Q: The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) and everyone else were forbidden to see the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) reading quran with his head in the lap of Aaisha (radhiyallahu anha). They were also forbidden from seeing him kiss Aaisha (radhiyallahu anha) on the forehead.

So my question is: Is it permissible to imagine the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) placing his head on the lap of Aaisha (radhiyallaha) and reading quran? Is it permissible to imagine him kissing Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) on the forehead?

I sent this question twice to aqwaf (not your website) and they replied that it is permissible. But I find it difficult to trust their answer because the principle says: EVERYTHING THAT IS FORBIDDEN TO SEE IS EQUALLY FORBIDDEN TO IMAGINE.

Also, I ask you to elaborate what it means to imagine him in a respectful manner. Because there are scholars that say that imagining him naked is kufr size sin. Isn't the imagining of him with his head in the lap of Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) and reading quran somehow close to indecency with imagining him naked? Because placing your head in your wife's lap is one of the ways of showing affection and intimacy, although not sexual but it is still intimacy. And it is relatively close to sexual intimacy because from one kiss and one touch you can easily end up having sexual intercourse.

When he read quran with his head in the lap of Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) he undoubtedly felt the soft and kind touch of her legs below his head. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) undoubtedly felt her kind lap keeping his head straight in order for him to read quran.

Pininterest.com (a non Islamic website like Wikipedia) even has a picture of a man kissing a veiled woman in the forehead with the title: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to kiss Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) before leaving for prayer. Is it allowed to look at this picture?

LASTLY BECAUSE I HAD AN INSTINCT TO IMAGINE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, I ASK YOU to elaborate the saying: (THAT HE MUST BE IMAGINED IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER). What does it mean to imagine the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in a respectful manner? Is it respectful if you imagine him with old clothes because he was poor? Is it respectful to imagine him sick and weak in his death bed? Is it respectful if you imagine his skeleton, stomach, heart, liver?

Q: My husband and I are disagreeing on something. So basically my husband has friends that are non-Muslim which I dont have a problem with. However my problem is that my husband and them pass their cigarettes around. In my opinion, I say it's wrong as they are non-Muslims and they drink and so on, so their saliva should not touch my husband's mouth. However, my husband feels that I am being unrealistic and it's not their saliva that's touching the cigarettes, it's only their lips. I still feel that's not right. Please advise what is the correct way for this.

Q: Recently, I came across a clip of someone quoting the following hadith and explaining its great virtues:

عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من قام بعشر آيات لم يكتب من الغافلين، ومن قام بمائة آية كتب من القانتين، ومن قام بألف آية كتب من المقنطرين (سنن ابي داود رقم 1398)

The same person explained further that if one is unable to recite that amount of verses from memory, he may recite them looking inside the Quran Sharif in salaah, be it in nafl or fardh salaah. His argument was the practise of Hazrat Aaisha (radhiyallaahu anha), who would appoint a person by the name of Zakwaan and he would lead her in salaah during the month of Ramadhaan, while reciting from a mushaf.

My questions are:

1. Does this hadith refers to only reciting in salaah or can refer to reciting outside the salaah?

2. Is it permissible to recite looking inside the Quran sharif while in salaah?

3. If is not permissible in the Hanafi mazhab, is there any permissibly for it in the other mazaahib? Under which circumstances will it be permissible (i.e. any difference in the maslah as far as a person who knows some portion of the Quran from memory and who doesn’t know, and any difference between a fardh and nafl salaah)?

4. If a Hanafi performs his salaah behind a person who is reciting looking inside the Quran sharif, will his salaah be valid?

Q: In a Hadith, our Nabi (SallAllahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam) forbade it for Muslims to hate each other and we cannot boycott one another for more than 3 days.

My question is that on social media, some people are intent on bullying others. Would it be permissible to block people whose behaviour is harmful to a person, even if the opposite person is Muslim?
