Assalaamu alaykum. A few days ago, I found some wetness in my trouser as I woke up. I saw it on the backside of my trousers and did not check the rest of them. Since it was at the back, I neglected it. However, I fear that it could have been urine, as incontinence may occur sometimeswhile one is sleeping. I am very worried. Please help.

Once, when I was young, (I think) that I was reading in the Quran class while my mother was by herself at home, so she somehow got me to go back home (by phone call, I think).

However, because I am not that familiar with football rules and regulations,.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I suffer from Waswasah (obsessive doubts), and it is making my life miserable. I read a fatwa of yours that says that water is pure unless its color, smell, or taste has changed. What if a drop of water goes over an invisible impurity and then falls on your clothes or the floor. Will this drop be pure if its color, smell, or taste.. More
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. My father asked me for a spreadsheet to calculate some math necessary for shipping the stuff in our house because we will be migrating to another country, Allaah willing.

Recently, I have become a committed Muslim who prays five times a day and tries hard to avoid sins. I live in the West, and my question relates to my parents.

Assalamu alaykum Islamweb. I suffer from body imbalance. My right leg is somewhat shorter than my left leg. Due to this imbalance, I get muscular trigger points on my right side of my abdomen, which gives me pain, but the pain is bearable despite being very active. Whenever I engage in any activity, my right side is dominant. This has been happening.. More

Regarding the prohibition of hitting the face (as stated in a hadith), does it include hitting the face for self-defense as well? I mean, if I get attacked by a Muslim in the street, should I avoid hitting his face when fighting him? How about hitting other parts of his head (e.g. side, top, back, under the chin)? If hitting the face for self-defense.. More
