Boxing as a form of fitness

Assalamu Alaykum
I've done some searching and so far have not found an opinion on boxing for fitness within Islam.
I've found that I am sound wrestler and have been looking for alternative means of training my stamina before I start lifting weights.
When I say boxing for fitness, the general idea I have is not to go to a boxing gym and fight but rather to train using boxing methods i.e.(skipping, using punching bags and shadow boxing) as it is much more intense training than that of wrestling.
I have absolutely no intention to even spar within the gym let alone fight.
I would very much appreciate an opinion on this.
Jazakallah

If a woman exposes awrah to another woman, what is invalid?
If a woman uncovers or exposes her awrah (private part) to another woman because of a medical procedure (example laser hair removal in the private parts), is it sinful? What does this act invalidate? Does it make prayer invalid? For how long does it make prayer invalid? Does it invalidate wudu? What...
If a woman uncovers or exposes her awrah (private part) to another woman because of a medical procedure (example laser hair removal in the private parts), is it sinful? What does this act invalidate? Does it make prayer invalid? For how long does it make prayer invalid? Does it invalidate wudu? What else should I know?
I have to get laser hair removal twice a year in the private part (and rest of my body) because when the hair grows it's thick.
Thank you.

This question is stuck in my head from quite some time now that why shia and sunnis are offering namaz in a different way, in fact, most of the namaz part is different.
I am a Sunni Muslim and one of my friends is Shia Muslim her namaz is quite different from us why it is?
We all are Muslims and we should pray in the same way. **Which way is authenticated and which one is recommended by Rasool(SAW).** I searched a lot and most of the places I found(our namaz method).

Is it still obligatory to obey a parent's command after they die?
For example, if my parent tells me to not play video games when I was a small child, is it still wajib to obey that command now that I am an adult and they have passed away when I was still a child?

How much of the Qur'an is recommended to be read, to compete khatmah during Ramadan
It's Sunnah to make a complete reading of the Qur'an during Ramadan. And Jibreel would revise the Qur'an with Muhammad ﷺ every Ramadan. I remember being told at one point, in order to complete the Qur'an during Ramadan you should read a whole juz every day. https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/31426/43...

However there are 30 Juz and between 29 and 30 days during Ramadan.
How many juz (if any) is one recommended to read over day, if Ramadan might be 29 days?
I know some companions would complete the Qur'an in 3 days, but I'm not yet able to do that.

If stains or traces of madhiy still remain after sprinkling the water, do I have to sprinkle water again in that area? Or is sprinkling a handful of water once sufficient regardless of the stains or traces of madhiy that remain? And is the water that was splashed on madhiy pure?

I am interested to get the answer to this contradiction which was made by almost all Shia. Actually, I asked many Shia people to explain to me and to solve the following belief contradiction: Do you believe in Mohamed(SAWW) as a prophet? They answered me yes. And What about Aisha(May God Be Pleased With Her) ? They answered me: She is a wife of our Prophet ? I ask again: Do you love Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) ? They said: Sure, we love him. Do you love his wife **Aisha** ? To this, they are mostly in silence or say "No". When I asked the reason for it, they answered : She was a cause and temptation in the killing of Al-Zubair. By the way, they believe in [Battle of the Camel].
May I get an explanation of contradiction in the following question; I ask any of shia people :
Assume I'm your friend lover to your heart? Assume I say to you: your wife is a prostitute? What about our friendship? Does our friendship still as it were?
Now the main interesting question to me here is :
**Why Shia think they believe in Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and at the same time they stab his honor** ?
**Addendum** Aisha, (May God be Pleased with Her), did not betray the Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) as his wife, because she always followed his path (teachings).

> According to a Tradition, when Hadrat `Adi bin Hatim, who was formerly a Christian, came to the Holy Prophet with the intention of understanding Islam, he asked several questions in order to remove his doubts. One of these was: "This verse accuses us of taking our scholars and monks as our lords. What is its real meaning, sir? For we do not take them as our fords." As a reply to this, the Holy Prophet put him a counter-question: "Is it not a fact that you accept as unlawful what they declare to be unlawful, and lawful what they declare to be lawful?" 'Adi confessed, "Yes, sir, it is so." The Holy Prophet replied, "This amounts to making them your lords."

saying alhamdulilah after sneezing in toilet
I know that you need say alhamdulilah after sneezing even if you are in middle of a prayer. But sometimes I sneeze in toilet. But in toilet what I know you are not allowed to say Allah's name. So I should not say alhamdulilah if I need to sneeze in toilet?

Hey so I have 2 problems:
1.in one of my subjects, we have to organize something for this years halloween and I have to participate too.
We’re gonna go to 3rd graders and teach them halloween vocabulary. And as far as I know, halloween is a shirk/pagan holiday.I am extremely uncomfortable with the whole situation but I’m obviously not allowed to not participate, will I be held accountable for this?
2.in another subject, we’re gonna watch a movie soon and I did some research because I was curious about the content, now I saw that there is gonna be music (obviously) and even shirk in the lyrics. I don’t know what to do since I can’t just stop going to school and my parents wouldn’t allow me to stay home, but if I watch the movie knowing that the songs in it have shirk, will I be held accountable? I would want to stay home for all the lessons that we watch movies but I can’t.

Salam Brothers,
I would like to know what is the status of narrator Minhal Ibn Amr. I have read somewhere that he was a Shia, but still many Sunni scholars accepted his narrations. However, is it true that some scholars like Imam Razi, Yaha bin Ma'in, Shu'bah, etc have rejected his narrations? However here is a Hadith Website that cites narrations from Minhal Ibn Amr:-
https://hadithanswers.com/how-many-days-did-ibrahim-alayhis-salam-spend-in-the-fire/
**The Main Question Is: is Minhal Ibn Amr reliable narrator, according to Yahya bin Ma'in, Imam Razi, Shu'bah, etc?**
Thanks.
