhaj: Salafi Madhab/jurisprudence followed: generally none , although I'd personally deem the Hanbali one as the best because it was the madhab of Imam al Bukhari, Ibn Taymiyyah and Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab. P.S: I'm not justifying masturbation forcibly in this case, but I want to know whether the "daroorat" issue applies here P.P.S advice to those who engage in it. From my experience, I can tell you that, when I was being accustomed to masturbate thrice a day, it rendered me just numb mentally and psychologically, not making me focus on things properly and moreover it made me forget thinks very quickly and often. It harms more mentally than physically, even though there's a great extent in both aspects. Don't masturbate. Even zina, which is a bigger fa7sha, is physically healthier than masturbation because it can be just anatomically and physically similar to sex between married man and his wife (NOTE: I'm NOT condoning zina in any way shape or form, you'll get what I mean if you're mind bearing) (the physical outcome from sexual intercourse between two healthy people of opposite gender and the marriage counterpart of the latter would be the same)

There's a famous news media here in my country that once posts an article about masturbation. It talked about masturbation is haram according to some scholars (and makruh according to some scholars, or allowed/mubah in some condition). The interesting part is that it says the following (translated to english): "Ibn Abbas (Sahabah) allows masturbation because muslims back then do it when fighting in a war (far from family). Even Mujahid (a student of Ibn Abbas) said that Prophet Muhammad PBUH tolerate it at that time. Mujahid also said that masturbation is not good for health because : ..... " ______ Did they really said that? I also know that Ibn Abbas said that masturbation was better than zina.

Is saying subhanallah when surprised from the sunnah?
I have heard people saying subhanallah when they are surprised by something. Is this practice from the sunnah? If it is from the sunnah, then could you provide some evidence that would prove that it is from the sunnah?

Is Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) part of the family of Ibrahim (PBUH)?
One of my Christian friend and I were discussing about Islam and Christianity. I am not well versed with Prophets and their history.

One of my Christian friend and I were discussing about Islam and Christianity. I am not well versed with Prophets and their history. He told me that in the Bible, it is said that the descendants of Ismail (PBUH), first son of Ibrahim (PBUH), will become a great generation and will deviate from the truth. Hence he believes, we are following a different version of Christianity as per the Bible. He did not tell me the bible verse. May be it is part of the new testament. But I initially thought, Muhammed (PBUH) was not related by blood with other prophets. I did some research and tumbled on this . There are lots of comments there. Some say it is false. Some say it is true. Can any scholar shed some light on this matter?

Did life start from single cell organisms?
Did life start from single cell organisms? I heard somewhere in Quran that Allah created the life from water: "We made from water every living thing".  What about first prophet then? How would this concept be applicable in the creation of the first prophet?

How does muslim creationist explain our malfunctioning Vitamin C encoder in our genes?

Both creationists and evolutionist agree that there is indeed an easy way to differentiate evolution and design. When something is designed, vestigial remains do not exist. We do not have gas cars with remnant of broken coal tanks, for example. Yet we do have genes that can create vitamin C. The genes are broken due to some mutation turning it off. The broken genes and places where it's broken are similar with the places where similar genes are found on other primates, like orang utan, gorilla, and chimps. All those are exactly like predicted by evolution theory long before the facts are known. So what's a Muslim creationist's explanation of this?

i wanted to ask "is there a hadith admonishing to not eat until being hungry?" and i have found this question in "similar questions" block. the answer to that question is enough for me. i wanted to quote a text in my question. since i prepared to write my question, translated the text, using google, i make a new question, though i am not very interested to know out answer to it. in book "kitab at-tarbiya" in tatar language, qayum nasiri writes: > TWENTY-FIRST UPBRINGING One of the kings of Gajam sent a skilled > doctor to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be > upon him). He lived in Arab countries for many years. No one came up > to him, saying, "Heal me." One day he came to the Prophet (peace and > blessings of Allaah be upon him) and complained. "I've been here for > days, and no one has paid attention to me," he said. The Prophet > (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The custom of this > people is that they will not eat anything until they want to eat it, > and they will start to refuse from food before they are full, that is, > they will not eat until they are satiated.” The doctor said, "If > that's the way to heal," then kissed the ground and left. Now, son, > has this story sufficed for your upbringing? Don't eat your stomach > full, you'll be in health, be satisfied with little. the russian version of it says this way: > It is known that one of the Persian kings once sent his best healer to > Arabia to serve the prophet. do you know what is source of this story? i read this book in paper form in past. now, i used https://nsportal.ru/shkola/rodnoy-yazyk-i-literatura/library/2020/02/02/k-nasyyri-trbiya-kitaby where is also russian translation of it.

Does this mean this item we cannot buy? But I have also read that we cannot eat only in items that are made of purely gold so we can eat in item that have some gold pattern? Can anyone clear my confusion?

Assalam alaikum I want to know whether is it alright to read manga or anime with cartoon images in it? Recently I read on a islamqa website that watching a cartoon image is permissiible,see this; Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on cartoons that appear on TV? He replied: With regard to the cartoons which you say appear on TV, if they are in the form of humans, then the ruling on watching them depends on whether they come under the same ruling as realistic human images or not? It is most likely that they do not come under that ruling. If they are not in the form of humans, then there is nothing wrong with watching them, so long as they are not accompanied by anything haraam such as music and so on, and they do not distract from obligatory duties. End quote. Majmoo’ al-Fataawa 2/question no. 333 Also I have read that the rule of a awrah of a woman doesn't apply to cartoon since it is not real and hence we can watch them, see this; Some scholars favored the view that such images do not take the ruling of images of real persons, so they permitted looking at them. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said: “With regard to cartoon images that you mentioned are shown on television, if they are in the shape of a human, then the ruling of looking at them has to be looked at. Are they like a real image or not? The closest opinion to the truth is that they do not look like them (real images). And if they do not have a human shape, then there is nothing wrong with looking at them as long as they are not accompanied by an evil, such as music or the like, and provided that they do not distract one from performing an obligatory act of worship.” Now my question if it is allowed to watch a woman in a cartoon, does that mean we can also see a woman in a cartoon or a 2d image in inappropriate clothing(like Japanese school uniform or skirt long and small) of course provided that no private part are showing. So plz tell me how much awrah of a woman should be exposed and what can we see?

Nowadays, women are attracted to working outside the home. As they are being educated, they don't want to live as a housewife. It is true that some of the women are in need of job, but most of them want to be self-dependent. Sometimes, they even don't care about their husband. So, I want to know what is the husband's role in this case? What is his right? What can women do with and without the permission of her husband?

In this video , Adnan Ibrahim argues against Ijma'. He also quotes Imam Ahmed: > "قال " من ادَّعى الإجماع فقد كذب ، وما يدريه لعل الناس اختلفوا Imam Ahmed said: "The one calling upon ijma' has lied!" The same quote is found here , more context of it: > والإجماع إجماعان ، إجماع ظني وإجماع قطعي ، والأول هو الذي يثبت بالبحث والتحري عن أقوال الأئمة ، ويحتاج من مثبته إلى استقراء لكتب الخلاف ، وهو الذي أنكره الإمام أحمد وقال " من ادَّعى الإجماع فقد كذب ، وما يدريه لعل الناس اختلفوا " . In this video , he denies ijma' to be a part of his methods of usul al fiqh. **Which sunni scholars denied ijma' as a method among the methods in usul al fiqh?** *This question is of course based on another question, did any sunni scholars really deny ijma?* ---------- *Disclaimer: I am not supposing these quotes are proofs too deny ijma', rather it seems some have used them when aruging against ijma'. I know they are possible to be interpreted in another way in its context. Also, it seems to be different interpretations of what exactly is ijma'. And the person denying ijma' isn't necessary denying the matters as five prayers a day and such.*
