Is it haram to draw a face or a character or an animal that's from a book or a show or a movie something that's basically already created but you're drawing it on a different canvas your drawing the same thing that's already created but on your piece of paper or your canvas I want to know clearly if it's haram or not because I have heard that it is if you're creating a random character but I have not heard if it is, or isn't if you're drawing a character that's already created.

The scholars state it is recommended to do this as filth can attach to the hair and it is included in the definition of pubic hair. Now I don't wish to use a razor but just a trim - looking in a mirror underneath and small scissors is very hard. If you are unmarried or the wife doesn't want to assist what can you do? Only a doctor if he is examining that area may see it without it being haraam. What other options are available? I can't think of any more.

In summer when going to Swimming, it can be quite embarrassment to go with hairy body. Also I do not personally like hairs on my body. I am not sure if Islam allows shaving the body? If yes, can one shave the whole body or only any part of it? What about Muslim women? If they have this problem, can they shave too?

As-Salaumu Alaykum! Please provide proof from Al-Qur'an and/or saheeh hadith which support Zuhr and Asr prayers are to be prayed silently. There are two proofs that suggest that Muslims should read Zuhr, Asr and all other mandatory prayers in a audible range ## 1. Allah suggest that prayer be read in a moderate tone in [17:110] > Say, ‘Invoke “Allah” or invoke “the All-beneficent.” Whichever [of His Names] you may invoke, to Him belong the Best Names.’ **Be neither loud in your prayer, nor murmur it, but follow a middle course between these.** [Al-Qur'an, Surah 17:110 ] Hence Muslims are directly instructed by ALLAH Subhana Wa Talla to read their prayers in a moderate audible tone ? I believe that Al-Qur'an prevails everything, while Sunnah clarifies. ## 2. [Sahih al-Bukhari #762] impiles that Prophet Mohamed (saw) recitation in Zuhr and Asr was audible It was narrated by Abdullah bin Abi Qatada that: > My father said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite Al-Fatiha along with another Sura in the first two rakat of the Zuhr and the `Asr prayers and at times a verse or so was audible to us." > >Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari #762 --- I have found NO RELIABLE HADITH which instructs Muslim to read Zuhur or Asr - silently. In fact contradicting ALLAH in 17:110 - would be a deviation from faith. So I kindly ask to provide dalil, proof, references to Al-Qur'an and/or reliable hadith on the basis of which Zuhur and Asr are conducted without audible recitation of Al-Qur'an.

assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh so i want to ask, I'm a teenager Muslim male, but i, for my entire life i rarely pray at masjid because my social anxiety, im afraid to meet another people and it's really hard to overcome it, but regardless i still do my prayer at home, so am i sinful for not praying in the masjid? People told me my prayer is valid but I'm still committing a sin by not going to masjid even though im physically well, but like i said, im really afraid of meeting another people or talk or just look at them, i still do my Friday pray at the masjid but even then i still am feel uncomfortable being around a lot of people, this really affect my social life, but i don't know what to do I hope i can overcome my social anxiety, but for the time being, is my prayer still a valid but sinful pray? im sorry im not that good at English but i hope whoever reading this get the point I'm trying to say wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

(Ali 'Imran : 112) Why, if there is poverty above them, did many rich Jews live and live in the world? Furthermore, the economic situation of Jews has improved significantly in recent history. As a related question, are today's Jews to blame for the murder of the prophets and does this affect the poverty that Allah has placed on them?

Assalammualaikum, brothers and sisters, So I used to draw living beings without knowing it is a bad thing in Islam. I wanted to know what to do with the drawings and any punishment/curse for doing so. If there is a punishment/curse, what should I do? I much appreciate if you answer me!

WARNING: Read this at your own risk of losing your beliefs. I don't believe in Islam (but hopefully I would). I thought I was the only one ever who doubts the truthfulness of rationality, perception and reports, but I recently [asked on Philosophy SE](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/92551/can-we-doubt-all-knowledge) , and I found people, who are reputable in philosophy, doubt all kinds of knowledge... The reasons for doubting that logic is true: - The existence of free will; because it indicates indeterminism, which is illogical - Why not? What makes it impossible that there is another way of thinking that leads to truth? How can Islamic scientests respond to such doubts? If someone doubts logic, Does that mean he can never become a true believer in Islam?

Me my 3 brothers and my mom recently shifted to a new house. Before we did we found out more about shirk and threw all taweez and oils and stuff away. In my family. Black magic is a common topic the thing is that although we dont own any taweez and stuff it was found folded in a open wide area (inside infront of my moms door) in my moms room. We have no idea how it got there. And none of us know about such things or own such tgings. Could someone explain this and translate it please. Jazakalla Also im unsure if it is a taweez or what

I have my soon to be wife in Pakistan and we talk on Skype while I'm in USA. She is very Islamic and we never had any bad conversation or anything that we are not allowed to speak about before marriage. Everytime we speak I get some liquid which is not semen as its lighter than that. I have no bad intentions about her but yes, I fantasize having sex at the back of my mind but when I speak to her,I don't do so because I want to have sex. I speak to her because I like her and I want to be with her for the rest of my life. I can't offer my prayers and am worried about it a lot. She keeps asking me why am I not offering my prayers and I am shy to tell her openly. But I told her a little bit and she was so upset that she stopped eating and started crying a lot. She is chaste and pure soul and I don't want to hurt her. Please tell me what is happening with me and if I can offer my prayers with that liquid touching my clothes?

> O you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of > Allah, investigate; and do not say to one who gives you [a greeting > of] peace, "You are not a believer," aspiring for the goods of worldly > life; for with Allah are many acquisitions. You [yourselves] were like > that before; then Allah conferred His favor [i.e., guidance] upon you, > so investigate. Indeed Allah is ever, of what you do, Aware. (An-Nisa > : 94) What is this verse about? The verse says, "aspiring for the goods of worldly life." This also indicates the intentions of the murderers, so why is the sentence so lenient to them?

Verses 39:53 and 39:10 say: Why is there the word "Say" in these verses? It was possible to use direct appeal without it. > Say: “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! > Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all > sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."39:53 > Say: “O My servants who believe! Be mindful of your Lord. Those who do > good in this world will have a good reward. And Allah’s earth is > spacious. Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward > without limit.”39:10

The Qur'an in 33:37 mentions Zayd ibn Harisa by name. > And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah > bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear > Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to > disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that > you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married > her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any > discomfort [i.e., guilt] concerning the wives of their claimed [i.e., > adopted] sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the > command [i.e., decree] of Allah accomplished. (Al-Ahzab : 37) And Samuel is mentioned in 2:246-247, but not by name. > Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after > [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us > a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah"? He said, "Would you > perhaps refrain from fighting if battle was prescribed for you?" They > said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have > been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when battle > was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. > And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers. (Al-Baqarah : 246) > And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as > a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are > more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure > of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has > increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His > sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favor] > and Knowing. (Al-Baqarah : 247) Why? After all, Samuel is a great prophet, and he also had the right to be mentioned. And in addition, there are 125,000 prophets, and many of them are great (such as Daniel, Isaiah, Yusha). Why are they not mentioned? And why are the other companions of the Prophet (Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali) not mentioned?

I had a misunderstanding of some verses of the Quran. In 4:93 it is said that whoever kills a believer will be severely punished. > And whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be > Hell—where they will stay indefinitely. Allah will be displeased with > them, condemn them, and will prepare for them a tremendous > punishmen.4:93 But we know that according to 49:14, not every Muslim is a believer. > ˹Some of˺ the nomadic Arabs say, “We believe.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “You > have not believed. But say, ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not yet > entered your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger > ˹wholeheartedly˺, He will not discount anything from ˹the reward of˺ > your deeds. Allah is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”49:14 I even read that it takes a lot of effort to achieve the degree of a believer, because faith must enter the heart. Therefore, my question is: why is the word believer used in 4:93, and not Muslim? Does it make sense?

Is the apostate's repentance accepted, because in 3:90 it is said that it will never be accepted? > Indeed, those who disbelieve after having believed then increase in > disbelief, their repentance will **never** be accepted. It is they who are > astray.3:90 And the verse 3:86 is connected with 3:90: > How will Allah guide a people who chose to disbelieve after they had > believed, acknowledged the Messenger to be true, and received clear > proofs? For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.3:86 How can this verse be correlated with 3:89, because if Allah does not guide the apostates, then how can they repent? And if their repentance is accepted (as stated in 3:89), then why does 3:90 say? > As for those who repent afterwards and mend their ways, then surely > Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.3:89 How to link these three verses 3:86, 3:89, 3:90?

"Umar asks Imam Ali (AS) for his daughter in marriage, and Imam Ali (AS) asks him to leave and then Imam Ali asks his daughter to go to Umar, and when she arrives Umar asks her to marry him, and places his hand on her leg and uncovers her leg!!!!!!  She immediately says to him you do this to me!  If you were not the ruler I would have broken your nose. And she leaves the room. She tells Imam Ali of what happened and added 'You sent me to a vile old man.'  But Ali nevertheless marries her to him!"  al-Estee'aab  4/1954 Umar asks Imam Ali (AS) for his daughter in marriage, and Imam Ali (AS) asks him to leave and then Imam Ali asks his daughter to make herself beautiful to go to Umar!!!  And when Umar saw her he placed his hand on her leg and asked her to marry him . . . when she came back to her father Imam Ali asked her what did Umar tell you, she replied Umar kissed me and placed his hand on my leg and asked me to marry him.  Then Ali married her to him!!!!!"  Taareekh Baghdaad 6/182 Ibn Hajar reports in his book al-Esaabah that "Umar asks Imam Ali (AS) for his daughter Umm Kolthum (AS) in marriage, and Imam Ali (AS) asks him to leave and then Imam Ali asks his daughter to go to Umar, and when she arrives Umar placed his hand on her leg and uncovers her leg!!!!!!  The daughter of Imam Ali (AS) says to him if you were not the ruler I would have gouged your eyes . . . ." al-Esaabah 4/321 These reports are about Hazrat Umar (RZ) marriage with Hazrat Ali (RZ) Daughter. Are these reports true?

In football matches, people wear shorts and reveal their upper side of leg but revealing awrah is haram. I think it's haram for different reasons but I want to be sure.

We live in a cold place where in winters all the water freezes in the morning until afternoon. So water is available only in the afternoon. Besides, we cannot do tayammum as the earth is surrounded with snow. We cannot also heat it to get water out of it as the snow is frozen. So can we delay the morning prayer until afternoon when the water is available ?
