What does Islam say about conjoint twins who are adults, cannot be separated and wish to get married? Is it haram for them to ever get married, because they are two different individuals and cannot be married to one spouse? Is marriage categorically forbidden for them in Islam and if yes, what options do they have to satisfy their needs without committing any sexual sins? If there are two brothers, is it possible for them to get married to two different women? How would that practically work because there would be no privacy? There have been some cases where conjoint brothers have married two sisters and have had children, but islamically that looks forbidden. M…

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah hivabarakatuh I hope you all are having a blessed day, I would like to inquire about excessively thinking about if the water has reached here and here , should I Include this or not, if I poured water over my arms and now am pouring below and doubt maybe I forgot one area on the arm earlier. Are these thoughts valid to obsesses over for someone who has OCD. Do provide answers to above questions as well... Thank you, Noor Taleb

Difficulty Finding Halal Hobbies + waswas

Salam I experience waswas/scrupulosity (I have had OCD since childhood and was diagnosed several years ago) and I know I might go overboard in determining halal from haram hobbies, so I'd like to ask other Muslims for advice. For some background, I am a 20 year old woman living in the West. I have mild depression and a short attention span, and I am concerned that by spending my time uber-seriously and in isolation I might be harming my mental health. I'm trying to find some fun halal activities to do alone and with others. Comments on previous hobbies I used to draw since I was a kid, but I'm not enjoying it anymore. Learning to draw took me down a ba…

Do I have to use soap to wash away najsul-ayn like semen? ( it is a sticky substance and I feel like if I only use water then the najasat is still there ). I ask because every time I’m in a state of junub, I have to soap every inch of my body so that I feel tahir and it takes a long time. thank you.

It is in the questions and answer sextion, it seems after i had a propaganda and misinformation campaign about me, it seems no sunni or shia takes me seriously anymore, or at least on internet question sites and fourms.

Okay, so as far as I know there aren't any topics on this matter (Silat Ar-Rahm) so I thought I would start one. Allah SWT has both commanded the believers with maintaining Silat Ar-Rahm (good relations with relatives) and warned the believers from Qata' Ar-Rahm (severing relations with relatives). In fact, Qata' Ar-Rahm is a thanb kabeer (greater sin) as per some of the traditions, and maintaining Silat Ar-Rahm is wajib upon all believers with both close and far relatives, weather they are Muslims or kafirs (unless they are exercise open enmity towards Islam). The Prophet has said: “Do not sever relation with your kindered even if they cut off relations with you.” My que…

السلام عليكم In dhur and asar prayers I have to recite the Qir'at like a whisper? But mostly I can't hear my own voice. Can I instead recite the Surahs in a low voice instead of a whisper? I sent this question to the office of Ayatollah Sistani and this is the reply I received : "You should recite it clearly and articulately. Do not raise your voice; otherwise your prayers get void" I don't get it. Should I keep on reciting in a voice which I can't hear to or should I raise it just enough for me to hear. What is more important i) hearing your own voice ii) reciting in a low whisper For dhur and asr prayers?

Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatallahi wa barakatuh. I have found a post on Shiachat by this lovely brother gajarkahalva (May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى reward him). First I'll link to the Sistani website for the concept of Qadha': https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2251/ Here's the post: QADHA PRAYER MADE EASY You may suffer from the difficulties of performing the Qadha prayers specially when you have a huge number of prayers, which might due to some mistakes in your previous prayers such purity “Taharat” .. etc, or for other reason. Therefore we will try to demonstrate an easy way to perform the prayer so you can perform all your prayer in very …

Its disguisting how the world started hating the muslim society (especially shia-islam) at once! for example: we all know in the western culture that someone can be rejected for work on application interview only because his foreign islamic name or even of their appereance like a hijab. Or if we take it more worse like being rejected for a study only with a hijab on!!! -> lately a lot of schools/universities are opening a new law for students to not wear a hijab and if you don't agree then you should get off the school! that means its getting more and more tight for the muslims these days especially women with a hijab on!

Salam alaikum I have a couple of questions regarding najasah. Here are the scenarios: If tahir water from a tap bounces off a najis floor onto me, will that make me najis ? Also similarly, if the tahir water falls from my body instead of directly from the tap, then it bounces back off the najis floor onto me, will this make me najis ? Can you specify scholars as well please.

What should a person do if they have stolen items from an international shop and branch? Besides sincerely asking Allah for forgiveness, how should they repay the company according to Islamic/Shia law? Bearing in mind that those companies don't have a policy in place for these types of occurrences, or for people that want to come forward and pay back the amount that was taken away from them. What does Ayatollah Al Sistani Marja say about this, I could not find any information about this on his website. And what do other Marja's say about this?

Salam As per Ayt. Sistani, one of the recommended ghusls is : 19. the ghusl for shaving one’s hair (ḥalq); https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2190/ Like Friday ghusl, this ghusl suffices for wudhu. But is this talking about halq after umrah/hajj, or is it just any shaving of head?

(bismillah) (salam) Brothers & Sisters, With the recent event that happened in France, the world's now focus on Islam. In my Facebook, Whatsapp, Path, etc. i'm seeing increasing broadcast activity stating that we're allow to kill someone who slander/ humiliate Rasulullah (pbuhahp). Some quoting a hadith, some quoting ayah from Al-Qur'an. Although, my logical argument would be," if the ummah are allowed to kill whoever humiliate Rasulullah (pbuhahp), then, 1/2 to 3/4 of Mecca's citizen would be killed during Rasulullah (pbuhahp) era". Anyway, could someone help me with "on what condition that we're allowed to kill?". So far, all i know: Self-D…

Bismillah i Rahman i Raheem Assalaam o 'Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah i Wa Barakaatuh Recently, a thought came into my mind as I was reading the Tafsir of Surah Falaq. Practicing magic is of course an incredibly big sin and must not be done, but what about reading about it, in the sense of incidents revolving around it? What about reading the methods use to practice it, for the sake of curioisty/learning/any intent that is not referring to practicing it. JazakAllah Wa 'Alaikum Assalaam Wa Rahmatullah i Wa Barakaatuh

If you prayed and right after/ let’s say 30 mins later you Realise you could have been najis does your salat count or must it be re done. I’m not talking about ghusl but rather if I seen a cut or blood somewhere or you go toilet and do the thing to get rid off all liquids but can’t remember if you did it.

Salam everyone, a thank you in advance to those who will read and those who will reply. Bless you all, even those who just click. In the Holy and Noble Quran, it says: “None touch it except the purified". My concern with this verse is that in our today's world, the Quran is no longer just a book. My phone, computer, tablet. Anything can be turned into the Quran. The human mind can also be turned into the Quran if one memorizes everything to the point. So my question is, let's say I want to read the Quran on my phone. Should I first disinfect my phone properly before doing so? 2nd question is let's say I look up the Quran on my phone and leave it there on my tab…

Can we watch Islamic Love scenes?

Can we watch Islamic videos where there is a love story between a man and a woman? Sometimes, clips are posted as stories on social medias, where the woman is in Hijab, and with a background tune, the love connection between her and the spouse (in acting) is portrayed, like smiling at each other and that intense love for each other. Also can two namahrams act in romantic scenes, as such?

Bismillah i Rahman i Raheem Assalaam o 'Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah i Wa Barakaatuh I was recently listening to a part of a Majlis and learned that Nafilah, or generally Mustahab prayers may be offered without standing, without facing the Ka'abah. This made me think, that if one would like to offer say, the Nafilah of Maghreb, then will he only pray the prescribed number of Rakats or will he double them if he prays sitting down? I am aware that the 1 Nafilah of Isha is to be prayed as 2 Rakats while sitting down as an obligatory precaution. What about Salat ul Layl, can one perform all of it without facing the Ka'abah and not standing up? If so, will he also n…

Hi Guest OnPoint, Quote from your post: To make it even further clear and no doubt that Jews and Christians are not to judge by their religion and that they aren't allowed to, it says, believers not to take the Christians and Jews as authorities as some of them are that to each other. What is meant by authorities is not political here, it means, regarding the Torah and Gospels and laws, and God's moral judgement not to take Christians and Jews as an authority to what it says in those books. In response, I had quoted 'what it says in the Books,' --- it says in Surah 5:44 It was We (God) who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was ‘guidance and light.’ 5:46 And in their footsteps We (God) sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was ‘guidance and light,’ The two things I mentioned as the core teaching of the Torah is the Ten Commandments. --- And for the Gospels, the first part of ‘The Sermon on the Mount,’ which continues for 3 chapters. --- I could show you one thing that Jesus corrected in the Pharisees’ teaching of the commandment on love, in Matthew 5:20 Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ --- 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” --- There is no place in the Torah that says you should ‘hate your enemy.’ But that is what had been taught, which allowed the Pharisees to ‘hate’ who, or what, they didn’t like, and this also would allow neighbors who had a disagreement, to ‘hate’ one another. --- Consider how the Pharisees hated Jesus, and later the disciples. Jesus said, Love your enemies or adversaries, and love your neighbors. --- When Jesus was asked by a lawyer “Which was the Great Commandment?” He answered in Matthew 22:37 “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” --- And this too is 'written in the Book' and is meant for Christians to live by. -
You are now in the life you have because of different reasons: your parents decisions, help or not help by relatives, injustice done to you, choice(s) you made yourself, random events you have no control over, etc. It would be haram to make a clone live your life so you could get away. That is pure fantasy. Make better choices, live your life in a meaningful way, ask Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) to help you, make duas, remember the Ahlul Bayt AS. Pray. A lot. You can do this. Do the best you can. -
Hi Abdul-Hadi, Quote from your post: How would you account for the writings of Paul who turned Jesus ((عليه السلام)) into a divine figure or are these not what are counted as the scriptures in Islam? What I mean by this is, is only the actual teachings of Jesus ((عليه السلام)) like the Sermon on the Mount and the red letters of the Gospels rather than the entirety of the four gospels themselves? I come out of a Christian family background, so I'm used to the entirety of the Bible (old and new testaments as per the Ukrainian Orthodox church) being treated as the "inspired word of God ((سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى))" This assumption that Paul exalted Jesus is not correct. Jesus was human, but without sin, so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for sinful man. --- Something to notice since you are familiar with the New Testament is that in the Gospels the name is written, 'Jesus Christ,’ and the focus was on Jesus, as He is the one who could be seen. But Christ spoke the wisdom of God through Him, in the same way that the Holy Spirit can speak through some Christians today. --- However, After the crucifixion the names changed, as Jesus went to heaven to become a High priest, ‘After the order of Melchizedek,’ as it says in Hebrews 7:20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’”). 22 By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. 23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He (Jesus), because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. In the letters of Paul you will notice that after he gives a greeting in the name of Jesus Christ he quickly changes to Christ Jesus, or Christ alone. --- Because it was Christ who came down from heaven to ‘indwell’ Jesus, as the Holy Spirit indwells some Christians today. --- But when Jesus went to heaven the emphasis was on Christ. --- Jesus was born to be our Savior. --- But Christ was sent to be our Redeemer, and the King of the Jews, through whom the Gospel was given. Are you familiar with Paul’s writing in 1 Corinthians 15? --- 15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas (Peter), then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep (in death). And it continues in 21 “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all (believers) shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He (Christ) must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. --- 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son (Christ) Himself will also be subject to Him (God the Father) who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.” --- Where was Jesus? He was already in His permanent position in heaven as the High Priest in the heavenly Sanctuary, there to make intercession for us. Hebrews 8:1-2. Check it all out and let me know what you discover.
