Parading Slave Women bare-breasted for Attracting the highest bidders or buyers
First of all, I would like to thank in advance for answering in the most kindest way. And i apologize for making my questions so big. Just wanted to let you know where i'm coming from.

First of all, I would like to thank in advance for answering in the most kindest way. And i apologize for making my questions so big. Just wanted to let you know where i'm coming from.
I have heard that previously during Imam Malik's time, some slave women were walking around or getting out of their homes bare breasted. He had strongly condemned this practice due to his understanding of the Quran/Sunnah as per this narration:
> Kitaab Al-Jami‘ of Al-Imam Ibn Abi Zayd Al-Qayrawani Al-Maliki (died
> 386 AH): He said, "He (i.e. Al-Imam Malik ibn Anas) strongly
> disapproved of the behaviour of the slave women of Madinah in going
> out uncovered above the lower garment." He said, "I have spoken to the
> Sultan about it, but I have not received a reply." He said, "Beat the
> slave women if they do that."
I am aware that slave women had a relaxed awrah compared to the free women as per the differing opinions of the various schools of thought due to their work in servile environments and veiling was prohibited as a social status indicator but in case of **fitnah** or **harassment** or **fear of trouble** they are supposed to cover themselves up as free women have to do.
I am also aware that in some point in history, there were practices of slave women being **paraded bare breasted** for attracting the highest bidders or buyers. Also I understand that a seller can adorn their slave women for attracting buyers similar to how a woman is adorned for marriage.
I understand that Islam humanizes slaves by granting them certain rights, emphasizing their emancipation, and encouraging them to be treated like family members—with dignity, kindness, and respect. Based on my understanding of the commentaries from various schools of thought, even during the inspection process in slave markets at the time of the Prophet and his companions, the environment was supposedly controlled, with minimal exposure encouraged unless absolutely necessary, and only with the genuine intention to buy could you look or touch upto some extent (over clothing in Umar R.A's case), touching prohibited in the presence of lust. (please correct me if i'm wrong).
**My Question is as follows:**
- Was bare chested display for ***auctions*** or ***convenience*** or ***parading*** them bare chested for attracting the highest bidders, is that islamic or buyers islamically sanctioned (haram or
halal)? Or was it just a corrupt practice that the masters used to do
to exploit their slave women for commercial purposes or personal
benefits? If it is halal, why? It spreads fitnah, encourages lustful
intentions,objectifies and exploits slave women, public indecency,
strips off their dignity, violates modesty rules etc which is quite
contrary to inspection which usually happens for practical reasons
out of necessity as opposed to lustful intentions.
Also please answer this as well if possible Question regarding Slave Women Inspection Limits in the marketplace Thanks!

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.

Do minor Sins become major if we do
all time same Sins?
I heard as well there is difference of oppinion in this matter too I mean if there are no minor sins,like all Sins are major Sins and no minor and repeating minor sins turns into a major sin, minor sins lead to major sins, and not considering minor sins a big deal is a major sin, then it sure sounds like every single Muslim will be going to Hell besides these great holy men.

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?

My wife has decided to separate because of reason that has happened is beyond repair. She asked me to get out of the house and I did, I reassured kids I am going to be back as they are still under 10. But my wife has decided to be separate. I am in another city at my relative. She been talking to kids about what happened and how dad is not gonna live with them. I have met them but she is not happy for me to meet like that.
I want to know what rights I have on my kids, how can we make sure kids upbringing is co parenting. What goes Islam says about it?
This is the second time she told me to get out of the house even I tried to separate the bed once but she won’t leave me alone. She has anger management issues.
I wanna know in light of Quran how and what to continue when kids are involved.

Peace be upon you. I dealt with a large company, and they were unfair in some of their dealings. They took more money than the contract stipulated, and I paid them money for services, but they didn't do it, which created for me many problems with my business. They didn't abide by all the terms of the contract. Since they are a large company with lawyers, I couldn't do anything but terminate the contract. They took about $7,000 from me in total.
However, when they paied the final invoice, they made a mistake and overcharged me by $10,000.
Should I inform them of the mistake? Or should I just ignore it since they didn't treat me honestly?
The amout that they give my error is more that what i owe them, but if i signal that to them i will be forced to give back all the 10k
May God bless you.

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

The question asks why a perfect God would want constant praise-does that make Him narcissistic?
The question asks why a perfect God would want constant praise-does that make Him narcissistic? It challenges whether worship reflects God's need for validation or human projections of ego onto the divine.

I joined a Ramadan competition recently. They award the winners by measuring the deeds we did to Allah and the person who has the highest points is awarded. Daily they update a form to fill, it basically consists of the number of Thahajjath rakaths prayed, juzu completed, number of dikrs done, amount of sadakah given, number of tharaweeh prayers. Based on the number we get points on daily basis. My point is, is it right to measure what we do to Allah and tell to them?
This question rose because I don't count the number of dikrs I do because I do it with pleasure and go countless, also I don't feel it's right to measure what we do to Allah because Allah SWT doesn't give us countless blessings not by measuring. It's just eternal is what I think.
I want to know whether this competition is right or wrong and if its wrong I am ready to quit at anytime.

This is a question which requires some fiqh knowledge. I just want to discuss the fiqh of it, so would prefer, if personal biases are set aside in answering the question.
My question is, would it be a correct understanding, Islamically, that when the ruling of a matter is “permissible” in the shariah rather than “Mustahhab” or “Sunnah” one can weigh the pros or cons of that matter and make own personal decision on whether to practice it or not? I ask this specifically in the context of polygamy.
If one can think to potential harms polygamy might cause - such as pain to the wife/woman and possibly statistics that point to harms would it be correct to advice against polygamy weighing its pros and cons? For eg drinking energy drinks is permissible but it’s not good for you - so you may discourage it. Just like that would it be islamically fine to discourage polygamy? Would it be different in the case of polygamy because polygamy is explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an? What is in my mind as I think about this issue is verse 1 of Surah tahrim.
By the way, for the benefit of this discussion, I am referring to the opinion of those scholars who consider polygamy only permissible and not Sunnah. I understand there are other opinions but that is not what this discussion is about.
Like I said I am interested in the fiqh so I would appreciate someone wijt some knowledge of fiqh and for personal biases to be set aside.
