Where Sharia laws are punishable by death, does Islam allow exile as an alternative?
It is claimed, for example, that women in tight clothes will be executed by the Taliban. Apparently this is because Islamic Sharia law dictates this.

It is claimed, for example, that women in tight clothes will be executed by the Taliban. Apparently this is because Islamic Sharia law dictates this. It occurs to me that the Taliban's international relations problems will be somewhat diminished if they simply exiled those who were 'incompatible' with Sharia. Does Islam, or these 'flavors' of Islam, allow exile as an alternative to execution?

Meaning of this hadith subtitle
Chapter: “And We shall set up Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection…”(58) وَأَنَّ أَعْمَالَ بَنِي آدَمَ وَقَوْلَهُمْ يُوزَنُ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ الْقُسْطَاسُ الْعَدْلُ بِالرُّومِيَّةِ وَيُقَالُ الْقِسْطُ مَصْدَرُ الْمُقْسِطِ وَهُوَ الْعَادِلُ وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُ فَهُوَ الْجَائِرُ Sahih al-Buk...
Chapter: “And We shall set up Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection…”(58) وَأَنَّ أَعْمَالَ بَنِي آدَمَ وَقَوْلَهُمْ يُوزَنُ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ الْقُسْطَاسُ الْعَدْلُ بِالرُّومِيَّةِ وَيُقَالُ الْقِسْطُ مَصْدَرُ الْمُقْسِطِ وَهُوَ الْعَادِلُ وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُ فَهُوَ الْجَائِرُ Sahih al-Bukhari 7563 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(There are) two words which are dear to the Beneficent (Allah) and very light (easy) for the tongue (to say), but very heavy in weight in the balance. They are: ''Subhan Allah wa-bi hamdihi'' and ''Subhan Allah Al-`Azim." (see Hadith 6682). I was wondering what the untranslated arabic part means: the part that starts with "the deeds of the son of Adam." Jazakullah Khair for helping

I am in my early twenties. Sometimes I wake up after my alarm clock goes off without feeling anything but whenever I check my pants, I feel like part of it is either cold or wet (it is really hard in these scenarios for me to properly identify whether it is cold or wet which is confusing) but without any stains or anything. Usually, I know when I have wet dreams (in those scenarios I wake up immediately after my discharge, and there are stains in my pant as well as I can surely tell that my pants are wet). At this stage, I am not sure whether those cold/wet scenarios are from my sweating (I do sweat at night often) or miniature versions of wet dreams. What should I do in this scenario? Do I need to perform ghusl and wash my pants? Or do I just go about performing usual daily activities Thanks

Exorcisms are conducted within some branches of Christianity (Roman Catholicism), and is common within Hinduism. I believe there is also the practice of ruqya which summons jinn and demons by invoking the names of God, in order to command them to abandon their mischiefs and to repair damage that may have been caused by jinn possession, witchcraft (sihr) or the evil eye. Are exorcisms permitted within Islam? If so, under whose authority are the jinns cast out?

Is it obligatory to educate daughters?
Is it obligatory to educate one’s daughter. I am asking this because many people argue that Islam is discriminating towards women. Can anyone give me a Hadith about it?

Can women lead in other positions
I know that a woman is not allowed to lead a country or become a judge. But is the narration in Bukhari which says “No people will succeed those who make women rule over them” general?

Why does Islam tell a slave it is haram to run away from a master?
A slave may: 1. Not be treated fairly. 2. May not be having relevant Islamic knowledge. 3. May have been captured but be having a family somewhere else. There could be many reasons why a slave would not want to be adhering to slavery to his master. Why does Islam forbid a slave from running away?

Can people form a community (jamaat) via teleconferancing to pray together?
Can people gather via teleconferencing methods to pray together, e.g., to pray the Friday prayer? I guess it's preferred to gather in person but I assume there exists certain circumstances that make gathering in person difficult/not possible, e.g., a pandemic.

Is there a contradiction between the quran chapter 34 :44 and 14:37
Sahih International: And We had not given them any scriptures which they could study, and We had not sent to them before you, [O Muḥammad], any warner.

Sahih International: And We had not given them any scriptures which they could study, and We had not sent to them before you, [O Muḥammad], any warner. Chapter 34:44 Sahih International: And those before them denied, and they [i.e., the people of Makkah] have not attained a tenth of what We had given them. But they [i.e., the former peoples] denied My messengers, so how [terrible] was My reproach. 34:45 Another translation Mohsin Khan: And We had not given them Scriptures which they could study, nor sent to them before you (O Muhammad SAW) any warner (Messenger). Mohsin Khan: And those before them belied; these have not received one tenth (1/10th) of what We had granted to those (of old), yet they belied My Messengers, then how (terrible) was My denial (punishment)! The story of Prophet Ismail Mohsin Khan:O Our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley with no cultivation, by Your Sacred House (the Kaba at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayers perfectly (Salah) so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and O Allah provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. O our Lord! Certainly, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah." (Surah Ibrahim 14:37-38) Another translation Sahih International: Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful. Is there any contradiction between these two verses. Please tell where prophet Ismail(PBUH) was send.

I share a room with my sister and the room is very small. The qiblah faces my bed so when my sister prays she is facing me. My bed is not a floor bed, it haves a platform. Meaning when she prays I am not right next to her **but I am still in front of her.** Also sometimes she wakes up before me for fajr and I am sleeping. So, my question is should I move away whenever my sister prays? Or is it okay for her to pray while I am sitting or sleeping on my bed? ***Should she put a pillow or some type of barrier just to stay safe?***
