Does washing your hands with bar soap make it impure? For example, after going to the toilet, I turn on the tap, wet my hands, and take the soap to wash my hands — in that case, does the soap become impure? Or if I take the soap directly.

Salam alaykum, I am struggling with these problems the past couple months and really need some advice. I am undiagnosed but suspected with Autism and placed on a waiting list by my GP, i've been diagnosed with ADHD. Part of my issues is that i struggle with sensory issues, especially with smell. My autism/ADHD symptoms became worse after a very stressful year at mosque where i was monitored inside and outside of mosque to make sure no islamic rules were broken otherwise i'd get kicked out, i feel like this depleted my emotional strength and might have induced some sort of PTSD in me. Ever since then i've become weaker at tolerating sensory overload and have become worse at masking aspects of autism - such as lots of communication with people and i get tired very often. my mother saw my symtpoms of constnat meltdowns and thought i was possesed by jinn and she's conacted teachers in india who confirmed her claims of me being possesed by ashiq jin - they diagnosed me through photos of my hair & my mother's mother's name . I had a session with a raqi in the uk that uses quranic ruqya, and he told me that i am not possessed as i showed no symptoms and that its autism and my mother should understand. she doesnt understand and insists that i am still possesed by a ashiq. i read surah baqarah every day but my symptoms of sensory overload dont seem to go, so im convinced it's autism. because my mum doesnt believe in autism at all or any other mental health issues, she doesnt cater to any of my communications with her and gets angry if i tell her that i cant be in a room due to strong smells etc. I have moved out to protect my mental health, but every week i go back its the same argument. I dont know what to do, and have no one to communicate this with, i haven't told any of my friends as i'm ashamed of moving out but i had to do this as i was self harming through constant meltdowns and felt suicidal. Please can you give me some advice as the guilt is destroying me, i feel as though i've dissapointed allah greatly through moving out and my inability to have a relationship with my mother, as she doesnt understand at all despite what i tell her, and depsite me telling her i've been diagnosed, seen a raqi etc. please i need some islamic giudance on this, i really need your help.

As-salāmu ʿalaykum, I made a promise to Allah—and took it seriously—that I would no longer speak to a certain guy. Since then, I haven’t contacted him. However, I can’t remember if, when I made the oath, I specifically said “by message,” or if I simply said I wouldn’t talk to him at all, with the intention in my heart that it was only referring to messaging—because that’s the only way we actually used to communicate. I’m pretty sure I either said “by message” or meant it in that context. Now I’m wondering: if one day I happen to see him (he’s a close family friend), and he says salām to me, and I respond politely or if he talk to me physically —would that be considered breaking my oath? And if so, would I need to offer a kafāra?

As-salāmu ʿalaykum, I have a question I’d like to ask you, as I sincerely hope to specialize in Islamic finance in the future and eventually become a chartered accountant. I’d really appreciate your opinion on the following situation: Let’s imagine a client working in the construction or restaurant industry, for example, decides to change accountants. As a result, we take over their file, meaning we receive all their previous accounting records (cash inflows and outflows). However, it’s possible that this client took out a conventional (interest-based) loan in the past to finance their business activities. My question is: despite this loan, are we still allowed to become this client’s accountant? This would involve, on our end, recording in the client’s books every month the interest payments made to the bank, as well as the repayment of the loan principal. We, of course, did not advise the client to take out this loan, nor do we work in collaboration with the bank. However, our job is to provide a true and fair view of the client’s financial situation, by recording everything they receive (income) and everything they pay (expenses, including interest expenses). Would simply recording these interest charges in their accounts be considered haram in and of itself? BarakAllahu feek, Manel

Assalamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh. I want to create an online marketplace for courses (learning), which I am hosting, where buyers and sellers meet, where I receive commission from all courses / learning that is sold on this marketplace. I will try to implement an approval process, where I have to approve a course before it is submitted. What if someone posts a learning course on something like earning money through haraam methods? Am I responsible for the sin of this if people buy from this and learn from this? Is there sin on me? It would be overwhelming for me to be able to catch and deny all submissions that have haraam elements like this, simply because there is not enough time to go through each course. Should I develop this marketplace or just leave it alone? JazakumAllaahu khayran.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum, I was giving my mom a massage, and she asked me to press along her arms down to her fingers to "remove bad energies." I don’t believe in that, of course, but two things came to mind: -I wanted to joke and say, “So you want to put them in me?” since I was right next to her fingers. But I didn’t say anything, because I wasn’t sure if joking about that kind of thing is appropriate. -On a more serious note, I was wondering: is believing in these kinds of body "energies" considered shirk, kufr, or is it just haram? Or is it something else entirely?

Salem Alikoum. I hope my message finds you well. I would like to inquire whether whole life insurance is Haram or not. I tried to summerize the contract as below. Jazakum Allah keira. Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that covers you for your entire life, as long as you keep paying the premiums. It also builds cash value over time, which you can borrow against or withdraw while you're still alive. Key features: 1. Lifelong coverage — it pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries no matter when you die (as long as premiums are paid). 2. Fixed premiums — the amount you pay monthly or annually usually stays the same for life. 3. Cash value accumulation — part of your premium goes into a savings-like cash value account that grows over time, often at a guaranteed rate. This one I already have declined due to interest. But I have asked to keep the cash value as is similar to saving bank account. 4. You can borrow against it — you can take out loans from the cash value while you’re alive, though it reduces the death benefit if not repaid. 5. More expensive than term life insurance — because it provides lifetime coverage and a cash value component.
