Is it permissible to greet inside the mosque or not? Is it not a sin?

Is homosexuality or bisexuality allowed for women?
When the Quran forbids homosexuality, it only addresses men, not women. Speaking of which, when the Quran permits polygamy to men, it only addresses men. Now, both of the verses only address men yet polygamy is forbidden to women but homosexuality/bisexuality is not permitted to women. Why is that?

1) But can everyone who is said to go to hell according to Islam be considered/assumed to be a Kafir?
1) Also, do non-Kafirs go to hell?
For example there are many verse saying that idolators are destined for hell.
**In some cases some group/category people may be said to be destined for hell and one might not find verses confirming they are kaffirs.**
**In the above case, can it be assumed that all people mentioned to be destined for hell in these verses are kaffirs?**

I am a 23-year old boy and doing a good job in capital of Pakistan. We are only 3 brothers, no sister (reason to tell is there no responsibility of her marriage). I am eldest of all, we are a upper-middle class family.
Different people have different kinds of minds, and to be honest I am desperate for marriage because it is my need. I can afford my marriage on my own but my parents do not allow it.
I never committed zina in my life, but at this stage of my life it seems I will do someday (may Allah prevent me). What does Islam says in such conditions?
If I commit zina, will I be sinful? And what about my parents? Will they be too?

Does alliance with disbelievers expel you from Islam?

Do they mean that whoever does this *literally* becomes a disbeliever and is expunged from Islam? Or does it mean that this action is very grievous but not real kufr?

Explanation of the Quranic Surah 67 verse 34
In the verse of chapter 67, verses 3-4. What would be the TRUE interpretation of the "7 heavens being stacked one above the other".

In the verse of chapter 67, verses 3-4. What would be the TRUE interpretation of the "7 heavens being stacked one above the other". Furthermore, in order to actually understand the stacking of the heavens, one must understand what "heaven" really mean physically. Also when Allah (SWT) in this verse talks about "where you see no flaw in the creation of the Most Merciful" here the word "flaw", I have read to be synonymous to inconsistency/un-uniformity/ asymmetry, can we interpret this verse to be that one may never find "inconsistency" in the law of nature with another, where the mathematics and physics don't break down mid-way as it goes on to perform a function. Can it also be interpreted as the mathematical symmetry that we seem to observe in the universe? All in all, what is the true and complete interpretation of this verse in question?

This is something that happened in India.
They demolished temples and idols of Hindus (1)in their own kingdoms and (2)in the Hindu kingdoms they were at war with.
Does either of the above cases have scriptural justification in Islam? Does Islam encourage Muslims and/or Muslim rulers to destroy idols and places of worship of other religions?
Also, in the above case, are these Muslim rulers considered to be committing Jihad(Holy War)?
Note:The more specific verses are about breaking idols, the better.

Confusion on hyenas
>Ibn Abi Ammar said: "I asked Jabir bin Abdullah: 'Is the hyena game?' He said: 'Yes'" He said: "I said: 'Can it be eaten?' He said: 'Yes.'" He said: "I said: 'Did the Messenger of Allah say that?'

I'm confused regarding the edibility of hyenas. The Hadith above stipulates that the meat is halal. However there are other ahadith where all predatory animals with canines are haram. Hyenas have canines and they're predatory.
Could this be an example of abrogation? Could it be that hyenas were halal which were later counted as forbidden along with other predators?

Can descendants of the Prophet (syed) receive zakah during emergency of COVID19?
Assalamualiukum. I understand that zakat cannot be family of Prophet (pbuh) / SYEDs. Currently, we are in the emergency situation of COVID19 where humanity is dying of hunger, so in this desperate situation can we give zakat to them ? Jazakallah khair

Are there any rulings or conditions on the choice of a foster mother?
In Islam it is not unusual that a child might be breast fed by somebody else than his own mother. In fact in my own family we have such cases, where two cousins were breast fed from one of their mothers.

In Islam it is not unusual that a child might be breast fed by somebody else than his own mother.
In fact in my own family we have such cases, where two cousins were breast fed from one of their mothers.
The prophet () himself was breast fed by Halimah as-Sa'adiya as we all know and she was a polytheist and converted to Islam later.
And Muslims often had non-Muslim neighbours and in cases, especially in the early days of Islam and in case of conversion, family members who are/were non-Muslims.
All this made me wonder if it is appropriate to have a non-Muslim breast feed a Muslim baby or are there any kind of limitations or conditions on the foster mother in fiqh books (like who can be foster mother, and when is it allowed to breast feed a kid that's not your own).

Why did prophet Muhammad threaten the king of Oman to accept Islam?
The [letter][1] of Prophet Muhammad to the king of Oman. >From Muhammad, the messenger of God, to Jaifar and Abd, sons of Al Julanda. >Peace is upon him who follows the guidance. >I am calling both of you, in the name of peace. You will be safe if you submit to Islam. > >I am the Messenger of God to...
The letter of Prophet Muhammad to the king of Oman.
>From Muhammad, the messenger of God, to Jaifar and Abd, sons of Al Julanda.
>Peace is upon him who follows the guidance.
>I am calling both of you, in the name of peace. You will be safe if you submit to Islam.
>
>I am the Messenger of God to all people warn all living that Islam will prevail.
I hope you will accept Islam, **but if you do not, then you will lose your country, and my horsemen will invade your territory and my prophecy will dominate your country**.
>
>Seal: Muhammad, the Prophet of God
Why did prophet Muhammad threaten the king of Oman(*but if you do not, then you will lose your country, and my horsemen will invade your territory and my prophecy will dominate your country*).
There should be no force convertion to Islam. But by threatening that your kingdom will be conquered and you will lose your kingdom if you reject Islam, is force.
And why would prophet say this in first place, I mean why did he threaten the king.

I have stolen in the past, years ago, after I hit puberty. I know the owner, I have ability to contact him, I'm close with his family.
But, I don't think he knows about the situation or at most who has done it. He has not been affected by it as it was a cheap item from his stock.
I am too ashamed to let him know about my wrongdoing to him. Now, I'm friends with his family members, share food with some of them, help when I can, and probably have outspent ten to hundred times of the price of the item I've stolen from him in some form or another to his family members.
But I still feel guilty and want to repay properly, but I don't wanna disclose to him that I've stolen from him. What should I do?

When we recite the words of the Quran, are the "words" uncreated? Not to mention that my knowledge of the words, the Arabic, etc of the Quran are also created. Wouldn't that entail that the words of the Quran are now in created form? Or that something created (i.e my act of recitation) is now in perfect similitude to the words that Allah spoke, something uncreated? How can the created replicate what is uncreated?
