Is there a prohibition to take care of dogs in the rule in Islam, because I just to know it is haram if exposed to saliva alone?

Assalamualaikum, I actually always had this question, if we take a disputed topic like masturbation or any other topic like this where scholars have divided opinion, some says that particular act is haram, some says it's halal and some say it's makrooh, so if that act is haram, will the scholars who says it's halal get a sin?

We know wudu' is not ok if there are something resisting water flow. My question is do I have taken wudu' and do salah if I have applied tiger balm on my head as i was affected with head ache do I have to do salah again? Does tiger balm resist water to have contact with skin causing wudu' to become invalid and accordingly causing my salah becoming invalid?

Assalamualaikum, is it haram to say that a non muslim or disbeliever will go to jahannam. I am pretty sure it's clearly written that a person who dies while not believing in Allah or associating partners with Allah will go to jahannam, so it's clearly writen there but I heard a story from a Mufti that, there was once 2 muslims, one was a person who would always try to do good deeds and other one used to do bad deeds, the good deed one said to the other guy to stop doing this sins, but that bad deed guy didn't stop and then the good deeds guy said that, he will go to jahannam, when they both died, Allah put the guy who did good deed in jahannam and one with bad deed in jannah, the reason why he put that good deed one in jahannam because in a way, he told that he can decide whoever goes to Jannah and jahannam and not Allah, so if I someone says something like this to a disbeliever and not a believer like in this story, will it still be a sin?

Assalamualaikum, I actually had this question, did the entire world submerged during Nooh's time, Nooh went on a mountain with some people and animals to protect from that flood,but did the entire world submerged during that or just some part of it? And if the world submerged completely, how was it restored?

I remember reading in many books about the human and jinn marriage and their children. But that was long time ago and i just remembered them after reading this question: https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/35184/can-jinn-have-sex-with-my-wife So, i want to know the reality of human and jinns marriage, any authentic reports about this issue. What is state of this marriage, i mean is this the marriage we know or is it something else. And is this permissible or not. Anything anyone can find will be helpful.

there are hadiths that say إِنَّ مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلاَمِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكَهُ مَا لاَ يَعْنِيهِ that mean "Surely, of the excellence of a person's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him.". this hadith is marked " Da'if (Darussalam) ". what is Darussalam? why/how they decided this hadith is weak (daif)? are not there similar hadithes which are not weak? this look like i like this hadith, but, actually, i think, how can this be true while quran and hadithes say that muslims should try to stop bad deeds? also, maybe this hadith easily can be used to say things like "do not learn that science, it does not concern you".

I keep getting waswas of shirk, and I watched a video about the existence of God coz I saw it on youtube, and I read a lot of things about people losing their faith and even one or 2 things about apostates (NOT because I wanted to be like them. Is this a sin? I told my parents and friends about my problem. Is that a sin? I dont know how to get rid of this, because it interferes even whilst doing the dhikr meant to keep it away. Might ruqya help?

Assalamualaikum, So I joined a discord server from my friends but the server name is "*the person name* is god" now it's not a cult like discord server, it's just general server to meet and talk without any religious thing involved. They just use the name ironically. My question is if I joined that server will it count as me doing shirk? Is it haram to join that server? Wassalamualaikum.

i received money 5000 PKR but don't know who sent and no call or text received asking for that it is mistakenly sent to you. Is this money halal for me or not I waited 1 week almost but no one asked me for money it is still in my account safe and sound. should i spend it or not? what should i Do?

Lately, the government in UK has been lending out money to help business in crisis due to COVID-19 which when approved have one year to return without interest. It has created a perfect opportunity for people to get money even by mean of creating a fictitious business or creating an illusion of business hit by COVID-19. Some people argue that they are using the money for betterment as to invest in places where they feel it is needed the most e.g helping out siblings. Is it money gotten by the above-mentioned means Halal or Haram to use? some might argue that Allah has created opportunities to help us so why not help to make things better? IMO I feel it is haram because it is sort of forgery or making other (in this case bank fool).

this is my first post on this site so I hope it’s okay. Basically, a while ago my friend (Hindu) invited me to her place during a festival period for Hindus. I then found out we were going to visit the temple so I just thought I would go with them and they would pray and we’d leave but obviously I wouldn’t pray because it was more of a cultural thing for me to learn about their festival. However, it turns out the thing at the temple was actually a celebration for the festival and they were doing some kind of traditional dance and my friend asked me to take part so I did cause like I said, I was intrigued with the culture and what they were doing. I didn’t realise until later the thing they (and I) had been dancing around was an image of one of the Hindu Gods they believe in but I got too anxious to say anything and I continued dancing with my friend because in my mind, I didn’t believe religiously in anything they were doing and obviously knew Allah was and is the only God I believe in and worship. At the end of the night is when everyone in the temple started praying but I didn’t take part and when they all went to get a blessing from their God I didn’t go and even when one of the ladies asked me to I said no because that’s not the God I believe in. Looking back, I regret taking part and I know it was wrong but I’m worried that I committed shirk through my actions though in my heart I didn’t believe in their beliefs. I‘ve been making tawbah but I’m really worried and am hoping someone can calm my nerves :(

Assalamualaikum can someone help verify the authenticity of the following narration? : >‘No one reaches forty years in Islam except that Allah protects him from madness, leprosy and leucoderma. When he is fifty, Allah makes easy his reckoning. When he reaches sixty, Allah grants him repentance. And when he reaches seventy, Allah loves him and the inhabitants of the heavens love him. And when he reaches eighty, Allah accepts his good deeds and overlooks his sins. When he reaches ninety, Allah forgives his past and future sins, he is named ‘the prisoner of Allah on earth’ and is granted intercession (for forgiveness) for his family.’ References: Musnad Ahmad, vol.2 pg.89 and vol.3 pg.218 Musnad Bazzar, see Kashful Astar, Hadith: 3587-3589 Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam Bayhaqi, Hadith: 650-652 Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalani (rahimahullah) has mentioned seven Sahabah that have reported it. (Ma’rifatul Khisalil Mukaffirah, pg. 89)

I actually am a student who study in school, most of the students in that school are non muslim, I have a friend there who always helps me with my work and gives me his notes whenever I need it and he is always kind to me, he has been my friend for 8 years, he never said anything to me about my religion or anything and infact he doesn't allow other bully students to tell me anything about my religion, we don't hangout after school but we just sometimes chat about notes and sometimes some other important stuff. I don't do haram things like wishing him on his religious festival or something like that. But I heard that it is haram to befriend a non muslim, so am I committing sin for this?

 Islam follows a lunar calendar. Obviously, the month changes at the site of first crescent of the new moon and this happens only at sunset. It therefore implies that a date too should change at sunset. This methodology is followed universally in Islam. I could find this hadith that indirectly backs up this methodology: >### Sunan Abi Dawud (Hadith 2341) > >**Narrated Ikrimah:** > >Once the people doubted the appearance of the moon of Ramadan, and intended neither to offer the tarawih prayer nor to keep fast. A bedouin came from al-Harrah and testified that he had sighted the moon. He was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He asked: Do you testify that there is no god but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah? He said: Yes; and he testified that he had sighted the moon. He commanded Bilal who announced to the people to offer the tarawih prayer and to keep fast. In another hadith (Sahih), The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) calls the 'Asr prayer *'middle prayer'* >### Jami' Tirmidhi (Hadith 3250) > >**Narrated Samurah bin Jundab:** > >"The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The middle Salat is Salat Al-'Asr.'" When the day is believed to be commenced with the sunset, the Maghrib prayer should be the first prayer and 'Asr should be the last prayer and the middle prayer should actually be Fajr. - Why then is 'Asr prayer called the *middle prayer*? - If it is a different context that the hadith refers to, what is that context and how does it make 'Asr the *middle prayer*? # UPDATE: I stumbled upon another hadith: >### Sunan Abi Dawud (Hadith 411) >**Zaid b. Thabit said:** > >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to offer the Zuhr prayer in midday heat; and no prayer was harder on the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that this one. Hence the revelation came down: "Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer" (2:238). He (the narrator) said: There are two prayers before it and two prayers after it. In this hadith, the Zuhr prayer is called the mid-most prayer. It is also mentioned that there are two prayers before it and two prayers after it. Now again, two more questions arise. - How is this Hadith compatible with the previous hadith that mentions 'Asr as the middle prayer? - Two prayers before Zuhr means Isha and Fajr. Does the hadith also mean that the next date actually starts after Maghrib (ie. with 'Isha)?

So let's just say that I want to pray fajr namaaz for someone I care for who doesn't read namaaz. If I read 2 farz namaaz on behalf of this person, would the Salah be accepted for the person or is there no point of praying Salah on behalf of another person?

I got married to someone who has totally different views on saving/finances. I am of the view that money should be spent in moderation and saved too after giving charity/zakat. Where as my husband is of the view that there's no point of saving as Allah is the sole provider. No doubt in that indeed but what is the stance in Islam where a person isn't putting in any effort himself.

What is the purpose of dreams? I understand there are different types of dreams. I also understand that either directly or indirectly they are from our Creator. But, what is their purpose? Please give sources if you are able. Thank you

In Qur'an the words *qasas* and *hadith* are at times used in meanings that are close to each other. For example: the use of *qasas* as in story-narration: > We narrate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of **stories** (*qasas*) in what We have > revealed to you of this Qur'an although you were, before it, among the > unaware. **—12:3** versus the use of *hadith* as in story-narration: > Has not there come to you the **story** (*hadith*) of Moses? Following the theory that Allah would never use words randomly, has the scholars explained difference between these two words *when they are used in the above sense*? What is the difference *exactly*?
