May I know how many surahs in the Qur'an that begins by "wa"? Ex. Wal asr, wa shams... Etc.

Anyone can make a claim that a food is halaal. There are food and imported meat that are certified halaal. But, these are imported from Muslim minority countries (like imported chicken from Brazil). So is such a certification sufficient? If not, what are the other requirements that are necessary to establish the halal status of a food, if one doesn't witness the slaughter?

As the title says, what is considered a non-fighter in each of the 4 madhabs? Is it restricted to only woman and children, or is the status extended to other categories like the elderly, monks, and laborers? I understand that there have been a couple posts similar to this, however unlike those posts, I am specifically looking for a comprehensive explanation of what each of the 4 madhabs' mutamads relay regarding this topic.

So we all hear that Islam prohibits against fighting civilians. I’m just trying to understand whether that’s a modern term in terms of Islamic jurisprudence or not. To my knowledge, only men who are of age to fight are allowed to be k*lled if they refuse Islam or Jizya (if they have the option of Jizya). So, is permissibility to k*ll based purely on status and capacity (being an able-bodied adult male) alone and is enough of a reason, or does actual ability to fight matter aswell? In other words, does Islamic law consider every adult man a lawful target regardless of whether he has any fighting skill or combat role? I’m asking what type of grown up, healthy men can be fought and k*lled.

I'm researching several verses from the Qur'an and as it is my first time to delve into the Islamic religion I am having difficulty with some of the translations and such. > 65: Divorce, verse 4, says, Pickthall, "And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him." But then we see... > 65: Divorce, verse 4 says, Sahih International Translation, "And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease." I've had it presented to me that this verse encourages marrying underage girls but as far as I can tell it has nothing to do with underage women but rather women undergoing menopause? Or reaching the age where they no longer experience menses. Does this verse discuss an underage wife or simply a wife who is too old to menstruate?

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh my question is i saw some people uses allah's name for their houses like (Al-kabeer,Al noor )If the name has a meaning or refers to a function or quality that only Allah is capable of, like creating, resurrecting, lordship, etc. then it is not permissible to call a human being by these names how can someone use Allah's name for their house,Allah's names all have Alif-Laam at the beginning (eg. Ar-Rahman, Al-'Aleem). This prefix (alif-lam) makes a very strong form of the name; this prefix is unique to Allah alone please correct me if im wrong is it a huge sin? may allah guides us to the straight path.

I am aware that a Muslim can sell their slaves to another Muslim and then the one who bought the slave would have to wait for the menstrual cycle to have intercourse in order to be sure that the female concubine is not pregnant but is the Muslim allowed to sell their female slave to a non Muslim? Because a non Muslim would not wait for the cycle and could potentially exploit her make her do prostitution and other evil hideous acts

I understand that it is wrong to kiss or touch a woman that is not your lawful spouse but my question is : does it break the fast to touch, kiss, or do any non sexual acts with her ?

So I read books at school for class and I read this book with a bird on the cover but I cover it up with a sticky note I could read other books without animal cover but I really like it so is it haram or halal

How did the Muslims decide and organize the land tenure system after conquering Egypt?

Can we name a baby girl like 'Ayah Filza'. Is it giving combined meaning properly. As we searched ayah referring to miracle meaning & filza means 'rose from heaven'. So combined it means miracle from heave or sign from heaven kind of. Is it good to go with this name. Please provide us some clarity on this.

I have a little but not much knowledge of Arabic. Although **God** is called `Al-Karim, I hear the invocation Ya Karim, but I never heard the invocation Ya Al-Karim or Ya-l-Karim. Same for other names of **God**: the definite article disappears from the vocative. Just as it would in English: May the Lord have mercy on us vs. O Lord, have mercy on us` One big exception: `Ya Allah, which I've heard lots. (With definite separation between the end of Ya and the start of Allah, there are three different "a" sounds. I'm not talking about yalla as in let's go`.) Now I see that when my English translation of the Quran has `O God, the original is Allahuma`. I don't know anything like this construction, where someone is addressed by tacking "-uma" at the end or something similar. Though as I say, I'm not at all knowledgeable in Arabic and might easily have missed something. So is there a difference? Is `Ya Allah in the Quran and I missed it? Is Allahuma preferred? Is Allahuma` a unique construction?

I have tried to do some research but got mixed answers I want to know if reading spicy books(books that have sex) is haram. I can 100% tell you that I won’t do anything like this in real life. I just need a yes or no.

Asalamulaykum Warahmatulahi Wabarakatuh! I'd like to know whether or not it is halal to read a book to check if it has haram; I want to read a book in my house to make sure it doesn't contain anything haram if someone else wishes to read that book, would I be sinful if I found anything haram in there? As a side note, these books are mostly only words, not images, so if they were to say anything haram, would I be sinful if I find it?

Assalam Alaikum. I work as a laborer in a warehouse. My daily task is to physically pick and handle boxes containing food. These boxes are then placed on pallets, and later those pallets are transported by truck to stores for customers to buy. - About 15% of the boxes I pick and handle **daily** contain **pork**. I don't physically touch the pork, but the box containing it. - About 10% of meat products like beef, lamb and chicken are not labelled halal - status is unknown. - The remainder 75% are non - meat products like vegetables and bread. I have to pick and handle these boxes that contain pork, and I am unable to avoid this - it is part of my job and I have to do it and I do this everyday I am there. Handling pork is mandatory in this role. I am not in sales, ownership, or management. I am manual labor / logistics. **I am paid a wage for labor**, not commission or pork sales. 1. Do I have to leave this job? Is it haram? I do not want to do any other role in this company but this role. 2. Is my income haram? If so, how much? All of it or only the percentage of pork? I am **not** in **necessity** or in dire need. I have money saved up and can live comfortably and find an alternative job. If you can please help me with this and give me some guidance with references I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

I was born Muslim but as I grew up I started having doubts . I believe in shahada but I doubt the authenticity of the Quran . I am a good performer and go for salat when I visit my family but I do not believe in doing it otherwise .I do not fast in Ramadan I do not know if I will ever want to do Haj. I have recently met a Muslim woman who I love a lot and she is also in love with me . I shared my doubts regarding my faith and now she is concerned that our marriage may not be halal . I do not want to lie to her and want to know if our marriage will be a sin for her or a halal marriage.

Not to cause argument, i only want to clear any misunderstandings that i may have. According to Sunnis, Fadak was inheritance, in contrast to endowment. But Al Suyuti seems to take the latter view in his tafsir. Al Suyuti comments on surah 17 verse 26: “Abu Saeed al Khudri and Abdullah Ibn Abbas narrate that when the verse relating to giving rights to kindred was revealed, the Prophet called Fatima Zahra (as) and gifted the land of Fadak to her”. - [Tafseer Dur al-Manthur, Vol. 4, page 177](https://shiapen.com/wp-content/uploads/BlogMedia/tafseer_dur_almanthur_v4_p177-1642247339.jpg)

**Assalamu Alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh. I'd like to ask this question that's been bothering me for a long time already. I was born Muslim, Alhamdulillah, but my parents are ex-Muslims. I haven't been a practicing Muslim as a child, but I still thought of myself as a Muslim. Later, a friend started introducing me more to Islam, and I did many research by myself, I started being a better Muslim and later learned how to pray, and now I pray all the daily prayers Subhan Allah. My parents know that I am a religious person, and they accepted me praying Alhamdulillah. And here's the main thing I'm concerned about: almost everyday, my school ends so late that I miss Dhuhr and Asr too, Astaghfirullah. I have tried praying at school, tried finding a private corner but it's extremely difficult. I have been thinking that should I talk with my teacher or my parents, but I'm also afraid they're gonna mock me etc, I don't have the courage Astaghfirullah. I feel so, so guilty even though I pray them when I come home and I come home when Maghrib time has already begun. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice? Jazak Allahu Khair!**
