Assalaamu alaykum. I suffer from Waswasah (obsessive doubts), and it is making my life miserable. I read a fatwa of yours that says that water is pure unless its color, smell, or taste has changed. What if a drop of water goes over an invisible impurity and then falls on your clothes or the floor. Will this drop be pure if its color, smell, or taste.. More
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. My father asked me for a spreadsheet to calculate some math necessary for shipping the stuff in our house because we will be migrating to another country, Allaah willing. Among the things that he will ship (and hence use my spreadsheet for) are the TV's. I know that they will commit at least some sins.. More
Could you give me the meanings of the words 'Man' and 'Woman' in Arabic? Somebody told me that woman means 'a hidden one' or 'something that must be hidden'. Is that correct?

Assalaamu alaykum. I read all your fatwas regarding music and came to know that only the Duff is allowed. My question is the following: can other percussion instruments be used given that they are not so different in sound from the Duff? Is there a any scholarly opinion that says that since the Duff was the prevalent percussion instrument during the.. More
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..

Assalamu alaykum Islamweb. I suffer from body imbalance. My right leg is somewhat shorter than my left leg. Due to this imbalance, I get muscular trigger points on my right side of my abdomen, which gives me pain, but the pain is bearable despite being very active. Whenever I engage in any activity, my right side is dominant. This has been happening.. More
Many people claim that I am a man, but in the sight of Allaah, what is the definition of a man, and what are his qualities? Who is a man, and who is not?

Regarding the prohibition of hitting the face (as stated in a hadith), does it include hitting the face for self-defense as well? I mean, if I get attacked by a Muslim in the street, should I avoid hitting his face when fighting him? How about hitting other parts of his head (e.g. side, top, back, under the chin)? If hitting the face for self-defense.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I just have a quick question. My question is about games which contain ‘magical’ powers. You have stated in a bunch of your fatwas that games that have characters with superpowers or unnatural abilities are permissible and do not come under the heading of Sihr (magic). So what about the games which contain superpowers just like.. More
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
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.

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
