Is sharing a meme/video on social media that contains shirk because you wanted to share the other parts but not the shirk , kufr?
For example you share a tiktok to your friends but in that tiktok there is shirk in it (ex:someone in the video says oh my fucking god) but you do not approve the shirk part and you share it because of the other parts of the video which you found funny or interesting. This is certainly haram, but i...

I accidently gave a translation of a tafsir of a verse to a non muslim about 2 weeks ago. I believed it was OK at the time. Recently I found out that the translation was not 100% accurate. Nevertheless it did not contain any very haram our unislamic ideas.
I gave this information to a non muslim who most likely is still non muslim so they won't have believed it.
Am I obliged to correct the mistake for them? I read somewhere that you are obliged to correct mistakes if you giving a false hadith to someone but my case may be different, I am unsure

In mainstream Islam, Quran desecration such as burning the Quran, is widely regarded as highly disrespectful and offensive, irrespective of the person's beliefs. This perspective suggests that such acts should not be permitted in any state. However, this view seems to conflict with the principle of freedom of speech, as exemplified by the 2023 Quran desecration in Sweden .
**My question is whether there exists an established, possibly liberal, interpretation of Islam, particularly within fiqh or Islamic jurisprudence, that allows for the burning of the Quran by non-Muslims (e.g., atheists) within a state that protects freedom of speech. If such an interpretation exists, what reasoning does it provide to support this stance?**
I guess the answer may depend on whether the state is Islamic.
I am aware that in Sweden, during July 2023, nearly all heads of established mosques called for a total ban on Quran desecration . Nonetheless, I am interested in exploring whether Islamic legal thought encompasses varying viewpoints on this matter and how they reconcile it with the principle of freedom of speech.

There's this Narration in Musanaf al Shaybah which says that Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar ibn khattab (RA) burned the house of Fatima (RA) and Killed her.I need help to understand if this narration is weak or not.
The narration:
> "3734 - Muhammad bin Bishr narrated to us Ubayd Allah bin Omar narrated to us Zaid bin Aslam narrated to us on the authority of his father, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr after the Messenger of God, Ali and Al-Zubair used to go to Fatima, the entire house of the Messenger of God, and consult her and reconsider their matter. When this reached Omar bin Al-Khattab, he left until He entered upon Fatima and said: O daughter of the Messenger of God, no, by God, there is no one more beloved to her than your father, and no one is more beloved to us after your father than you. By God, I do not know that. If these people come together, they will stop you if I order them to burn the house over them. He said: When Omar came out, they brought her, and she said. **You know that Omar has responded to me, and he has promised, by God, to his servants that they will burn the house for you, and he swore to God that they would carry out what he swore to do, so they departed of sound mind**, so make up your mind and do not return to me, so they would turn away from it, so they did not go to it until they came to Abu Bakr.
Please help me with this narration , is it saheeh or not. JazakAllahu Khayran

Is operating on female patient in this specific condition haram?
I am a MD radiologist. To give some context I live in a non Muslim majority country. I work in a hospital 6 days a week. In our department there are 5 radiologist including me.

I am a MD radiologist. To give some context I live in a non Muslim majority country. I work in a hospital 6 days a week. In our department there are 5 radiologist including me. Only 1 of them is female and rest all are male. And I am the only muslim there. I chose radiology because I had a good rank and it is also the top sought profession with a small closing rank.
Now our typical day involves CT scan, MRI, USG not only of pregnancy but also to evaluate organs like the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas, to examine muscles, tendons, and joints, Vascular ultrasound,Thyroid ultrasound, Pediatric ultrasound, Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram), Prostate ultrasound, Other Ultrasound-guided procedures. Now we do have a good patient load hence everyone is busy. For female reproductive part disease related and breast related issues the female radio handles it almost 99% of time and also there is patient preference in this case. Rest work is done by division of labour.
Now as far as how work is concerned there is a male and a female attendent for respective genders regardless of the doctor's gender they do all covering, uncovering positioning, etc. We keep a device on belly(for ultrasonography) or the parts(for other disorders, not pelvis and breast for me) and it captures the image(so no direct physical contact), I study and report. A or two family member is always present and the attended is also there for full time.
I always keep my gaze lowered, don't look anything more or less than what area is required, nor go in excess talking with women. Sometimes there is emergency for female patients and I by duty have to attend it(we have divided work load).
Am I sinful for operating on female patients, like ultrasonography or say artery blockage in hand, broken bone or blockage in back?

How should one get married if they have committed sexual immoralities?
I am a muslim male. When I was a child a person older than me had anal sex with me several times. When I was a teenager I had oral sex with one of my cousins. Does that make me a fornicator? According to Quran 24:3 A fornicator does not marry except a fornicator. How can I get married?

Salams all - I'm wondering about charging money for an Islamic dream interpretation service that I provide via my online tool Dreamstate (https://dreamstateai.replit.app/) .
It costs me money to provide the tool (about $100 per month for various AI products that support authentic interpretations), not to mention the time away from paid work to build and improve it (significantly more $). The first 3 dreams are free, then I currently charge a minimal amount for lifetime unlimited access ($4). I have had feedback that Islamic services like this should be free entirely. But if I charge nothing, I can't continue to work on it.
As a skilled revert who is otherwise unsupported financially, should I give up on building Islamic tools and go get other work? Then my skills would not be used to benefit the ummah. How does this work? I understand the premise but surely the context matters. Have genuinely been wondering about this for a while so any insights from anyone = appreciated

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
It has been said that each prayer has a specific hikmah behind it.
For instance, it has been said that for fajr, it was because Adam عليه السلام saw darkness and became afraid and so prayed a rak’at due to fear, and when it became light he prayed another rak’at due to gratefulness — and this became Fajr.

He Provided evidence for one and it follows :
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Volume 1, Page 391, Hadith 3946): It is narrated that some of the companions, including Abdullah ibn Zubayr and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, prayed with their hands at their sides. The report goes:
"عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِذَا صَلَّى تَرَكَ يَدَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَضَعْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى."
Translation: Ibn Jurayj said: "When Ibn Zubayr prayed, he would leave his hands (by his sides) and not place one of them over the other."
Please tell me if any of those companions including Abdullah ibn zubayr praying with hands on side is authentic or not. jazakAllahu khayrann

Working for a car leasing company as a frontend developer

My brother works for a car leasing company as a frontend developer, and he has been for 6-months now. Last week he realized something disturbing: there is a riba component to the cars that customers rent. It may be naive of us, but no one in our household was aware of this.
Now, he does not actively work with riba related transactions (he doesn't make the contracts, doesn't witness it, and he doesn't do any calculations with riba), he just makes the user interface for the website and mobile app where customers can assemble their car etc.
I am worried that his work there is haram because of the riba aspect of car leasing, even when his involvement would be more indirect.
And if his work is haram, would it be okay for him to stay with the company while he actively applies to other lawful companies with the intention to leave when he gets the chance? He is still a junior frontend developer so his job options are a bit limited (companies here are mostly searching for medior or senior developers) so it might take him a while to find something else. Would it be okay for him to stay with his current company until he finds something else so he doesn't face a financial loss & he continues gaining more experience so it will also in sha Allah be easier for him to find another job?
It is very important to him (and to me as well) that his work is pure and halal. His intentions are to work somewhere lawful so he is very worried and upset right now, so your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
A worried sister

Assalamu Alaykum, I have Jummah prayer in my school alhamdulillah but Dhuhr is at 1pm right now and we do the prayer during lunch at 12:00-12:45 pm. The prayer plus the khutbah takes 30 minutes. If we were to do the Jummah at its proper time, we would miss almost half of the lesson (for reference, a period is 75 minutes). My school had already asked a local Sheikh and he said it would be permissible to pray earlier. My friends are concerned about the source. Would it be permissible to pray Jummah earlier due to our circumstance?
