> And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things]. -- Qur'an 4:35 I interpret "his/her people" as meaning "his/her family" (which seems to match some translations at Islam Awakened and this answer to my previous question). A convert, for example, may not have any Muslim family members, and I'm wondering if they can use non-Muslim family members for arbitration. **Question**: Can an arbitrator for domestic disputes in Qur'an 4:35 be a non-Muslim?

As salamualaikum May i ask once again a (maybe two in one) question on behalf of my dear sister's name. A long time ago she agreed that if i think she intended to marry, i should arrange it or at least she should have my permission to meet a man (cause of her severe physical disability, i try to help and protect her as best as possible for her own good). ((Again: Its her free will and decision as she came to islam to live it as scrupulously as possible.)) Yesterday she told me that she is in a affair, has comitted zina by speaking and looking at a young man as she was out only for anhour to breath fresh air and soak the sun as she hardly goes out of the place where she stays under our care. I wanted to do a research before taking any decision. What i know is: > "The woman and the man guilty of fornication/adultery,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment." > — Qur'an, Sura 24 (An-Nur), ayat 2 what i found: > It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has decreed for every son of Adam his share of zina, which he will inevitably commit. The zina of the eyes is looking, the zina of the tongue is speaking, one may wish and desire, and the private parts confirm that or deny it.” "Nor come nigh to fornication/adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)." Is her action leading to a specific hadd, if yes, is there a Special rule for disabled offenders? Who would be responsible to carry out the hadd in this case? I hope that i asked my question correctly and I am great ful for any response, criticism and correction.

I want to ask what is the meaning of "inherit the earth" in Quran [39:74](http://legacy.quran.com/39/74) ? > "And they will say, "Praise to Allah , who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers." Does this verse indicates that the earth is going to be created again after it's destruction but in a different form than in the first life? Does this means that in heaven there will be earth again? and the people will build life again there? I don't remember the chapter but I've read in the New Testament about some similar sayings about the Kingdom of God in the afterlife. Could this be related?

I'm going through very hard times and I am really sad.So sometimes during salah I cry and tears drop without making any sound. Is my prayer valid if I cry out of sadness ? Please note when I am crying, I am not crying out of fear of Allah. Its just out of sadness I am crying.

I was in a relationship and in order to avoid zinnah we decided to get married. I was a girl of 24 years then and during the process of nikkah my guardian or any of my relatives was not present, I was alone. The presiders were all strangers to me. Moreover I did not recite kalma or say qubool hai ... I simply signed a paper. **Is this nikkah valid???** It has been two years since then and eventually the relationship did not last. **Do i need to have talaq to move forward for a marriage????**

Yesterday, we went to the mosque to perform Eid ul-Fitr salat prayer, which occurred between fajr (dawn prayer) and zuhr (noon prayer). For some reason, we performed takbir three times at various points during salat. I've never encountered this before, not even at other nearby mosques. **Question**: Why did we do takbir three times during Eid ul-Fitr prayer? In case it matters, it was at the Xining Road Mosque in Tianjin, China (西宁道清真寺 ) which would mostly be Hui Muslims , which I find generally follow the Sunni Hanafi Madhhab (see Gedimu ).

Can women slaughter as per hanafi fiqh? Do we have evidence from ahadith that mention women slaughtering outside hanafi fiqh?

Is it legal per Islam or is there any indication in the qur'an to take a salary when someone in a virtual bench person working in an IT company? Not working because he or she did not get work or assignment from the employer during a virtual bench period (2 months).

Why does an innocent buried murdered baby end up in hell? > ‘Amir reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying : > > The woman who buries alive her new-born girl and **the girl who is buried alive both will go to Hell**. This tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Mas’ud from the Prophet (May peace be upon him) to the same effect through a different chain of narrators. > > https://quranx.com/Hadith/AbuDawud/DarusSalam/Hadith-4717/

The Quran states: >The Messiah, son of Mary, is no more than a messenger; like whom messengers have passed away; and his mother was trustworthy, they used to eat the food. See how We clarify the signs for them, then see how they deviate. (5:75) Now, we come to the fact that the Quran here affirms that Jesus (SAW) was the Messiah. But the Jews rejected him, and rightly so in their point of view because he didn't seem to fulfil any of the requirements for the deliverer. So by saying that Jesus (SAW) is the messiah, why does God deny his previous revelation (the Old Testament) itself?
