I'm looking for Shafi'is as I'm making a discord server for Shafi'i Fiqh as there are ones for Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali Fiqh but none for Shafi'i Fiqh

i (19f) prayed for the first time just now. it was Fajr prayer. i was studying and literally got a sudden need to pray because i heard the azan. the last time i prayed was when i was like, idk 9-12 or something.. i forgot how to do wudu and what to say while doing it, i also forgot whay to say during the prayer. i almost cried when i realized that i forgot them and i felt so sad that my parents never really taught me about Islam or helped me get closer to Allah (swt). i put my phone in front of me while doing the wudu and learned how to pray before actually praying. for the first time i didn't feel sad, scared or obligated. i didn't feel like Allah (swt) hates me and is mad at me. i was at peace to the point of crying by the end of the prayer. i actually am still sobbing while making thos post. it is going to be a long journey for me to learn everything about Islam on my own but im willing to take it and i plan to teach my 15 yrs old sis as well. please make a dua for me, im trying my best and i hope I'll be able to keep up with the prayers

Right now this is all the facial hair I have, and it looks very messy. Its been like this for 6 months, but I havent cut it bc I dont want to shave anything haram. I just would like to know if its permissible to trim this area shorter than it is, or even shave it. I would like references for any answers. JazakAllah Khair

Salam, l've met a girl who right now seems perfect. But she has a past that seems to bother me a little and I would like yalls opinion if I'm just overthinking or it's something I should consider. Right now we're 23 and 24, when she was 15-16 ish, she had a boyfriend who she kissed. She also was in a mixed friend group and considered being bisexual ( she didn’t pursue her feelings, and promises to me she has none of those feelings right now. ). Now she is a hijabi who is modest, pursues Islamic knowledge, doesn't wear makeup, isn't in any mixed friend groups and seems to be so excited at the thought of marrying me. When I ask her about her boyfriend from back then, she says she hates the thought of it, she hates her mistake, and hates remembering it. Would you look past these things and purse this person, or let her go and look for someone else. Please help. Jazakallah.

Salaam everyone, I'm a Muslim woman and currently on a journey learning about Islam. Now im a bit slow when it comes to learning and understanding things, my question is what do scholars mean when they say 'yes it is permissible to dye any hair colour other than black' this part I do understand.

But what do they mean when they say 'so long as that is not imitating non-Muslim women, such as if non-Muslim women or some non-Muslim women have a special way of dyeing or cutting their hair, and that is exclusive to them; it is not permissible to imitate them in that case. What's confusing me is what do they mean by not imitating non Muslims? What specific hair dyes or cutting hair that is exclusive to them do they mean by this? I'm sorry about the silly question I just need help understanding. JZK

earlier in the morning i did ghusul to life a major impurity, After doing so i passed wind before prayers and now im wondering does that make my 2 prayers invalid? or am i fine since i had ghusul not sure if it matters but i didn’t hear or smell the wind when it came out.(im a revert still learning the rules…)

I've a friend who's in search of someone who can supervise him and guide him spiritually. He's 17 from Pakistan. Online supervision & guidance is sufficient.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

I recently saw a picture in this sub, an image of a post by a girl saying that she became sceptic about Islam because of her teacher not answering her question and beating her.

Although, every Muslim hates what was said and sees it as a very wrong reasoning to dismiss the whole religion because of someone who mistreated you within a religious context, I wanted everyone to not be quick to hate the girl who is shown to have written that post, because, it could be a fake picture, it could be that some hypocrite took an image of a Muslim and fabricated that post… so anyways, to the girl, we have nothing against you until it is proven that you wrote that mess, and if you did, well…

Salam Allikum Brothers and Sisters!!

I have a fidgeting problem ever since I was a little kid due to anxiety, I always need to be doing something, I can't be sitting still. I used to be able to pray without fidgeting too much but lately my fidgeting has increased and it's been difficult for me to pray without fidgeting. So I was wondering if any of you have this problem, how they got over it, any advice on what to do. I don't think it's acceptable for me to have something to fidget with while praying. (I can fully concentrate on what I'm doing despite the fidgeting but I still don't think it's permissible? I read somewhere that you should avoid all unnecessary movements while praying.)

Asalaamu alaykum

Ive been homeless for some time now and exhausted my options i feel.

If anyone has any further suggestions or advice, Inshallah id welcome it.

Whoever thinks im a fraud is sadly far from the true. Ive offered video calls, meeting in person, whatever proof you need.

Im just trying to get back on my feet Inshallah. Ive bad issues in the past but I'm far from those dark thoughts Allhumdulliah.

Its a whole thing. Parents have both pased. Im the only siblings. I true suicide 2 times in the last couple of months. May Allah forgive me.

Without a job, i cant get an address. Without an address, im restricted for jobs.

A brother kindly offered help and a possible job but due to being ill the last 2 weeks or so, ive been off reddit until recently and lost the posts and conversations etc.

Please make Dua for my situation to improve Inshallah. Allah has reasons always. With your Duas Inshallah, i hope to get out of this situation.

Its cold, wet, uncomfortable. Barely eat. No warmth. Im sore. And just depressed, lonely and tired.

JazakAllah Khayran to you all

Where you pickpocket real people in certain games like FiveM let's say.

I'm a hijabi attending my local comicon with my friends. If you don't know what comicon is, it is essentially a convention for all things nerdy. I wanted to cosplay something obviously halal (as a muslim woman), and I thought that Geto Suguru's long kimnono outfit would be perfect. Unfortunately, in the story he was the leader of a cult at some point. So if I were to cosplay him, would that be a sin on my part?

When advising please try to be respectful, thank you!

EDIT: you guys are no help 😭

From 122.000 to 1 Million Muslims. That's astonishing growth.

Hey guys I’m 18 and a girl. Wallah I’m tired I’m taking a gap year but like I don’t want to go to university because it’s just so much commitment and fitnah going on that I don’t want to be apart of. I’m thinking of doing an online degree😭 but I just can’t be bothered is it worth it… I’m also thinking of degree apprenticeship but I’d have to be doing 40 hours a week and I’m just tired of the outside world.

Recently, I've been going through a difficult time, and I was talking with my dad about how Allah (SWT) is the Most Merciful and how deeply that mercy runs. He explained that believing one's sins are too great to be forgiven by Allah is a form of shirk because it implies doubting His infinite mercy. This perspective really changed how I understand forgiveness—reminding me that Allah’s mercy is boundless and that seeking forgiveness with sincerity is always welcomed

I hope this helps someone or educate someone. If you enjoyed this post please make dua for me as I am going through a lot of stress and anxiety.

1. Do I need to make up Qada over the years when I was not a practicing Muslim?
2. If the answer to question 1 is yes, can I make up more recent Qada first(e.g. Ones I missed today due to sleep, or due to recent travel), and then make up the old Qada from over the years?
3. If the answer to question 2 is no, what’s a good way to track the Qada (like is there an app or anything?)

Thank you.
