I have a question regarding wuduu and purity. I made wuduu and I was packing my clothes as we were heading back home from travelling, as I was packing I touched my dirty clothes my accident that I put on the side for laundry to wash when I head back home (such as dirty undergarments/pajamas). I then just used some sanitiser and prayed as it was prayer time maybe after it by a couple of minutes. It’s all dry however there were all in a laundry bag all together before I transferred it to the bag. Should I redo my prayer?

Question about bad treatment from people
I wanted to ask this; if everyone always treats me bad, does that mean God doesn't like me and is punishing me?

According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charismatic_movement) :
> The **charismatic movement** is the international trend of historically mainstream Christian congregations adopting beliefs and practices similar to Pentecostalism. Fundamental to the movement is the use of spiritual gifts (charismata).
>
> Among Anglicans, the charismatic movement emerged in 1958; it reached Lutherans and Presbyterians in 1962. Among Roman Catholics, it spread around 1967. Methodists became involved in the charismatic movement in the 1970s.
In my own words, the charismatic movement emphasizes "spiritual gifts" (such as healing, prophecy, speaking in tongues, etc. -- see [1 Corinthians 12](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2012&version=NIV) for a more exhaustive list) and "ecstatic/mystical experiences" (such as the [baptism with the Holy Spirit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism_with_the_Holy_Spirit)) . In more extreme congregations, people may even display very extreme and odd behaviors, such as [shaking or trembling violently](https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/25631/is-there-a-scientific-explanation-for-dramatic-body-shaking-and-trembling-in-rel) , [behaving like animals](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/79576/are-there-any-records-of-animal-like-behaviors-outside-the-toronto-blessing) , etc.
Is there anything like this in Islam?

Consistent calendar by sight
What if at any 29th day of the month, the weather is always bad, so you can't observe anything, so that you always need to add a 30th day to the month And what if at the contrary, you can always observe the moon at the 29th day and all your months are only 29 days I think the second case can not be...
What if at any 29th day of the month, the weather is always bad, so you can't observe anything, so that you always need to add a 30th day to the month
And what if at the contrary, you can always observe the moon at the 29th day and all your months are only 29 days
I think the second case can not be possible as the moon doesn't do a cycle every 29 day but 29,5 days, so you should be able to keep a good pace with the observation
But in the first case, their calendar will be late, their year will last longer
So is there any other system (than observing at the 29th day) to correct a bad weather in order to correct the calendar, to synchronize a way or another?
It's already difficult some months where all countries have difficulties not to be synchronized (in the same country people fight each-other to know when begin ramadhan), but over a year, it's impossible (12 day difference per year maximum, so a completely different calendar depending on the country)

Asslam o alaikum to all of my brothers and sisters.. Well my question is that i have searched in google that when a person swallow his saliva while fasting is this breaks persons fast..? Everywhere it shows that swallowing saliva will not breaks persons fast but whenever i do sehri after sehri my mouth suddenly filled with water till iftari so is this ok to swallow that much saliva?.. Most people do not fell that much saliva in their mouth as i do..Mostly i spit out but after 2 or 3 mint again my mouth fill with water.. Iam not good in english but i hope you get whatever i said. My question is only that is this ok to swallow that much saliva? But it's very hard for me to not to swallow saliva while praying salah in the month of ramadan.. We don't use tissues while praying salah so i swallow my saliva because there is no any other way of spitting out while praying salah specially in the month of ramdhan

I have very severe hemorrhoids with symptoms like intense burning, itching, and throbbing. I tried treating them with an ice pack and coconut oil but I still feel the burning and itching. I usually walk to Jummah and the masjid is about 5 km away. I fear that I may have trouble walking all the way with these symptoms and will have trouble returning. Am I sinful if I do not go and pray zhuhr instead?

**Background**
According to Shia historians, one of the earliest conflicts between some of the Companions and Ahl al-Bayt is the attack on Fatima's house by Umar in order to arrest/subdue Ali, who refused to give his Bay'ah to Abu Bakr.
According to Sulaym ibn Qays, Umar set the door on fire, pushing his way into the house. Upon Fatima's resistance, Umar physically assaulted her using a sheathed sword. While this narration mentions a fight between Ali and Umar, others (Ibn Abi'l-Hadid for example) claim that Ali was busy at the Funeral of the Prophet and did not witness the incident. ibn Qays later mentions that Fatima still carried the bruises from this raid when she died soon after.
Some Shia also believe that Muhsin ibn Ali, the youngest son of Ali, brother of Husayn, was killed in miscarriage due to Umar's attack.
**How was Ali's reception?**
I fail to find later any response from Ali later on this attack; moreover, Islamic historians (both Shia and Sunnah) show later collaboration between both Ali and Umar. Although Shia books mention some clashes, none of them are related to the incident.
I personally interpret this incident (if we were to believe the narration's authenticity) to be a great insult to Ahl al-Bayt. My question is: Was there any reverberation from Ali or the early Shia of Ali on this incident? If the answer is no, why?

Asalamalaykum everyone
I am having an issue, basically what happened is that I masturbasted, and I thought all the semen had been released, so I urinated to make sure that there was no semen in the passage. a few hours later when I used the washroom, I saw some other liquid substance that was about to come out while I was peeing, but I held it in, this has happened before, when after ejaculation, I urinated and made ghusl, but after going to the washroom some hours later some sticky discharge came out after I was done peeing, there was no desire or anything, I am very confused should I do ghusl again? Or is this permissible, please help.

I have just realized when researching there is a hamza with fatha in Subhannahu ( سُبْحَا**نَهُ** وَ تَعَالَى) because anytime I hear someone say SWT, I never hear a distinct "hu" and instead they just say Subhannah wa Ta'ala.

Is it permissible in Islam to have two marriages with different marriage contracts in two countries?

However, before finalizing the first contract, both parties agreed on the...
I have two marriage contracts with the same person. The first marriage took place in a foreign country with a **lower amount of mehr**, and the second contract was executed in our home country with a **higher amount of mehr**. However, before finalizing the first contract, both parties agreed on the higher amount of haq mehr which is mentioned in the **second contract.**
The first marriage contract in the foreign country was happened because the marriage court did not permit a higher amount of mehr; there is a maximum limitation on haq mehr in that foreign country. Both our families also live in foreign countries.
We did this to simplify the visa transfer process from the bride's father to the groom. Additionally, at that time, both families could not travel to our home country for other reasons. As a result, the first marriage ceremony occurred in the foreign country, and eight months later, the second marriage took place in our home country.
**From an Islamic perspective, I would like to clarify which marriage contract holds validity, whether it is the first or the second.** I agree to pay the amount of haq mehr mentioned in the second marriage.

السلام علیکم
I wanted to ask that does a women get punished if she doesn't want to get married because she is terrified of her "naseeb" or what her life will be like?
I have met many married women (my mother, married sisters,cousins,friends, and aunts e.t.c) and almost all of their lives get ruined after marriage. Whether it is the physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse or even attempted murder they face by their in-laws or husband's or how they become physically ill due to having children.
Many women that I know have arthritis or chronic illness due to having children, and they still have to do all the housework and raise their children while being in constant pain. Many have said to me themselves that they regret marrying and are staying just for the kids.
But those kids are then facing abuse by the hands of the parents (me and my sisters included).
Due to this I have developed an immense fear of marriage and having children
I know that getting married is a sunnah and that children are a blessing but I honestly do not want to get married because just the thought of facing any of these martial problems terrifies me.
Many of my sisters and cousins that are staying in their marriages for their children are so frustrated and angry all the time that the children are being negatively impacted.
As someone that had to face this kind of abuse from her parents I do not want to harm my future children like this, that is why I do not want to get married and have children.
But my mother keeps telling me that as parents it is their farz to get their children married before dying and by refusing I am making it difficult for them to get in jannah,
I know that it is important that we have faith in Allah but when it comes to marriage I just don't want to risk it?
Does that make it difficult for me or my parents to get good deeds or get in jannah?
Will I be making Allah angry by refusing to follow the sunnah?

I want to ask a question out of curiosity, it's a matter of the afterlife.
In a hadith that I once read, that the Prophet said "death will be brought in the form of a black and white sheep, then the death will be slaughtered between heaven and hell."
Well, my question.
If death itself no longer exists, do all of Allah's creatures become immortal? Or only the inhabitants of heaven and hell?
Sorry if my question is a bit confusing.
