How to use kursuf correctly

I am an unmarried woman who is still a virgin. I have been trying to use a kursuf to determine the end of my menstruation, but I don't know how to insert it without causing pain. I tried to follow guidance from some Muslimah websites, where they stated that unmarried women should put the kursuf right at the vagina opening, at the labia minora.

I want to know if it will be permissible to marry a girl whom I committed zina with and told Allāh

I also told her that “I swear to Allāh that I will never be with her again”. Unfortunately, I also said this out of anger and not in a good mental state. Presently, me and this girl have been in .....

Low imaan hard heart

Salaam The other day I suddenly received doubts in my imaan. All my logic tells me that the Qur'an is from Allah, and the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) is a true Prophet. And yet I am still plagued by doubts about Islam (which I hate) and my heart feels dead. Sometimes when thinking of Allah or performing ibadah my mind is overcome with the thought that Islam is not real and it has resulted in me feeli.....

Ruling on aftertaste of toothpaste, food, drinks and miswak on validity of fasting

Quick question regarding an oath made in anger

Assalamu alaikum I was planning to bake a specific dessert with my nephew but he was being insolent/silly and talking over me. I became stressed and angry and said something like "wallahi you're not going to make it!" I immediately regretted what I said as I don't normally say wallahi, let alone for trivial matters. As I wasn't specific in my wording does that mean he can make that particular.....

I felt regret straigh.....

Ramadan as Commuting Student

I’m a student who commutes 51-61 miles (about 1 hour and 15 minutes) each way to and from my university about 3-4 times a week. According to Hanafi fiqh, a person is considered a traveler (musafir) if they travel 48 miles (77 km) or more, but I’ve also heard that frequent travel might not count. Since I travel this distance and return home each night, does this mean I still qualify as a mus.....
