What amount of zakat we need to pay on clothes that have been gifted to us? If someone gifts us clothes worth X, then how much zakat we need to pay on it?

I would like to know if it is possible for an Imam in congregation to interrupt the prayer for some reasons. For example some of the praying believers have been attacked or a he's hearing murmur or something behind him or some part of then mosque (pillar/wall...) is collapsing. It would be nice if you could quote an evidence. One reason which seems clear is if the imam loses his purity, but i have never heard of an evidence for that and would know how this would be handled. While for the ma'mums there's a clear hadith . And if this is possible acceptable i would like to know if there where other reasons beside the one mentioned above it would be acceptable and how it was/will be handled!

I have 2 questions about the intention one should make when giving sadaqah, and hope someone here knows the answer. 1. Is there a recommended intention one should make when giving sadaqah? 2. Is it standard islamic practice (or is this cultural) to give sadaqah on behalf of another person to add barakah and/or make their life easier and/or remove some calamity from their life? i.e. Can I give sadaqah on behalf of a troubled family member? In the hope that this troubled family member will receive the blessings of me giving the sadaqah on his/her behalf?

Is it permissible in Islam for someone to pray for themselves to die? Assuming you do nothing to purposefully bring about death on yourself.

Sallallaahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam is basically meaning (Allaah Bless Him & Give Him Peace). So can I say "Moosa (Sallallaahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam)" or for any other Messenger or Prophet other than our own beloved Messenger, MuHammad (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)? I know it's necessary to be said for our Prophet and he is the greatest of all the Prophets! And so he deserves it the most! But can it be permissible or even praiseworthy for the other messengers as long as people know you're not "requiring" it to be said for those other messengers? I just want to pray for their blessings and peace as well if I mention their specific names. Someone who has a background in traditional Sunni Islaamic education, please answer. No disrespect to anyone else!

Qur'an talks of Prophet Noah's age in 29:14 as follows. > And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers. Why does it say **thousand years minus fifty years** rather than directly saying 950 years? More precisely, what I'd like to ask is how should we understand this verse ? Does it literally mean Prophet Noah lived for 950 years or might it have a figurative meaning?

If a man beats his wife without reason can the wife beat him too to protect herself?

Nowadays, women and girls have shape their eyebrows, such as through eyebrow threading (which may extend to the full face). My opinion is that most of them do it just to show off. However, if this activity is just for oneself, and not for showing off, such as inside the house and while observing hijab, is it allowed in Islam?

Does it matter if it's harus, makruh or sunnah? If they can stop me from doing completely halal, then that sounds similar to the sin of making something haram to halal to me. Please clarify.

Usually it happens while praying in prayer room at office, people gathered and form Jamat. So in this case, if you are in the middle of offering your individual Farz prayer. Should you discontinue the prayer to participate in Jamaat?

**In the event of a murder we see the following instruction in the Quran...** "O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered – the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment." (Surah 2:178) What does the Quran mean when it says, "the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female" in the murder context? Does it mean that if a free man kills a slave unjustly then one of his slaves must be put to death for his crime? What if that man doesn't have slaves at all? What if a man kills a woman, does this mean that a female member of his family such as mother, sister, wife, daughter etc., must be put to death for his crime? If a woman kills a man should a male member of her family be put to death? Likewise, if a slave male kills a free male then the owner of the male slave must be killed for the crime? In the murder context, the Quran could have said simply, "The murderer must be killed!" But it doesn't. It is almost impossible to guess why! What could be the possible reason behind this ambiguity in Quran regarding one of the significant issues of human societies? The above verse deals with the murder. It seems it is replacing the previous rule given to Jews as the Hadith literature mentions: https://www.sunnah.com/bukhari/87/20 . Some suggest that the verse had a context, which is not mentioned in the Authentic Hadiths though. But that doesn't restrict its applicability to Muslims now. If muslims today are expected to take its instructions how should they understand and apply it? Furthermore, even if the suggested context is a battle settlement between two tribes, which had once fought with each other and later joined Islam, how can it be equal let alone justice if a freeman be killed now for a free man that was killed in the battle? Or, a slave to be killed now for a slave that had been killed before? Or, a woman be put to death now for a woman that had been killed earlier?

Basically I’ve been dealing with this doubt I randomly thought of about a year ago. We live in a world where everything is plain/straightforward and can be logically explained. It’s hard for me to grasp the concept that when I die I’ll see the angel of death. I don’t know if this makes sense but hopefully someone can help clear this up Inshallah it’s been eating away at me for a while.

The Quran says: *"...When you are secure, offer the prayer duly, because the prayer has been prescribed to the believers as **linked to particular times.**"* (An-Nisa 4:103) And the times are defined also: *“Offer the prayer **from the decline (westwards shift) of the sun** till (the beginning of) the chill of the night, and during the accumulation of red lights of dawn. The accumulation of red lights of dawn is certainly visible.”* (Al-Isra 17:78) “Offer the prayer in **two parts of the daytime** and in the hours of the night that are closer to daytime...” (Hud 11:114) Start of Dhuhr is defined: *from the decline (westwards shift) of the sun* End of Asr is defined: *Offer the prayer in two parts of the daytime*, therefore end of asr is end of daytime. But the line between of those two parts of the daytime (end of dhuhr/beginning of asr) is nowhere cleary defined. The Prophet also combined sometimes those prayers without being on a journey or having fear of anything: Narrated from Ibn Abbas: *“The Messenger of Allah combined Dhuhr and Asr, Maghrib and Isha. There was **no fear, no journey**.”* (Muslim, Prayer of the travelers, 6/59) And there are five furhter ahadith on that: (Muslim, Prayer of the travelers, 6/60, 6/65, 6/66, 6/68) **Is it allowed to combine those prayers without being on a journey or without having any excuse (having fear of something)?**

I've already inquired for a similar question, but my previous question was in regards to "Can women put their pictures (without hijab) on the internet". So, at that question I concluded that it is impermissible for women to utilize their photographs without hijab in cyberspace, since haram is haram (and it can has its negative effect [sin] on the viewer) and ... But about the ones whose images are with hijab, I assume: since there can be existed the probability of an amount of sin (as a possibility) for the ones who watch her(them) as non-mahrams, I was wondering if **it is permissible, Makruh or impermissible for women to utilize that if their photos are with hijab**?

Assalam Alaikum, my dear brothers, and sisters of Islam. I am 16 years old and have an interest in playing outdoor sports. Our playtime starts at 4 pm but the asr prayer's time is 4:46 pm. I wanted to ask that can I pray before 4:46 to go out early and have more time to play? Also, I wanted to add that there is a Masid near our ground, but my family is not yet convinced to send me to the Masjid as there are many people there. Please can anyone guide me on this?

Can you explain this hadith? From [Sahih Muslim](https://sunnah.com/muslim:1456d) > They took captives (women) on the day of Autas who had their husbands. > They were afraid (to have sexual intercourse with them) when this > verse was revealed:" And women already married except those whom you > right hands posses" (iv. 24) My Questions regarding this hadith 1: Are their husbands captive with there wifes? 2: Why there marriage get annual? I mean non-muslims have their own rules in their religion 3: are they not allowed to practice their religion as slave?

Assalamu'aalaykum, I'm looking to buy a car and stumbled across some Islamic financing websites. This is from one of the websites: "...promises to sell the commodities and the customer promises to buy the commodities from time to time on an agreed ratio of profit added to the cost." It seems like they are twisting riba as profit added to the cost, especially when the car will go down in value over time. Is this allowed?

I personally think that income earned by a barber is haram if it includes beard shaves and the like, but my father believes that it's completely halal. Will I earn any sin for eating from his money earned from the barbershop? I'm still a teenager. I don't earn my own money yet. Will I be sinful for consuming his haram wealth? I feel guilty for not being able to convince him of this

I know there was an argument between the Muslims in the subject of Quran at the time of Uthman (R.A). **What was the argument about**? Did the Muslims not agree that other recitations were correct ? And if so, Uthman (R.A) still left the marks and vowels out so that wouldnt solve the matter. I am so confused, please let me know.
