Also according to islamweb.net this Hadith is sahih
We know that animals don't shed tears out of sadness. Then why does this Hadith say it was shedding tears out of sadness?

Made a mistake in Salat with a mispronunciation accident
During sujood in the second rakat, I said Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaa, Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaa, and then in the third time of saying it I said Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaam by accident. Does that invalidate my prayer? I also did sujood sahw for that mistake.

I have committed a huge mistake. I am 12 and have a huge question. In the past, about a year or two ago, I used to talk about zodiac stars (I only just hear about shirk back then and didn't know much of it as I do now) and astrology often and I didn't know really About it at the time bc I thought I could just do it as a hobby, but I realized just now that might have fallen for it and I am frightened that I'm not going to enter Jannah and when I have made Dua so much I don't feel relieved and I find myself with zodiac videos on my for you page and I am so confused and scared. I am on the verge of tears writing this. I also want Allah to forgive all my sins that I made in the past today and future so this cloud of guilt in my head disappears. I am a Sunni and I would love if a Hanafi or Sunni replies. Jazak'Allah Khair

I've got questions about oaths.
I know that if you say oaths in your mind they're not valid but,
1. What happens if you hum the oath whether your lips are closed or not?
2. Also what if you're saying an oath in your mind but your mouth is open? (And you're not sure if you could've said it out loud accidentally or if yk you didn't say it out loud)
Thank you :)

Assalam ´aleykoum,
I think that sometimes I may have pronounce « … na’budu’a… » instead of « … na’budu wa… » in the fifth verse of Surah Al Fatiha. Does that change the meaning? Should I repeat my prayer if I realize this error and the time of the prayer is not over? Should I make up the other prayers from previous days where I may have make this mistake.

Mistake in surat al fatiha
Salam when I was reading surah al fatiha during my prayer I think I said "Alhamdul rabil alameen" instead of "Alhamdulilahi rabil alameen". If I make that mistake in the previous prayer do I have to repeat that prayer after the next prayer?

lately there is a serious issue of haram meat being labeled as halal and it has been consumed by muslims unknowingly. I read somewhere that any food that is haram or its source is from haram source will render it to become part of the flesh of the person who ate and will weaken his iman. Is this correct? Pls advice preferably with hadiths to deny or support. Jazakillah

What to do if I forget surah during salat?
My Question is **"What To do if I forget surah in salaah?"**. Should I go to ruku or should I read any other surah instead of the surah I forgot. Few days back it happened to me and I just started reading another surah. Was I right?

As-salaam 'Alaykum. I got my period in almost two years ago in 2019. I was 11 when I got my period. I thought that praying and fasting were based on age. This year was the first year I fasted for all of Ramadan and have been praying consistently. I was not aware that once a girl sees her period that fasting and praying become mandatory. Do I have to make up the prayer and fasts that I missed even though I was didn't know I was supposed to?

I’ve made a really bad mistake recently and I’m terrified of the consequences of what’s going to happen to me. I’ve become severely depressed and the only thing that’s keeping me going is my belief in Allah and Islam. Please can you tell me a dua that’ll help me through this, one that’ll protect me from the consequences of this awful mistake I made that has ruined my life ,one that’ll help restore my peace of mind and one that’ll ensure everything is ok. I am genuine in my repentance for all the wrongdoings I’ve committed. Please help me I don’t think I’m going to recover from this.

What is the meaning of the hadith about giving your opinion about the Quran?
I have read a hadith in Tirmidhi which states: > قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ بِرَأْيِهِ فَأَصَابَ فَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ " > > The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says (something) about the Qur'an according to his own opinion and he is correct, yet h...
I have read a hadith in Tirmidhi which states:
> قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ بِرَأْيِهِ فَأَصَابَ فَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ "
>
> The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says (something) about the Qur'an according to his own opinion and he is correct, yet he has committed a mistake."
>
> Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 2952
What is the meaning of this hadith? For example if someone reflects on the Quran and he shares his reflections with others, that is a form of opinion regarding the Quran. Is this wrong?

Assalamu alaikum wr wb... I have started to pray this year however I have just realized that when I am sitting in tashahud I have been saying *"assalaamu 'alaynaa ubdillah swalaheen"* instead of *"assalaamu 'alaynaa **wa 'alaa 'ibaadil- laahissaliheen"***.
Would this error make all my previous prayers I made this year invalid? I feel really bad right now and I made dua to Allah swt asking for forgiveness because of this error I have been making in prayer all this time. This is really eating me up inside, I am feeling really regretful for not praying correctly... Is there anything I can do or should I just accept that they will not be accepted by Allah swt?

This is a copy of another question I deleted. That question was unclear and when edited it seemed nobody got to see the edited version. Therefore, here is a more clear version:
Basically I done wudu and prayed my namaz zuhr and asr. After this I looked in the mirror and realised I had dry skin on my nose. I went to the bathroom washed the dry skin and realised after that it returns to its dry state and nothing changes.So it seems that I shed skin and then new skin is exposed that has no water on it. I don't know if this has happened before the wudu or after so is my wudu invalid? If so what should I do with my Zuhr and Asr prayer?
