Keeping a wind chime in the garden

1 week ago By user2

Q: I would like to know if it is permissible to keep a 'wind chime' in the garden? 

We moved into a house and there is a wind chime in the garden, and I am not sure if its something that we could keep, as it makes a noise when the wind picks up and the kids enjoy it, or should it be removed as the sound might be considered music?

Questions from a high school student regarding the Hadith and Taraweeh

Q: These questions are from a high school student: 

1. What is the ruling regarding drawing animate objects and why did Allah specifically create us from clay and clay is a flowing thing so why are we not allowed to also create? 

2. Regarding the hadeeth, it has never been said that it was never changed. Only the Quraan is intact, so how would you know if all the hadeeth have not been changed? 

3. Regarding taraweeh, they say that people only started reading it after the passing of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), so it's not a must. Is it considered as a bidah?

Watching videos and looking at images

2 weeks ago By user2

Q: Is watching videos and looking at images haraam? 

For example, is watching a video on YouTube which includes no music or indecent clothing haraam, because there are videos which don’t include these. 

I am confused whether videos are haraam since most of them contain music and indecent clothing or are they are haraam because looking at animate things is haraam. 

Will watching a video which contains no music or indecent clothing be allowed? 

Is looking at images haraam? 

For example, is looking at an image of a bird haraam? 

If the image contains no indecency is it allowed?
