As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I hope this message finds you well. I have a question that has been deeply troubling me and affecting my faith, and I sincerely seek your guidance and knowledge. I am struggling to understand how Allah, who is Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful), can punish someone for eternity in Hell. If a person lives for a short time in this world — perhaps 70 or 80 years — how can their mistakes, no matter how great, justify an eternal punishment? From my understanding, even if someone fully knows the truth of Islam yet rejects it until death, the concept of eternal punishment feels difficult to reconcile with Allah’s infinite mercy. In my human perspective, I feel that I would never punish someone endlessly for a finite lifetime of mistakes. Of course, I know my understanding is limited, but this creates a deep conflict in my heart. The only reasoning I can think of is that perhaps the soul, even after being in Hell for unimaginable lengths of time, still refuses to accept Allah — but then again, Allah created us and has complete power over our nature. Could He not have created us all to eventually enter Jannah, even if at different levels, so that His perfect justice and perfect mercy are both fulfilled? I ask this question with humility and sincerity, not out of disrespect, but because I genuinely wish to understand and strengthen my iman. I would be deeply grateful for your explanation. JazakAllahu khayran

Women aren't permitted to show their hair to non-mahrams. Lets say that there was a wedding, and lots of non-mahram men were present. Will the woman be allowed to wear a wig (and style it) so she does not show her hair to non-mahrams? Not necessarily at a wedding, but just in public. Can a woman wear a wig to cover her hair instead of some sort of scarf (hijab)?

I too my shahada on March 9th 2025. I was wondering can I possible marry a Muslim Man, while going through the divorce process from my ex (Non Muslim) husband. We have been separated since June 2024. I also have a protective order against him for me and our 3 children. I have no form of communication with him. I have actually tried to have him served 2 times with papers and now he has left the state that I reside in. I have no way of getting in contact with him and do not wish to have any communication with him. My problem is I dont have any Muslim men in my family and Im not a part of a Masjid so I don`t have an Imam. What would some of my options be??

I somehow come across a Question in Quora that claim did Muhammad(sw)copied from Thalmud as Sura 5:32 and Misnah Sanhedrin 4:5 is too similar,I dont have much knowledge about it so after googling I told if Misnah is Oral torah than God just confirmed it in Quran but she show me this "English Explanation of Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5:1" https://www.sefaria.org/English_Explanation_of_Mishnah_Sanhedrin.4.5.1?lang=bi , What does it mean?Was this jewish law created by jewish rabbi and not oral torah?She also mocked that Quran challenged no one would be able to produce a work like it but people already produced something like that way before Quran and Quran copied it. Actually what is this misnah sanhedrin and how to reconcile this with Quran?

I have been fantasizing about my mother and sister since I was 17. Now I'm 25 and I still turned-on when I have such feelings. It is really the only thing that makes me happy. I'm not willing to act upon my feelings. These are just thoughts in my mind that really makes me relaxed while masturbating. They are just fantasies. I'm not harming anybody. Is it haram?

It is generally observed that exorbitantly high mehr/sedaq are set as the condition for marriage by the bride (or her family who represent her). This thing has the potential to set forth the idea of marriage primarily for the sake of material benefits rather then spiritual ones, coupled with the possibility of breading social wrongs and disrupting it's very fabrics, cynicism etc. Although, the wife has the right to get her alimony. But is it permissible to set forth demands, in the prenuptial, so exorbitantly high that marriage tends to become a cause for bad rather then good? Is there a suggested/advisable alimony that should be demanded?

Can you provide a Sahih hadith that clearly states Aisha (RA) attained puberty at 9 before her marriage was consummated?

I have a question about Hadith 3199, Book 59, Hadith 10. In there is told by Abu Dar that he heard from Muhammad(pbuh) that the sun at sunset travels to the Throne of Allah and has to get permission before it is allowed to rise up again. It ends with telling that that is is what verse 36:38 of the Quran is refering to. Is this a correct Hadith? The chain must be correct to make it inside Sahih Bukhari and the narrator must be a trustworthy person. But is it possible that he heard it wrong from Muhammad(pbuh), misunderstanded it or even confused it with other things? In the past it would not be as strange as it is now in this scientific age. We know now that the earth rotates around the sun and around itself. It is not the sun that goes around the earth. The day that the sun comes up from the west will be caused by the earth that starts to rotate in the opposite way. And the sun too is moving inside the Milky Way galaxy and I though that the verse in the Hadith refers to that last movement instead of refering to the sunset and the sunrise. We also know that the sun at sunset is still shining at the opposite part of the earth. If we think at night that the sun went to the Throne of Allah what should the people at the other side of the earth think while for them it is day on that same moment? Is it just me who does not understand how that is possible, or is science not that far yet, or is it symbolic? Can it be misunderstood and narrated by a good man through a correct chain?

Assalamualaikum I'm a girl and I want to be a police officer here in Sweden. But I don't know if I'm allowed to be one because, for example, I have to touch someone if I'm going to arrest them. What if they don't want me to touch them when they're arrested, but I have to because they might be suspects or even guilty? What if I have to touch people who aren't mahrams?

Are dimmis allowed to propagate their faith?

As I was fasting I had sexual thoughts and got aroused as I continued to be in that state, I got wet.

I searched a lot to get an answer but they're different opinions, **please help me and let me know if I need to do ghusl to fast again ? And is my current fast in which I got wet ,is it accepted?**

Assalamu aleykum ikhwan I have a question I know that a lot of scholars said that it's allowed to marry off your little daughter without her consent but is it allowed that the girl when she becomes an adult to cancel that marriage what does the ijma of the scholars say about it?

My brother who's been making dua for 10 years, day and night, for a cure and nothing has changed so he said to me he will never make dua again as it's a waste of time. He said "I wasted all that time and tears for nothing...." My question is: Can anyone prove to me dua really works? Because God said call me and I will answer. Islam is confusing and don't tell me there's three ways of answering dua.

I was 19 years old and my uncle gave me money which he said I would need to return at the rate of gold. So basically if for example he gave me 100 PKR - he would consider it as an equivalent amount of gold on the day he would loan me the money. The loan for studies and was given over a period of time. In the monetary terms, I have paid him twice the amount and the loan is still outstanding. Someone said that in Islam it would be considered as an interest (riba) in Islam!

In [this answer](https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/39757/17702) it is claimed that Non-Muslim women need a Muslim wali to get married under sharia rule: > the wali(guardian) of the Christian woman is a Muslim In a comment to it, it is claimed that Non-ahl-kitab Non-Muslim women need a wali as well: > a Muslim wali is only needed for a Muslim lady or a lady which is not of among people of the book Both these claims are surprising to me as I had never come across similar claims. It was my understanding that in matters of family law, dhimmis were mostly left to their own devices. **Question:** which madhahib (schools of law) require that a Non-Muslim woman must have a wali for getting married, and which of those require the wali to be a Muslim? --- **Remark:** The accepted answer does not offer references for the individual madhahib; if you have any, please add them as an answer.

I am a developer. A client asked me to set up a system that collects public real estate data from a site like ImmoScout. The data is public (property details, no copyrighted material like images or descriptions), but the site’s Terms of Service forbid scraping. In some projects, I personally code the scraper. In other projects, I don’t code the main scraper — I just build the infrastructure around it, using a third-party API like Apify that does the scraping. 1. In both cases (building the scraper myself or using a third-party scraper), is it haram if it violates the site’s ToS? 2. if the client keap using the tool, would that be considered continuously participating in sin (siyyi’ah jariyah)?

As those who don't belive in Allah due to any reason. Thus does Allah sustain and provide them as they deny his existence ?

For example, if one wanted to learn how to tie one's shoe, or something of the sort which requires the use of the hand, and can only find a video in which has a woman (in which it only shows her hands/hand movement), would it be permissible to watch the video? (or in the case of real life, would it be permissible to watch how the woman uses her hands in order to learn the skill?) What about in the case of not focusing on the woman's hands and instead focusing on how she uses them?
