Salam, I was born and raised in America so it is a bit difficult to marry a woman and get to know them beforehand while still keeping it halal. Like being able to talk to her one on one and etc. I wanted to see is it permissible to have my Nikkah and in the contract for mehr I can say I will pay it if and only if for example stay together longer than a year, but if we don’t seem to get along together then we can break off basically divorce and I don’t owe her mehr? Because personally I want to marry someone who’s personality goes well with mine so i would prefer we become friends and than marry almost like a dating stage in the western area in America. However at the same time i want to keep it 100% halal so I thought would this be acceptable. Also I know i could talk to her when someone is present with her but I personally think to get the true personality of them it’s Best when they’re alone.

In the past, I bought books that teach how to draw anatomy, hands, faces, etc. Since I no longer will be using them (because I recently learned that drawing animate things is haram), I'm not really sure if selling them is permissible (seeing as the content of the books teaches how to draw animate things). The anatomy stuff isn't explicit in the sense that it details genitalia, though it does obviously have sketches of nude men and woman. That being said, their 'awrah is exposed, even if it isn't depicted in full detail. Just to clarify: these are educational books and clearly not pornography. Similar to how biology textbooks show nude bodies and such organs for teaching purposes. If selling is not permissible, should I donate or simply throw them away?

Asalam O Alikum By grace of Allah i have a good business of my own. Many years ago one good friend of my who now lives in a different city wanted to start a construction business but he didn’t had enough money to do business. I had agreement with him that i will become sleeping partner in his business and invest money in his business. He gives me profit return according to our agreed terms. He also does work of good quality of customers but recently i came to know from some people that he takes construction contracts by giving commission. But there is no confirmation of this since we both are in different cities and i never interfered in business since I’m already busy in my own work. Currently I’m confused is the profit which im getting Halal or not? And also have no idea how to talk about this with him because this can also break our friendship.

I got an impurity on my trousers. I rubbed the place a little under water. Then I used it, but the stain of impurity was still visible, as the area was wet. It touched my skin. Is the trouser impure? Is the area of my body that it touched also impure?

For example when we call someone pretty we say you look divine. Is it considered a shirk?

Assalam o Alaikum, I already know that cutting the eyebrows in Islam is Haram but what about the Unibrows(The Hair Between Eyebrows). They look very bad on my face and I have trimmed my Unibrows 2 times. But I am still not clear that It is Halal to Cut the Hair between Eyebrows because it doesn't look good.

I hope someone here can help me understand a question I have from both an Islamic and scientific perspective. If God created the universe in a precise and predetermined state, then what truly determines human choice? Neuroscience suggests that our decisions are influenced by neural structures in the brain, which are shaped by a combination of genetics and life experiences. Every human being who commits wrongdoing was once an innocent child. Over time, they are exposed to specific environments, events, and circumstances that shape their personality and behavior. Factors such as family, upbringing, society, and trauma influence brain development and the formation of neural pathways, which in turn affect decision-making. However, a person does not choose their genetics, the body they are born into, or the family and environment they are placed in. All of these are assigned before any conscious choice is made. To clarify my point: imagine the same “self” or soul being placed at birth into a completely different body, with different genetics, and into a different family and environment. This is not a change after birth, but a complete replacement of the starting conditions. The same self that became a “bad” person in one case is instead born into the life conditions of someone who became “good,” and vice versa. In such a scenario, brain development, neural connections, and life experiences would be entirely different, which would likely lead to different choices and outcomes. This suggests that external conditions play a significant role in shaping behavior. With this in mind, I am wondering: if a person’s actions are strongly influenced by factors beyond their control, how can we understand individuals being fully accountable in terms of eternal reward or punishment? How does Islam reconcile divine justice with these scientific and logical considerations? to make sure you got the point you can think of the worst person on earth and the best person on earth according to you and them being born into each others life from the start so they maintain the same features and would get the same results at the end but this time this person's soul would go to hell and the other into heaven. I would deeply appreciate any guidance or insights on this matter with supporting proof if possible to remove any skepticism.

Is there any text with respect to: Could it be the case that on the Day of Judgement, a person is in front of Allah, and when finished, he thinks that Allah forgave him, yet he falls down to Hell when passing the siraat bridge. Or, is it the case that nobody will know whether he is forgiven or not, until actually passes that bridge?

We know from ahadith that shayateen can take on the form of humans including living persons e.g. Surayba ibn Malik.

Assalamu alaikum brother, I'm a huge movie addict. I know watching movies is a sin. But I was wondering if downloading the pirated movie, will that be considered as stealing??? (Humble request -Please try to answer with valid Hadith, not just a blind shot)

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته I wanted to know if it was permissible to be enter a marriage knowing you only wanted to be married for a few years and divorce? I am a muslim sister and wanted to get married while i was in school for a few years but have plans to move and help my parents in old age and I don’t want to carry the responsibility of both my parents and a spouse. If it halal do I have to inform the person i’m marrying?

Certain websites claim that in a Hadith it is mentioned the following: > Prophet Muhammad declared, "There was a prophet of God in India who is dark in color and his name was Kahan." (History of Hamadan Dailmi Chapter Al-Kaaf) Looking at the above verse, it is highly likely that this is referring to Lord Krishna who is need called ''Kahan'' and is dark-complexioned. The Quran does mention that there have been 1,24,000 prophets send by Allah but there are also high chances of this Hadith being interpolated just like many Puranas are in Hinduism (especially the Bhavishya Purana which seems to mention Prophet Muhammad and many Biblical characters). So is the above Hadith a ''sahih'' Hadith or is it also interpolated like the Bhavishya Purana in Hinduism?

If impurity like urine or madhi touch my lip or face. How to wash it? If I wash my face like wudu water will enter my nose and drop in clothes. Do this make my clothes and nose impure?

I'm aware having a slave is permitted. However, can a slave have multiple owners at the same time? If yes, I'm particularly curious of the case for concubines. For example, if a concubine becomes pregnant while having multiple owners, are all the owners responsible for taking care of the baby?

I heard somewhere that it is halal for a man to have sexual relations with a live in housemaid, because the situation similar to owning a slave. Is this true?

I was stressed on this for weeks. If I'm learning something using a pirated software, I'll use that knowledge someday. Maybe I'll make money with the knowledge. Will that money become haram?

This hadith from tirmidhi says - > Abu Sa'eed narrated: "On the Day of Badr, the Romans had a victory > over the Persians. So the believers were pleased with that, then the > following was revealed: 'Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated, > up to His saying: 'the believers will rejoice - with the help of > Allah... (30:1-5)'" He said: "So the believers were happy with the > victory of the Romans over the Persians." From the wording, it sounds like it was revealed on the day Romans were victorious.
