For Jesus' (as) miracles why does the Qur'an state "by God's permission"?
I don't recall for miracles of other Prophets or Messengers mentioned in the Qur'an that the text says "by God's permission" so why exclusively for Jesus (as)?

Is changing lip colour haram?
I've heard from sources that you can change somethings about yourself for temporarily or it has to be a slight adjustment so does changing lip colour apply to these.

Does Islam allow celebrating the attainment of puberty?

I have observed a few cultures that throw a party, calling upon their relatives and close friends for lunch or dinner to acknowledge when their daughter has reached puberty.
While I have read that back in the day, this was signal to look for potential daughter in laws, given that nowadays most girls tend to marry only after college, are such displays and rituals still relevant?
Also are the girls not made uncomfortable knowing their body changes are being inexplicitly announced among their cousins?
If Islam allows this, why do we not have a similar ritual for the boys similar to the Jews?

Does this movement invalidate salah?
When I was raising my hands before ruku, I quickly fixed my sleeve because I was scared that my arms might show. Does this invalidate my prayer? I know that excessive or unnecessary movements could possibly invalidate salah, but I’m not sure about what to do in this case.

What are some viewpoints on whether it is considered a sin, or not allowed under Islamic law, to pay taxes which go towards the support of wars of aggression, or wars considered immoral by yourself or your interpretation of your religion?
For example, if you consider the "wars" the United States has conducted in Libya, Syria, Iraq, etc to be immoral wars of aggression, what are some viewpoints held by Islamic institutions or sects on whether you should pay taxes to a government conducting such wars?
I see a related question is here: https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/7098/what-is-the-islamic-judgment-of-paying-taxes-from-the-us however I am not asking about specific terminology such as Fatwa and Tawlli, just about general viewpoints which may or may not fit in with that terminology.
I asked a similar question in the Christian stack exchange here and received an answer which covered various movements and sects: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/39648/what-is-an-overview-of-different-stances-on-whether-and-why-it-is-a-sin-to-pay-t

Who elected Khalifah in Rashidun Chalipate?
I asked in history stackexchange. Sunni source is that the first four Chaliphs are "properly" elected. However, some Syiah disagree. This one says, for example, https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/58430/did-ali-say-that-only-muhammads-descendants-can-rule?noredirect=1#comment176183_58430 > I...

So in case of Abu Bakr, it seems that some prominent companions are not excluded. Is there a reasoanable reason why they're not included? What coercion he's talking about?
The reason I asked this is because in politic, this is a very normal game.
Suharto, for example, is always "elected". By who? By MPR. Who elect members of MPR? About 50% is chosen by Suharto.
So in a very good sense, the whole thing is just a show. Suharto isn't really elected. He just elect himself by electing those who will elect him in MPR.
So who elect Abu Bakr? Same trick? He's elected by consensus among those who like him?

What's the hadith where a pious man tells sinful man he's going to hell and both of their deeds are reduced to none?
I remember a hadith that talks about how a pious man claimed that the sinful man can't be forgiven, i.e. definitely going to hell, and a voice said his sins and your good deeds have both been erased start over.

Focusing on a different object in salah
Salam, recently we bought a kitten and he was sleeping next to me whilst I read salah and for a brief moment I ended up looking at him but I didn’t move my head or chest, just looked at him for a second with my eye, is my salah invalidated because of this? Jazakallah Khair.

This year was the first year I fasted for all of Ramadan and have been praying consistently. I was not aware that once a girl sees her period that fasting and praying become mandatory. Do I have to make up the prayer and fasts that I missed even though I was didn't know I was supposed to?
