I told a lie to him so that he would increase my net speed... More

  • Parents pressuring son to divorce his wife

  • Child asking parents to supplicate Allah for him

    If I ask someone to supplicate for me, like my parents, does that mean that I miss the chance of being among the 70,000 who will enter paradise without judgement? If so, then if I did ask people to supplicate for me, do I still have a chance of being among the 70,000? .. More

  • Saying that someone was 'born by mistake' because of hating him

    Assalaamu alaykum. I unintentionally said that a man (who was the president of India) was born by mistake. Later, I realized that this sentence is not correct because Allah gave him life.

  • Deliberately evoking sexual thoughts to ejaculate

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently had a wet dream, but I stopped myself from completely ejaculating.

    Should someone who boasts of his sins or does things that are seen by some scholars as Kufr (disbelief) doubt his faith? If the others are right, would he enter Hell forever?

  • Failure to fulfil vow to fast three months in three years

    Assalaamu alaykum. Sir, my question is regarding making a promise to Allah, the Exalted, and then not fulfill it.
