You said this “Generally speaking woman must not be photographed or filmed. As for the sisters who wear the niqab, if they have a reason doing that it seems that it is permissible with the condition that there is no fitna and she is covered well.” The reason here is that she wants a profile picture for her online account.

Couple of days back, my iman felt great. I’ve only been practicing for a year and a half. It feels like I’m always having a new experience. This week, I’ve been extremely lazy. Really lazy. All I want to do is play and sit all day. I had no desire to worship Allah. I hate feeling this way. How can I fix my laziness that’s making me waste time. Is this normal?

Every rational dua is permissible. One person who have brown eyes cannot make dua that Allah would change his eyes color to blue. This doesn’t make sense.
