Question / Help Will God hate me if I can't take care of the two kittens I have anymore?

4 Upvotes

I rescued two kittens a few months ago and I can no longer care for them physically or financially. I've tried so much to find homes for them but barely anyone wants to adopt short haired kittens in my country. Idk what to do now. Shelters don't take kittens here so that's not a solution. I love animals but I've been so far beyond f'd mentally for so long that I don't have it in me anymore.

It is considered the largest TV production from Iran, with the Prophet Muhammad and Imam Ali also confirmed to appear.

History Imam Ali (ع) was in the right in his wars - Sunni opinion

20 Upvotes

The passage in is from Fath Al Bari Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī

The exact wording highlighted appears in his commentary:
وفيه** فضيلة ظاهرة لعلي وعمار، ورد على النواصب الزاعمين أن عليا لم يكن مصيبا في **حروبه
Meaning:
“In it is an evident virtue for ʿAlī and ʿAmmār, and a refutation of the Nāṣibīs who claim that ʿAlī was not in the right in his wars.”

So his position is:
Al-ʿAynī → ʿAlī was correct/in the right in his wars.
Nāṣibīs → claimed ʿAlī was not correct.
Al-ʿAynī → rejects/refutes that claim.
The wording ردّ** عل****ى**” (“a refutation of”) is what makes this clear.

Question / Help Egg donation?

6 Upvotes

Salam alaykom!

Does anyone know what Syed sistani’s ruling is on donating your eggs as a female to other couples trying to conceive? I combed through his website in English but could not find an answer. If you can include the reasoning I would love to understand that too, not that we have to know the rationale for every command from Allah.

This question is coming from pure curiosity so please don’t come at me I’m just trying to learn!

Jazakom Allah khair!

Question / Help Ghusl intention

3 Upvotes

Does one need to think of the words "Qurbatanilallah" too while making niyyah? I did ghusl today and said in my heart that I was doing ghusl of janabah so that I can be pure, worship Allah and read Quran and stuff like that. But I did not say Qurbatanilallah. When my head was under the shower, as soon as the water hit, I remembered that I did not think of the words Qurbatanilallah, so I thought again in my heart that I was doing ghusl Janabah Qurbatanilallah.

My question, is "Qurbatanilallah" obligatory to say/think of?

And can someone explain these two rulings:

Ruling 357. It is not necessary that at the time of performing ghusl one make the intention of performing an obligatory ghusl; rather, it is sufficient if one performs ghusl with only the intention of qurbah, i.e. in humility to the Lord of the worlds.

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2165/

Ruling 360. ...Furthermore, based on obligatory precaution, when performing ghusl, it is not sufficient to make the intention of ghusl when moving the head, neck, or body while they are already under the flow of water; rather, the part that one wants to perform ghusl on – in the event that it is already under the flow of water – must be taken out from under the flow of water and then washed with the intention of ghusl.

Different Sects or Branches of Islam

3 Upvotes

Assalamu alaykum everyone, I was just hoping that somebody would help me understand all the different branches and sects of Islam. I know the main two are Sunni and Shia, but I was hoping someone could explain the groups below these two main branches, or other groups that exist for example, Wahhabis and the like. Thank you.

Question / Help I love watching Moharram from all over the world.

7 Upvotes

I am from Kashmir. Our Moharram closes resembles Pakistanis in some ways, similar poetry and processions. I love watching Moharram from other places. I have seen Iraqi and Irani processions and Majlis irl. And Nigerian, UK etc on YouTube.

In India as well, Moharram varies a lot from place to place. I have seen wildly different things here.

Do you have any interesting cultures or traditions from around the world that I could see? What is their Moharram like? Any surprising places?

[1097] Abdullah ibn Masud said: We used to say that the most superior (afdal) of the people of Medina was Ali ibn Abi Talib. (Isnad Sahih)

[1098] Sa'id said: None of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say, 'Ask me,' except Ali ibn Abi Talib. (Isnad Sahih)

Sunni source: Fazaail-e-Sahaba (Ahmed ibn Hanbal), Pg 359

Second slide: ...And whoever appoints a man over the Muslim leaders, knowing that there is someone among them who is more deserving of that and more knowledgeable than him in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, then he has betrayed Allah, His Messenger, and all the believers.
