Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah What Must a Woman Cover When Alone at home or in her room? What must a woman cover in front of mahram men?

I am a woman and I was having sexual thoughts before bed and I fell asleep. Upon waking up I found a small amount of arousal fluid which I attributed to the thoughts I was having before bed. I did not have any sexual dream of any nature. I am now having doubts that the arousal fluid may have been from whilst I was asleep which would require me to do ghusl, however it was a small amount and not to the amount I would usually have upon orgasm. Do I need to do ghusl?

Assalamualaikum, I've been investigating for almost 2 years, I can't forget the date it was 22 September 2024, I was alone at home. I remember thinking about the rulings of talak 1 and talak 3, I was thinking which one can reconcile and which one can't reconcile. While thinking, I may have uttered a sentence regarding talak. But after that day, I kept questioning and I keep trying to know if the utterance was made in loud voice or soft voice or just mouthing without voice? I also keep trying to find out if it was uttered, did I mention my wife or not at all? Did I say talak 1 or talak 3 if it was uttered? After too many times trying to remember, I get more confused about what really happened. From my understanding, divorce doesn't count if it's not attributed or directed to wife and also if sound was not produced. My main worries are : 1. Did I utter in loud voice or whispering or mouthing without voice at all? 2. Was it directed to wife by saying "you" or "my wife" or did not mention wife at all? 3. If it was uttered, was it talak 1 or talak 3?

Question regarding the validity of my Nikah due to my beliefs at the time of marriage Assalamu alaikum, I would like to ask about the Islamic ruling regarding my Nikah and whether it was valid according to Sharia. I married my Muslim husband in a Nikah ceremony on 17 January 2024. At the time of the Nikah, I was not Muslim. I had been baptized and confirmed as a Christian when I was younger, but I never personally believed in Christianity or practiced the faith. I officially left the church in 2018. Since around 2015, I considered myself an atheist and identified with modern (atheistic) Satanism, meaning I did not believe in any deity, including Allah. This was a philosophical identity rather than a belief in a literal Satan. My husband knew about my actual beliefs at that time, but when arranging the Nikah, he told the Imam that I was Christian. The Imam was not aware that I was an atheist and that I had left Christianity. Approximately eight months after our Nikah, I sincerely converted to Islam out of conviction. My questions are: 1. Was our Nikah valid according to Islamic law, considering that I was an atheist at the time and not actually Christian, Jewish, or Muslim? 2. Does the fact that my husband presented me as Christian to the Imam, while knowing my actual beliefs, affect the validity of the Nikah? 3. Since I later accepted Islam sincerely, does my conversion have any effect on the status of the previous Nikah? 4. If the Nikah was not valid, what is the correct Islamic procedure regarding our marriage and separation? I would be grateful for an answer according to Islamic jurisprudence, including the relevant madhhab or scholarly opinion if there are differences of opinion. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Assalamualaikum , I am really confused. When I was alone, did I utter the word of div*** in a loud voice or whisper or inner monologue so I could hear myself, or not? I keep asking myself if any sound came out of my mouth. Sometimes it feels like I spoke, and sometimes it feels like I didn't. How can I know for sure? Also, I wonder if the sentence was complete. Did I mention my wife, or not at all? By that, I mean did I use words like "you," "my wife," her actual name, or nothing at all? I keep stressing over this. For example, did I just say "Div**** tal** 1 (or 3)"? Or "I div***, tal** 1 (or 3)"? Or "I div**** you/my wife/[wife's name], tal** 1 (or 3)"? Was it attributed to wife or not? Sometimes I also wonder if I used the word "If." For example, did I say "If I div**** tal** 1 (or 3)"? The scariest part is, if I did say it, did I say tal** 1 or tal** 3? I have been worrying deeply about this for almost 2 years. I have been repeatedly asking myself the same question "Did I utter aloud or not?", "Did I mention my wife or not?" "What was the exact sentence?" "Did I say tal** 1 or 3"? I'm very scared and I don't know what to do

Assalamu alaikum, I am starting to think about purchasing a house, I am thinking about islamic mortgage Please can you tell me if this is permissable, I have been looking at Gatehouse islamic mortgage specifically, is their offering halal? JazakAllah

Peace be upon you. Every day I keep thinking when I was alone at home, 'Back then, was I thinking about the explicit words of div*** and accidentally uttered them while thinking?', 'If I uttered them, did a sound actually come out or not?', 'Was the sentence directed toward my wife or not? Did I mention "wife" or not? What exactly was the sentence? Was it "Div*** tal** 1" or "Div*** tal** 3" or "I div*** tal** 1" or "I divorce tal** 3" or "I div*** you/my wife/[wife's name] tal** 1 (or 3)"?' With or without wife's being mentioned? Please help, what should I do? Even though I already went through the court verification process before, I am worried that I did not provide the court with the exact details. What I told the court back then was that I felt the words were explicit. The judge asked about my level of certainty, and my answer was 50-50—sometimes it felt like a sound came out, and sometimes it felt like it was just in my heart. Because of that, it was not validated (it was ruled as not having occurred). I am worried that this happened simply because my testimony wasn't sufficient to validate it. Until now, I am still trying to dig up my past memories of that moment: was I just thinking while uttering it, or was it without sound? If it was uttered, did I mention my wife or not? If it was uttered, was it tal**1 or 3? I am so worried to the point that I am wondering if I should do the court verification process all over again? Over and over again, I keep pondering whether a sound came out or not, whether it was directed at my wife or not, and if it was uttered, was it tal** 1 or 3? What should I do?

اسلام علیکم I work for a broadband regulator. My project is to find themes/topics in customer complaints. With this information, they might use it to make sure broadband providers are bing compliant with the regulations. They also might use it to come up with new regulations. My fear is that it is enforcing laws that would amount to major shirk/kufr. I do not know all of the regulations but they are put in place to make customer experience easier. For example, one regulation is that if a customer joins, the broadband provider has to switch the customer over themselves and cancel the customers old contract for them. Is this violating shariah since if is putting a responsibility on the merchant that isn't outlined in shariah? Or are these kinds of adminstrative laws that are ok to implement? JazakAllahu Khairan

Assalamu alaykum. Suppose I was developing a website or program at home, actively using the internet. The internet and electricity were paid for with stolen money, the chair I sat on while working was also bought with stolen money, and the rent for the house where I was working was paid with haram money, and so on. When a person starts a business with stolen money, they are obligated to return the profits as well—does this principle apply here, or is the income itself halal in this case, and are these two things different? I know about the obligation to return what was stolen, but I’m interested in the status of the money itself: as long as the stolen money hasn’t been returned, is the income from developing the website halal?

I am writing to seek your guidance regarding a matter that has caused me severe, ongoing mental distress. I have been constantly ruminating and replaying an event from September 22, 2024, every single day. The main issue I face is that my mind keeps forcing me to ask the same questions countless times: a. Was it actually spoken out loud, was it just mouthing without a voice, or was it merely an inner monologue? (Did I actually hear it with my own ears?) b. If I did utter it, was it directed at my wife? Did I explicitly mention her name, use a pronoun like "you," or say "my wife"—or was there no attribution at all? c. If it was indeed uttered, did I say talaq 1 or talaq 3? To provide some important context: in January 2025, I went to the Syariah Court for verification. The process was highly challenging because, due to severe fear and constant rumination, I could not recall or state the exact sentence with any certainty. Initially, the court could not verify anything because I was unable to provide a definitive statement for the judge to review. To allow the session to proceed, I eventually told the judge what I thought I might have said while alone, which was, for example "I div__ce you." When the judge asked about my level of certainty, I replied that it was "50-50"—meaning there was a 50% chance it was uttered out loud, and a 50% chance it was just silent mouthing without sound. Consequently, based on this lack of certainty, the court ruled that no talaq had occurred. Despite this official court ruling, I still feel deeply anxious, obsessive, and scared. My mind keeps tormenting me because I never specified to the judge whether it was talaq 1 or talaq 3 in that hypothetical scenario. This leaves me feeling incredibly uneasy, causing me to replay the event of September 22, 2024, over and over again in a loop. I am very scared and exhausted by these thoughts. Given that the court already ruled that no talaq occurred due to my 50-50 uncertainty, should I accept this as final and ignore these thoughts as waswas (obsessive doubts)? Or am I required to go to the court again to do another verification? I would deeply appreciate your guidance. Jazak'Allah Khairan.
