Daily Lessons


On April 6, 2024, Forsen received the first of what would become many daily lessons: “Watching Naruto; Is It Halal?". Thanks to one or more kind believers this would continue for multiple years, providing him with daily lessons and clarifications on the rulings of his newly adopted religion: Islam.


Weeb Questions

Main "forsen1337" article.

Watching Naruto; Is It Halal?


Even the disbelievers criticize the hints of sexuality present in the show. The influence of this type of media is damaging even if presented in an innocent way, for example Hawaiian dancing in Tom & Jerry.


Naruto transforms into a woman wearing a bikini to seduce his teacher, this makes him a transgender. This LGTBQ+ ideals are not allowed in Islam.


Can I watch Anime & skip the episodes that contain Haram things?


Watching anime is Haram because exposes you to behavior or content that is not permissible in Islam, influencing you into diverting from the path of righteousness.


This is how kuffar (كفار) spread their ideas, even if not intermediately obvious, watching this type of content will end up corrupting your heart.


Why did Prophet marry Aisha at such a young age?


Allah ordered the Prophet to marry Aisha of nine years of age, in multiple revelations brought to him by Jibril (جبريل). For Muslims marrying at this young age was the norm at that time.


Previously to marrying Aisha, the Prophet Mohamed compromised with a woman of 40 years of age while he was 25. He married her until she passed away at the age of 65. This automatically makes him a decent person.


An Indian asked again: Why did Prophet marry Aisha at such a young age?


"Islam is perfect, Indians instead work-ship cows, work-ship mice, work-ship body parts, and pray to 500 gods. Talk about throwing stones with a house of glass [...]. They should GETALIFE."

- Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem


Faith Questions

What are the benefits of camel urine?


When scientists tell you that certain medication will heal you, you trust them blindly. The same applies here, the beverage healed the ailments of the sick tribe as related in the Hadith so it's real.


It's true, a friend of mine drank the mixture of camel milk and urine everyday for two months and it healed him from his cancer.


What is the ruling on insurance?


This is strictly prohibited, mainly for two reasons: Involves gambling, if something bad happens you will receive compensation. And interest or Ribā (رِبا) which is also forbidden.


If you are in a country that demands you to have some kind of insurance you can acquire it, but you must go for the minimum required.


How to deal with anxiety regarding health or fear of death?


Trust in Allah, praised be his name, and live safety if you do tranquility will fill your heart, if you don't you are opening the doors to Shaitan.


Believe that everything is predestined, it's already written. In this world, the destiny of mankind is controlled by some transcendental entity, the hand of God hovering above. Man controls only his own will.


Can we plant a tree to reduce torment of grave & pour water for coolness?


Only the Prophet can place a tree in the tomb of the deceased to temporary reduce their torment.


Simply the world of the unseen has no connection to our world, and because of this we can't be certain if this possesses any effect.


How to deal with people who are always talking about Mahdi's arrival, Dajjal, battle at the end times?


The arrival of ad-Dajjāl (المسيح الدجّال) or the anti-Christ will test the faith of the true Muslims. It will bait the weak willing into giving up Islam. Ignore this people and just spend your time trying to become a better believer.


Is you hear one of your fellow Muslims preaching about the Dajjāl, RUN. DO NOT CONFRONT HIM. He is already a Kāfir (كافر).


When is the real start of Ramadan?


This can vary depending on the location, mainly based on the sighting of the moon.


If you reside in a Muslim country, the Muslim ruler can decide when is time to start Ramadan and when to pray.


Getting bad thoughts about Islam and Allah, what should I do?


You are in the right path, the closer you get to Allah the more bad thoughts, you will get.


Shaitan loves to target the mind of the believers in the same way a thief targets a mansion instead of the house of a poor peasant.


Why do the Shia have great respect for al Khomeini?


Some, but not all, of the followers of the Shia (شيعة) are dis-believers that heavily distorted the texts of the Quran. We as Sunnis simply don't care about what do they respect or not.


Some of them may just be like us, with little differences. They may prefer other figures but respect them in the same way we do.


What to do when a house fly when it falls into your vessel?


You are supposed to submerge the fly into your vessel, then throw the fly away, after you can consume from said vessel. The exact way it's described in the Quran.


The fly carry illness in one wing, and the cure and remedy in the other one as related in the Hadith. You must believe.


Can Allah create something bigger than him?

"ARE YOU STUPID? HOW YOU DARE TO ASK SUCH A QUESTION? THIS IS SHAITAN MESSING UP WITH YOUR HEAD!"

- Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem


What happens to our soul between our Death and Resurrection?


This is something we don't know enough about. We can know for certainty that you can suffer before you die.


Once your soul is taken by the angels of death, you will go to the 7th Heaven. Here believers will be praised and sent back to their grave where they will rest with an open window who allows them to view paradise until the day of Judgement.


What is the ruling on smoking cigarettes?


This is totally prohibited even in non-Muslims countries. It causes cancer and a stinky breath.


Some Muslims may think this is Makrooh, no it is not, It is Haram. Even if it were you should stay far away from it as it not pleases Allah.


Must we close our Doors, Windows, Curtains, Cover Pots & containers at Maghrib?


No, this ruling only applies to doors during the Maghrib (مَغْرِب) or sunset prayer.


Saying Bismillah after entering your house and before eating dinner will keep Shaitan and his companions away from you.


Is praising someone permissible in Islam?


You are allowed to praise someone but keep it limited, no one should be praised more than Allah.


Adding a disclaimer after praising someone such as: "I don't praise him before Allah" (وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا) can clear you from confusion.


What about Muslims who celebrate Christmas & New Years?


This is not what Muslims should do. Celebrating this days is a major sin.


The media tries to paint this days has a celebration not related to religion, don't listen to them.


How to know if we are being Tested or Punished by Allah?


We cannot know for certain, but they are somehow interlinked.


If misfortune falls into someone that is a dis-believer, it most likely a punishment. In the opposite if it falls into someone who is a good practicing Muslim and he learns about compassion and patience this was just a test.


Did Musa alaihissalam punch the Angel of death?


Yes, he did and damaged his eye while the Angel confronted him in human form.


Later Musa would choose to die instead of living another other 3000 years of watching Forsen.


I'm lazy to do any of the good things i used to do. Is Allah angry with me?


Most likely. This means there is something wrong with you either your lifestyle, maybe someone you just knew or maybe a sin that you are not noticing.


If you commit a sin then repent, commit the same sin again and so on, you can be forgiven by Allah as long as you ended up quitting by the end.


Why are there many levels of Jannah?


We don't know, but what we do know for certainty is that the lower levels lack benefits that the higher ones possess. For instance higher levels are closer to Allah.


You should aim for the stars. If asking Allah for something ask him for the highest degree.


Food Questions

Are Machine Slaughtered Chickens Halal to eat?


As long as the folks that prepare it, guarantee you that the meat was killed in a Halal (Permissible by Islam) manner, you are safe to eat from it until proven the contrary.


As long as you say Bismillah before activating automated machinery that kills a hundred chickens simultaneously, is Halal. However if the machinery does not act simultaneously when killing, the poultry is considered dead meat and thus must not be consumed.


Can you eat or drink while standing up?


Both fit into the category of recommended, you are encouraged to eat and drink while sitting. But if you can't do it, it's okay there is not an issue.


The prohibition of drinking while standing comes from it being disliked, more than of an actual ruling.


Is bulking & bodybuilding permissible in Islam?


Bodybuilding without using enhancers, and in a way that ends up not being an obsession is Halal


You can't body-build in an intent to show off your Aura (هالة).


Why are people who die single, when Allah created things in pairs?


This is a misinterpretation of Allah words. When he Said "We created you in pairs" he is talking about male and female, heat and cold, day and night and so on.


This is just a immoral fabrication of Atheists and those PEOPLE that want to change the WORLD ORDER.


Ruling on drinking beer & percentage of alcohol in drinks and food?


Alcohol can be present in Halal foods and drinks, however keep in mind the purpose of them. If they were made with the sole intention of get you intoxicated, than a single drop it's considered Haram.


If there is alcohol in juice or drink and you can drink a large amount of it with out you getting drunk, it's permissible.


Can we go to a restaurant that has music and free mixing in it?


There is no mixing in restaurants, just sit in your table. Remember the difference between hearing and listening, as long as you try not paying attention to the music and it being involuntary you should be fine.


Avoid western restaurants were they serve ham and wine.


What is the ruling on fasting Friday or Saturday (voluntary or mandatory fasts)?


You are not allowed to voluntarily fast the Fridays only, you either must fast the next day, Saturday or otherwise fasted the past day, Thursday otherwise break your ongoing fast. Also on top of this rule you cannot voluntarily fast on Fridays nor Saturdays, unless you are doing the fasting of Ṣawm Dāwūd (صوم داود) where you have to fast in intermittent days.


If the fasting you are doing is mandatory instead you must fast in those days: for example when completing missed Ramadan days.


Can we blow on our Food or Drink if it's hot?


You cannot breath in the vessel if it's shared with others, it is prohibited. However there is a discussion if you are talking about your own cup, some scholars say that it is permissible.


Just to be sure get a second cup and move the liquid between them until it becomes cold.


Is Noodle or Maggi Halal?


It may be bad for your blood pressure but it is allowed, there is not texts forbidding you from eating it.


Something being Haram can only be defined by real scholars, this is not a matter of opinion.


Games & Shit Questions

Can we play video games?


It depends of what kind of what game we are talking about: games that obviously promote violent or prohibited behaviors are Haram, meanwhile games about sports could be Halal.


"You can play Mario Kart? It's not Haram to throw Bowser shells. Not Haram to throw bombs.

- Forsen


Is having a career in video games permissible in Islam?


Again, as long as they don't take much of your time and they possess Halal content it's permissible. However because developing a career requires you spend a lot of your time and thinking this is not permissible.


Thinking about video games while praying is a sin. Also Allah will ask you about of did you spend your youth, and this will not be a favorable look for you. I'm looking at you Forsen.


Is playing with cards allowed?


You are allowed to play, but remember to not gamble, nor cheat, nor play games that were created with the concept of gambling in mind and to cover the faces of the kings, queens and jacks.


You are allowed to entertain yourself, remember to not distract yourself from you obligations as a Muslim.


Is it permissible to create or design video games to earn money?


Once again, if the content that the game portrayals is not violent, not replicating Allah creations, nor involves gambling then it's allowed.


Bombing aliens in space invaders and consuming ghosts as Pac-Man in old Atari games is Halal.


Is the Minecraft Video Game Halal?


No, it is not. Portrayals animals which again imitate the creations of Allah.


Some people argue that this content may not be real. You may as well watch pornography since it's not real either.


What is the ruling on playing Chess in Islam?


There is no issue if played in moderation. Remember to not gamble, nor cheat and to cover the knight or to separate his head if it's copying one of the creations from Allah.


This can be even beneficial for your brain and prevent Alzheimer.


Household Questions

My parents kicked my wife from the home. What should i do? I can't disobey them.


By just asking this you should just release your woman from marriage, you are simply not man enough to have a wife. Marriage is only suitable and permissible for real men.


It's wrong for you to allow your parents to mistreat your wife, stop being such a mommy's boy and grow up or divorce and free her.


Can we keep dogs at home?


Having a dog at home is permissible as long as it has a legitimate purpose. If not, a Mount Uhud (جبل أُحُد, Jabal Uḥud) will be deducted from your good deeds account each subsequent day. Forsen got rid of Peppah the very same day after hearing this.


Angels do not enter in houses which contain dogs. Keeping a dog without a recognized purpose may cause you to lose one or two qirat (قيراط) of reward daily.


What about married couple who willingly choose to not have children?


This goes against the fundamentals of getting married so it's a sin. If she unwillingly cannot have kids, don't marry her.


You can tell that a woman is fertile by just observing her sisters, if they already conceived.


What is the ruling in adoption in Islam?


Adoption simply does not exists in Islam. The main issue arises when they come of age because they are not related to the opposite gender, it becomes Haram being around them.


You can let your sister feed a adopted baby-girl five times for you to become related to her and this way avoid mixing. However she will still be mixing with your sons if you already have any, since they are still not related in any from to her.


What are the rights of an older sibling over his younger siblings? ( Mentioned )


Call your parents, if they are not here then you can only advise him and you are not allowed to hit him.


The chain of command in a household goes like this father, mother then you as the older brother, then your lil bro (أخي الصغير).


What about having incestuous thoughts about your mom?


There is no justification for this. No Muslim reaches this level of degeneracy. Is you TRULY cannot control yourself pack your stuff and leave the house.


Seriously, seek counseling or help.


What about the ruling on beating one's wife in Islam?


You can, but you have to make sure to not break a bone, spill blood, leave a mark and also avoid the face.


You are allowed to beat your wife, but only with a small twig. Surely most husbands will follow this rule.


What about cats as pets and OCD about cats impurity?


Yes, you are allowed to have cats as pets as narrated in the Hadith.


The issue arises from the cats moving their impurities around the house. We use the idea that certainty is not removed by doubt.


Jihad Questions

What is the ruling on suicide bombing?


This is PROHIBITED, mainly because Islam forbids you to kill yourself, unless you want to do this repeatably in the eternal fire of elo hell until judgement day.


If you kill yourself you are not a Martyr and will burn in eternal hell no matter how many enemies you take down, Inshallah.


Is slavery allowed in Islam?


The only permissible slavery in Islam includes non-believers prisoners of war, you can forgive the live of this enemies of Islam to give them an honest living, instead of simply executing them.


Later down the line you can free this slaves to seek forgiveness for your sins (Just like a "Free out of Jail" card). Ate on Ramadan? Free a slave. Accidentally killed an innocent pedestrian while driving? Expiation, free a slave. Cheated on your wife? Free a slave.


What is the ruling for migrating to a Non-Muslim country?


You can travel to a non-believer county for work or other noble reasons and is allowed as long as it's temporary.


Even if the standards of living may be better, you may not be able to practice your religion freely, and worse you and your children will be surrounded by tempting sin.


Was 911 an inside job?


This is clearly a fabrication, how is even possible for Arabs that cannot even read to perfectly maneuver the planes with such accuracy?


Even experienced pilots failed in their first three attempts in a simulation, this is just logical thinking. Even the collapse of the towers itself can't be explained.


How should muslims react to burning of the Quran?


Little bro (أخي الصغير), just ignore them. You are free to feel anger, but if you engage them they win.


If when going outside a dog barks at you, would you get on all fours and bark back to him?


Thoughts on people who hate Saudi Arabia?


The people questioning Saudi Arabia are mostly not real believers. They question the country without realizing how free the Muslims living there truly are.


"This people should GETALIFE."

- Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem


Should we differentiate between Jews & Zionists?


Most of Jews are against the teachings of Islam, we should treat them in the same way, keeping in mind there could be singular exceptions.


Sahih Muslim records the expulsion of Jewish groups from parts of the Hijaz and describes conflicts involving Banu Nadir and Banu Qurayza.


What is the true meaning of Jihad?


Jihad means fighting for Allah. So his word can stay on top of all things.


"إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا"

☝️


Are Al Qaida & ISIS Mujahideen of Islam?


They are terrorists, who managed to stain the name of good Muslims.


Al-Khawārij (الخوارج) were an extremist sect known for fighting and killing Muslims, the term is used for modern violent extremists who target innocent people.


Does practicing shooting guns give reward like archery?


Yes, it does. The same way archery was seen in the past as a way to fend off enemies, the same applies here in modern standards. Learning how to use weapons to protect your religion.


Learn how to manipulate weapons, and master your craft. This is part of the Muslim identity.


Manhood Questions

Which haircuts that are prohibited for men?


Having other parts than the top of your hair shorter, is what we call a normal haircut which is not prohibited. However haircuts that directly imitate or copy the disbelievers are in fact Haram.


As a Muslim you MUST preserve your identity, meaning you must be easily identifiable by other Muslims. For example by leaving your beard and following the ruling of Islam. Allah knows best.


What is the ruling on men having long hair & ponytail?


If it's norm in the place where you reside, then it's allowed. However if this is considered feminine or abnormal in your area is considered a major sin.


You are not allowed to look gay nor to copy a Kāfir (كافر).


Who is a Dayyoth?


Dayyūth (ديوث) are simply men who don't care what women do, they end up accepting or tolerating sexual immorality or adultery involving females in their household.


This are people that failed being a guardian and protector of their woman. So basically cucks.


Can men wear the red color?


The prohibition only applies to something that is completely red. This makes the streamsnipers wearing the classic red t-shirt Haram.


If the clothing is mixed with any other color it becomes Halal.


Length of garment above ankles for men. Is wearing below ankles without pride ok?


If the clothing covers your ankles by mistake, you will be punished in hell. If you willingly choose to do it out of arrogance, the punishment will be even more severe.


When your ankles are completely hidden and covered by your garments, you enter the category of Isbāl (إسبال), Allah won't even talk to you in the Day of Judgement, and you shall forever burn in the eternal fire.


Can I Shave my Moustache & Beard?


The hair that grows in the lower jaw is considered part of the Lihyah (لِحْيَة) you cannot trim nor cut it. However you are allowed to trim your mustache and to shave your neck and part of the cheeks that not include the hair on your cheekbones.


Shaving your neck will you awkward and awful but this is still permissible.


Can men be shirtless in front of other men?


As Muslims you must protect from the temptation of Shaitan. If you expose yourself like this you will attract the evil eye, but also makes you show arrogance which is a sin.


Covering your body is part of Allah's blessing.


Purity Questions

Should we change the bedsheets after intercourse? Please clarify


We can assume that semen or Mani (مني) is pure because it's mentioned in the sacred texts that we can clean stained cloth by just rubbing it instead of washing. But we cannot know for certain if any other genital fluids are pure because they are not specifically mentioned.


The most authentic opinion is that whatever that is mixed with semen is considered permissible, so it won't affect your Salat (صلاة).


What are the level of impurities?


At the bottom, with the lowest level of impurity we have most genital fluids. Here we include things like Semen (Mani) and pre-cum (Mathi). Then a tier up we have excretions, like urine, popoo and menstrual blood. Finally the most extreme cases of impurity come from saliva from others.


You must wash the contaminated kitchen equipment seven times with water and once with soil before it can be pure again.


How to deal with splashes after urinating and flushing?


In this situations we always assume that things are pure until proved with certainty that they are not. If still in doubt you can just wash it.


If you pee while sitting and feel a splash, it's always a 50/50. However you can just ignore and assume you are clean and not touched by najāsah (نجاسة).


How to know when your period ends?


What counts is the presence or absence of the main flow of blood, if there is no discharge she can go back to praying after 12 hours.


If there is no blood on her clothes she doesn't have the need to change, she can pray with that same clothing.


Does sleeping while sitting or reclining break one's Wudu?


Once someone falls asleep, their body relaxes being unable to control his fluids. This neglects their Wudu, which means you must go and wash yourself again.


Simply resting your eyes, but staying aware of your surroundings means that is okay.


Got urine drops on my pants👖so I put a bit of water on it. Is this enough?


You should take out your pants off pour water in that area and squeeze it. Otherwise flooding the area with plenty of water will do.


The Prophet said that pouring a bucket of water will dilute the urine and purify the clothing. Keep in mind a ratio of ten to one.


What about only using toilet paper to purify oneself?


Yes, Istijmār (الاستجمار) or dry cleaning the area were an impurity left the body is recommended if you don't have water.


You are not allowed to use less than three stones when dry wiping. Same three stones.


How to purify an item that can't be washed if it has impurity?


There is two types of surfaces:

-The ones that are porous (Wood, cloth, bricks, etc.), to clean this materials you need to wash them.

-And the ones that are smooth (Glass, metal, etc.), just wiping this ones will be enough.

If you still can't wash it, it must be thrown away.


Knowledge erases any doubts that Shaitan imposes upon you.


What about doubts whether he passed wind or not (Detect sound or smell)?


Again, doubts don't defeat certainty, if you are not sure you farted (passed wind) there is no reason for you to restart your prayer.


If you can hear it or smell it however you most remake your Wudu and prayer, since this invalidates it.


Wife Questions

Is loving & taking care of your wife obligatory or just providing for her is sufficient?


Just limiting a marriage to dry obligations is not what what Allah intended. Compassion, love and mercy should be present in every instance of a lasting relationship.


The Prophet himself advises that to increase the love in a relation you shall share gifts with your peers.


It's against Sunnah if women put a condition in the marriage contract about not having a second wife?


No, the wife has the complete right of divorcing in the case her husband fails to fulfill what was established initially in said marriage contract.


Muhammad objected to Ali marrying the daughter of Abu Jahl while he was married to Fatimah. The Prophet said that Fatimah was part of him and that what harmed her would harm him.


What if after marriage i found that she is not virgin, and she had multiple relations before?


We define as virgin as someone who was not previously married, if they confessed any previous extra marital affairs after engagement and they repent you are allowed to forgive them.


You are not allow to tell anyone that you had unlawful relations before marriage, this is forbidden.


My Husband watch porn does he committing adultery and can i reject him?


You are allowed to reject him, however the issue resides in you (the wife) for not fulfilling your role correctly.


If you simply do your job correctly as a wife, and exhaust him in the bedroom this would not happen.


How to deal with a cheating Husband?


Similar to the previous question, the wife should take better care of her figure, trying to fix the situation if possible.


If she is fat she needs to get her act together, go in a diet, do more excessive, so she can please her companion.


Can a guy have a relationship with a girl if the intention is Marriage & he avoids being Haram with her?


Any type of premarital relation is sinful, if you do you forever will burn in hellfire.


Shaitan will slowly lead you to commit Haram acts, you will fall for it no matter how strong your willpower is.


Who will be the spouse in Jannah if one of them is in hell for sometime?


When a Muslim couple dies they will be admitted to Jannah (جنّة) or paradise, as a couple and live in total happiness forever. If they are sinful however, they have to be purified from sin, they may be separated until then.


There is drinking and partying in paradise, but not like the ones in earth. No orgies and homosexuals either.


Why is it allowed to marry cousins in Islam when science tells us that the child may be abnormal?


Science can be wrong the only certain truth comes only from the texts in the Quran.


The prophet himself married his cousin Safiyyah bint Huyayy (صفية بنت حيي), even tough Allah told him it was not recommended. Later he also gives his daughter Fatimah to his cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib (علي بن أبي طالب) and they never had any problems.


Are the colored discharges BEFORE the period or menses, part of the period or not?


Once again, if it is a fine thread or few drops of blood, disregard the color of the discharge and get to praying. Once the blood really starts, you cannot pray until there is no more colored discharge.


As long as the main flood of blood as not started yet, resort to Wudu (وُضوء) then you can pray. Once it starts you are not allowed until you get your purity back in the form of a clean or no discharge.


Is it a valid divorce if husband threatens it? 3 divorces in one sitting


If a husband says "You are divorced" three times in a row he cannot remarry you unless you marry some other man then divorce him. Threats are not valid.


Previously a husband only had to say it once, however this will change depending in the ruling of the Islamic court in your location of residence. Take your particular case there for more detailed information.


Can I stop having intimacy with my husband if he is cheating on me?


Unless you have the proved certainty that he is in fact being unfaithful, you need to trust him. Otherwise, yes you can avoid him in fear of catching diseases.


Doubts are the doors for Shaitan to get into your mind.


I am in love with a non-Muslim man. What to do?


Avoid him, this is Shaitan in disguise. Even if he believes that Muslims are good people and respects them, he is still a Kāfir (كافر).


Follow the Sharīʿah (شريعة) unless you want to burn with him in the eternal fire of hell.


If men get Hoors in Jannah, what do women get?


Wives get their husband in paradise. That is it.


If men get two wives and Martyrs multiple virgins, what do woman get in the afterlife? This is question itself is a sign of envy, Shaitan is making you question the will of Allah.


Gender Questions

What is the stance of gender identity in Islam?


You are either a boy or a girl unless you have Ovotesticular Disorder of Sex Development (OT-DSD).

"I'm a bird."

- Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem


My relative recently came out of the closet, can I invite him? How to keep ties?


As long as he not being loud about it and just keeping it to himself, you can treat him like any other Kāfir (كافر). Otherwise avoid him like cancer.


Just put them back into the closet.


What is a Transgender?


This are individuals who reject the sexual identity they were born with and try to imitate the opposite gender.


Such people are condemn in Islam, this goes against their nature. They are called to repent by Allah.


Chud Questions

Can we go to a mixed gym (Men & Women)?


No, this is forbidden.


Let's say that you lower your gaze, and if fact you do. Can you guarantee that no woman will actually look at you in as an object of desire? The answer is probably yes, because you are a Baj.


What to do when pressured to shake hands with the opposite gender?


You are not allowed to touch them, just mention that this is prohibited in your religion.


It's better to get stabbed in the head by a steel needle than to touch a woman who is not permissible for you.


How to curb your Sexual Desire if you cannot marry?


Fasting can help you tune down your sexual drive, also avoiding contact with females can greatly help, remember to lower your gaze.


The Prophet says that everyone that can get married should get married. If it's hard for you, try getting into a relationship with a female that may be in a inferior level of beauty or wealth, she will most likely accept you.


How to low gaze when talking to non-Mahram women?


You must distract your gaze after the first look of non-Mahram women, even if they feel offended. They are not there to socialize with you rather to do their job.


There are some exceptions, for example during necessities, during a proposal and if it's your job.


How to end a Haram relationship?


You are being sinful right now, you must stop the relationship immediately and save yourself from the eternal fire of hell. Even if this means breaking her heart, this is just Shaitan trying to make you feel guilty.


Cut all ties of communication with this girl, even if she threatens to kill herself, that is her problem. Look for your own salvation.


Is it Haram for men and women to work together?


Yes, this is. No matter how strong willed the men nor woman is the temptation of Shaitan always wins. This is the reason for the ruling of Islam being imposed.


Even one of the strongest willed Muslims that worked in one of the head of states, was seduced by an intern Jew woman, despite him having a beautiful wife and family.


Can I perform CPR on a non Mahram women?


You are allowed to do it, you are not finding pleasure or fun in it. There is not anything more beautiful than to save a life.


Use logic and common sense here and in similar cases.


Is masturbation Makrooh or Haram?


Masturbation is not Makrooh (heavily discouraged, but not prohibited), is in fact Haram. If you can't find a wife you MUST resort to fasting.

Drawings and Pictures Questions

Can you wear clothes with crosses and logos?


As long as the drawings are lifeless and don't resemble the creations of Allah, praised be his name, it's permissible by Islam. If the cross that is being mentioned is the one that Christians use, then no because it's Haram.


If they are 2D logos it can be simply scratched, covered or removed, but 3D figures or statues SHOULD BE DECAPITATED! YOU MUST CUT THEIR HEADS OFF!


Can we draw picture of humans or animals without eyes?


The general consensus among scholars is that as long as the drawings don't have any facial features nor a head it is permissible.


According to the Prophet (عليه السلام) the ones that should be the most punished in judgement day will be the ones that specifically draw pictures of humans and animals.


What about images of living things or cartoons on clothes & validity of Salah?


The main issue comes from the drawings of humans present in the clothing. Angels won't be able to protect you.


If you pray like this, the prayer is valid. But you are still sinful.

Shaitan Questions

My house is possessed by Jinn, what to do?


The Jinn becomes stronger the more you are scared of him, just keep in mind that in fact he cannot hurt you. Reciting the Surah Al-Baqarah and blowing air out around the house will be enough to burn them, do this repeatedly. Allah, praised be his name, is stronger and will make them leave your home.


Reading the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (سورة البقرة) will keep the Jinn away from your household for three days and nights.

There is three classifications for dreams:

-Visions from Allah: Something good about to happen. It may actually come true.

-Whispers of Shaitan: You are supposed to say: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ" three times and spit to your left. Don't tell anyone about the dream, it's Haram.
