Paraphrasing from works of other writers
Assalaamu alaykum. I am going to write a scientific work. If I read articles on the internet or from books and then paraphrased several paragraphs (I read and understand the idea and then write it again in my own language/style), is this considered cheating and sinful? Please reply, and may Allaah bless you.

Failing to find righteous company
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. What should I do if I am unable to find a righteous company? Either I find sinners, or I find innovators. Should I mix with these bad people to fill the gap, or should I keep by myself?

Using an object whose owner cursed
Assalaamu alaykum. If someone says, "Damn it," whether deliberate or not, to an object, does it become haram for him to keep it in possession?

If someone were to peek from exactly below the robe (which of course does not happen), my ʻAwrah (what should be.. More

Islam encourages husband to help wife with her chores
Assalaamu alaykum Shaikh. I have read one of your recent fatwas about men doing household work. I am little bit surpised and shocked that if the husband gives water to his wife for washing her hands it is shameful for him! Can you explain please? If the wife is sick and the husband takes care of her by himself, is it also considered serving the wife.. More

Returning Salaam addressed to other person - Using exclamation 'Jeez'
Assalaamu alaykum. I have 2 questions:
1. If I hear someone give the Salaam greeting to another person (not me), do I have to answer it? For instance, if I hear a stranger say the Salaam to a person beside him (not me), and I am nearby, should I answer it too (in case the person did not answer his Salaam)?
2. Is saying "jeez" sinful? As we know,.. More

Salaam greeting should precede any other speech
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding this hadith: "The Salaam is to be said before asking any questions, so whoever asks you a question before giving the Salaam, do not answer him." Is it Saheeh (authentic), and does it apply in all situations? For example, what if my parents come to me and ask me a question without starting with the Salaam?

Fear of harming non-Muslim neighbor by reciting Quran daily
Assalaamu alaykum, Scholar. Bothering the neighbor is a major sin. We live in Spain, in a house in which our neighor and us are separated by only a thin wall. I am currently memorising the Quran, so I memorise and revise almost every day, which means that I raise my voice, since memorising and revising with a low voice is not the same. I also raise.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. If I have a verbal fight one dayin the street with an unknown person whom I have never met before, and then some other day, I get to meet him for the second time, is it a must to at least greet him with the Salaam? Can I not refrain from talking to him at all?

Unintentional backbiting
Assalaamu alaykum. I have two questions regarding backbiting:
1. If a person backbites another person accidentally, unintentionally or out of forgetfulness, does he still bear the sin of backbiting?
2. If the backbitten person does not get offended of what was said behind his back, then does the backbiter still bear the sin of backbiting?
