Is it allowed to be friends with Christians?
The Quran says: > O you who believe! Do not consider Jews and Christians as your helpers and friends, because they help each other. If any of you consider them your helpers and friends, then he himself is one of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoers. (Surah 5, 51 ayat) I have a Christian...

I have a Christian friend. Question: am I allowed to be friends with him if he doesn't influence me religiously?

Is unnecessarily staying in a more expensive hotel and charging it to my employer a sin?
My work usually pays for my accommodation as I travel. Ordinarily, I stay in the cheapest possible place (e.g. backpackers), but sometimes I stay in more expensive places even though it's not strictly necessary. There'll be some justifications, e.g. the conference will be more convenient to get to;...
My work usually pays for my accommodation as I travel. Ordinarily, I stay in the cheapest possible place (e.g. backpackers), but sometimes I stay in more expensive places even though it's not strictly necessary. There'll be some justifications, e.g. the conference will be more convenient to get to; I didn't have time to optimize my bookings; I don't want to make my lab look like it's "cheap"; to avoid staying in mixed-gender accommodation.
**Question**: Is unnecessarily staying in a more expensive hotel and charging it to my employer a sin?
Depending on how you look at it, this resembles "theft"---I could send a smaller bill to my employer by staying at lower quality accommodation. My employer is not going to get grumpy at me (usually others stay in nicer accommodation than I require).

I read ,or let's say I write stories about two men loving each other. These stories do not contain any explicit scenes and the focus is not at all on sexual points and in reality I myself am not at all attracted to the same gender but I am really really addicted to writing and imagining these stories without sharing them with others. Is the sheer topic of them being the same gender haram? Is reading/writing these stories considered Zina of heart/eyes?

In my very possibly mistaken belief, there is a thin line between religion and superstition that we should not cross.
> I want to know whether the activity of dream interpretation is haram according to Quran and sahih al-hadith.
There are many ways to do dream interpretation, in particular I'm talking about the type that [this website](http://www.myislamicdream.com/) provides, for example [like this entry about horse](http://www.myislamicdream.com/search.html?txtSearch=horse&cmdSearch=Search) .
It cites people's words about the dreams. But people must not make things up, what is their basis to talk about all these dreams? Only what God revealed through Quran and through Muhammad (PBUH) can be a reference, all the rest can only be hearsay, which is a sin. Does that mean such activities should be haram?

Ruling on Fiverr's (freelance platform) commission for a permanent client

I and my brother worked online as the freelance developers through Fiverr.
I gave an interview to a client in November/December 2020 for my brother and myself in which I mentioned that we will both work for the client. Back then I was working on another job. I tried to work for the client but I could not work with him until April 2021 because I could not manage two jobs. Then, I decided all terms and conditions of my work with the client directly on whatsapp at the end of March.
Fiverr mentions in their terms and conditions that all communications and money should only go through their platform on which they charge around 20%. My mother said to get payments directly from the client from now on because the client is permanent now and we have already paid a lot of commission to Fiverr monthly so there is no need to pay anymore.
My question is that is it permissible if I get the payments directly from client instead of getting through Fiverr? I work for the client on monthly basis and do I have to keep paying a hefty amount to Fiverr each month? Fiverr's headquarters are also located in Israel so I don't want to do business with them. Can I close my account on Fiverr and get the money from the client directly because I would no longer be obliged to their terms and conditions?

Asalamu Alaykum. I play a roblox game called "Bee Swarm Simulator" and the overall theme of this game to me is halal. You just collect bees and go to fields and collect pollen from flowers and just collect bee types and upgrade gear. However, I have one concern with it. There is something called a "Wind shrine" in the game and from the name its a shrine. You dont actually worship it but you have to use it for quests and to use it you have to "offer" or just give a certain item to it in exchange for something else. I want to know if that is haram and shirk in anyway?

Is hitting men considered a Zina
There might be circumstances which result in me hitting men (non mehram) in anger or disgust. The contact of my hand with the man's face/arm/back is purely for hitting, but is that acceptable?
