My friend is a Sunni Muslim and has studied alot about Islam. He says that after the death of prophet Muhammad , people got so obsessed with talking about sahih hadith that at one point Abu bakr said that now if anyone comes to me asking about hadith,I will chop his head off so that people would go back to Quran more. Is this true.

I learnt from an online QA (Islamqa) site that clapping for e.g. a Halal performance, is Haram and they presented verse 35 of Sura Anfal as related reference. I wanted to know that, since this may be a worldly affair and not ibadat, is this Haram? Or Makruh? Please advise.

My question is, recently i have seen that a 30-episode-serial is available in YouTube, named “Umar Bin Khattab”. I saw all the episodes and absolutely loved it. I felt that it increased my iman, Alhamdulillah. But one thing bothered me all along: ‘is it ok to watch it as different actors were portraying sahabas like Umar (r.a),Abu Bakr(r.a)and many others?

Praise be to Allah. Firstly: The contemporary scholars are unanimously agreed that it is haraam to depict the Prophets (peace be upon them) in general and our Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in particular.
