  • Waswaas about parents' faith

    Recently, I have become a committed Muslim who prays five times a day and tries hard to avoid sins. I live in the West, and my question relates to my parents. My parents also pray five times a day, but my dad suffers from insomnia and due to his medication sometimes misses the Fajr prayer. I want to know if they committed Kufr (disbelief) verbally (I..

  • Causes of tolerable harm not prohibited

    Assalamu alaykum Islamweb. I suffer from body imbalance. My right leg is somewhat shorter than my left leg.

  • Prohibition to hit face

    Regarding the prohibition of hitting the face (as stated in a hadith), does it include hitting the face for self-defense as well?

So what about the games which contain superpowers just like.. More

  • Women ‘liking’ pictures of females who expose her adornment on social media

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question about social media. If a female 'likes' pictures of other females who expose and adorn themselves publicly, is that considered supporting their immorality? Would it be sinful for the person to 'like' the picture? Would this count as promoting immorality? (Previous fatwas do not cover this subject.) May Allaah reward.. More

  • Meaning of 'Aathaar'

    Assalaamu alaykum. I was wondering; what does the Arabic word Wa Aathaaran mean? Does it mean something left behind that we can see, or just something left behind that we could or could not see? For example, the dinosaurs left fossils, but they are in the earth and we cannot see them unless we dig the up, if you know what I mean. May Allaah reward you. .. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. I want to ask: I am a youtuber and I publish videos of reviews of mobiles, games, pc's, and so on. I give some benefits and some demerits. For games, I advise not to play them at the end of the video, and I do not publish videos about games in which there is nudity and such things. So my question is: 1. Can I publish videos like.. More

  • Benefitting from another person's idea to create a website

    Assalaamu alaykom wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuhu. My friend told me to create a website together. Maybe he does not know how to create one. Ever since that happened, I think he got me into creating websites and, maybe because of him, I started being interested in making websites. So now I have an idea for a great website, and I do not need any workers.. More

    If someone eats meat that was not properly slaughtered or food that was cooked on a grill on which bacon is also cooked, as is the case in most American restaurants, and that person then eats with a group of people one or two hours later, does the impurity transfer from their mouth to the food given that they put the food in their mouth and we all eat..
