I have read that even if a phone has a Qur’an app open in the toilet it’s not sinful because it’s digital waves and so on forth. So I want to ask, if I am in the toilet and Allah’s name appears whether in arabic or English, is it sinful?

Allah sent Musa (alaihi salam) to the children of Israel and after Musa (alaihis salam), He sent many prophets and also Isa (alaihis salam). When Isa (alaihis salam) came was it obligatory on children of Israel to follow and obey Isa (alaihis salam) and leave Musa’s (alaihis salam) shariah? Did Musa (alaihis salam) told his nation about coming of prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu alahi wa sallam) as Isa (alaihis salam) informed? Did Musa (alaihis salam) also inform them about coming of Isa (alaihis salam)?

I have M.A in Biology. I am working in embryology lab and I am a religious person. Recently someone asked me: How in Islamic belief, in 120 days it is decided the sex of a child, when in early stage of embryo development we can see the sex of a child (couple of days)? I was embarrassed because I did not know the answer.

The sex of the embryo is not limited to the 120 days. It is determined on the 40th day. It is the soul that is breathed in on the 120th day.

My daughter and son in law are not allowing me and her step father to see the baby anymore. She is 10 months now and we have done everything for them. My daughter has chronic fatigue and we are always there to help FINANCIALLY as well. My husband is a joker and has made joking comments over the years and months as he does with his own family. He said to my daughter maybe I can teach baby some Algerian cooking , maybe she will be a doctor or something nice when she is older if you encourage her in her education. Sometimes he calls me his wife whitey woman and I call him browny man as JOKE. HE SAID IT LOVINGLY TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHITEY GIRL AND SAID GRANNY IS GRUMPY.We helped my daughter and son in law to move house financially last week and now they sent a text to me from my son in law saying that we can not see the baby to take her out as they do not want my husband to see her as he is a bad influence. My husband is a practicing Muslim that loves to joke, only he did not know he was upsetting anyone. My son in law said I can come to their home and see the baby but not take her out. My daughter and son in law are both revert Muslims and have really hurted me. I am in the middle and at my wits end I did nothing wrong but I can’t take my grandchild out. Please could you advise me on this situation that shaitan has created

I see that many women pray with hands covered and sometimes not covered. I used to cover my hands until I read that there is a difference of opinion. Some say its an obligation while others say it is not. Can you please tell me what is the correct ruling? Should I cover my hands or should I not cover it?

Would I be sinful if I miss fajr salaah unintentionally, even if I had many alarms on? If I wake up and just to qada (pray it again before zuhr), would that be ok? Would I no longer be sinful ?
