Predicting gender of fetus by ring and thread forbidden divination
I am pregnant by my husband, and there is an old wives' tale about gender prediction that says that if you hold a ring and thread over your stomach you will know whether it is a boy or a girl because of how the ring moves.

Moving to non-Muslim country to earn money and settle debt
Assalaamu alaykum. I recently made Hijrah (emigration) from the USA to a Gulf country, praise be to Allah.

Saying that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, sees and hears everything is a false statement
Is the following statement Shirk (polytheism): Allaah has given the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,special powers, he is all-hearing and all-seeing (omnipresent).

Calling Muslim 'Kaafir'
Once, I called two muslims (let us call them A and B ) Kaafirs (disbelievers)because A said, "I am not muslim," and B said, "I am not a muslim, I am a Jew." Then I asked him (B), "Really?" Then he said, "No." Or the conversation with B was something similar. I think that they were not very serious. Anyway, later on, I read the hadith that says, "Whoever.. More

This was related to me by.. More
