My friends are arranging a tournament in which they’ll collect an entry fee from all the participants. In the end of the tournament they’ll give out a prize money from the amount they had collected as the prize money. Does this come under gambling? Can you please give a detailed answer so that i can stop them from doing such a thing?

I am very confused because I know Muslim women are not allowed to imitate the kuffar women, if a woman wants to wear nice clothes at home for family and husband, how can she do this without buying western clothes?

There is nothing wrong in wearing western clothes for the husband as this is worn by many women in the Muslim world and it is not only for the disbelieving women!

In islam after this universe and the judgement day, will there be another creation?

This is only in Allah’s knowledge!

They say, to say that divine qadr is created is wrong aqeedah, like they quoted Ibn Taymiyah against this creed in their website and people are circulating it on facebook and we think this is probably a slander on you

Qadr has two meanings: Allah’s knowledge and what Allah has decreed and created. Allah’s knowledge is not created and it is one of His attributes. It is Allah’s secret that no one knows of. What Allah has decreed refers to what Allah has created such as the actions of the people as Allah says: “while […]

I want to buy a car but on installments, i-e on lease. So does it involve any Riba?There are many Islamic banks that claim that their lease system is without any interest. i heard one mufti say that the extra money you are paying is for car a thing but not on the money, what are your thoughts on it? Like the car is of 10k dollars but on installment i am paying total 12k dollars which is fixed. Your thoughts on it?

Lease to own is not permissible as there are no guarantees after paying everything except one installment, if the car was burnt by an accident and the insurance paid for a new car, the company will not give you the new car and will tell you that you were leasing and send you away with […]

The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam had said: between every 2 Athans (the Athan and Iqamah) there is a prayer (2 rak’ah nafl).

May I ask the reason why? There’s a huge debate here amongst friends just to educate us. Basically, the debate is that it’s my brother’s wish and not mine. So, I’m simply carrying out his wish. My position is that I can’t carry out his wish of cremation because it goes against my belief in that the fire is reserve for only Allah, not man.

Cremation is the doing of the Hindus and not the Muslims! Our Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam ordered us to wash the deceased and to bury him after offering funeral prayers! He told us that honoring a deceased is by hastening to bury him. If he ordered his body to be thrown to lions […]

I live in the US. My brother a non practicing muslim, created a will to outline what he wants to happen when he dies. He wants his body to be creamated. Can I as a muslim honor that request? Or, should I tell him I cannot fulfill his wish while he’s alive today?
