Q: I am working to build a social media app where users can post their selfies and self expressions. Will it be haram?
Women can share only face photos, as the man. Both can see each others face only. In that case, will it be haram?
Q: I am a 17 year old girl and I have a strong inclination to wear the niqaab. However, my father and grandmother said no. If I wear it, a bit of chaos will start in my household and I will be shouted and sworn at. I am okay with that but I don't know if it is better to wear the niqaab or to keep momentary peace in my family.
Q: When complimenting someone, do we have to actually mean what we’re saying to them?
For example: If I tell someone I like their clothes to be nice, do we have to actually like their clothing to be able to compliment them?
What if we don’t think anything of it or don’t actually like it or dislike it, for example, would this be lying or deceit?
What about when it comes to marital relationships? Compliments would be good for the relationship I think but do you have to mean them every time you compliment your spouse? Or would it be okay to just say it to make them happy even if you don’t actually think that lying to one’s spouse is permissible. I think I’m pretty sure but is that only when they ask you, for example: "how do I look?" and you respond with a lie to not hurt their feelings.
Can it also be without them asking too, like you spontaneously tell them for example “you look nice today” when you might not actually think so?
Q: I wanted to know sometimes I get up and perform tahajjud 1 hour before the time of Fajr but after performing my Fajr I doss of many times and put my alarm for ishraaq salaah to get up again. Is it permissible for me to do that ?

Q:
1. Is it permissible to play Roblox while doing dhikr in one's mind to avoid wasting time? Though at times one may forget to do so. Some aspects of the game include:
• Free mixing. Avoidable, though a non mahram may approach.
• Clothing (for the characters) that are inappropriate in front of non mahrams. Avoidable.
• Players using heads and faces (can lead to exposing images of animate beings from one's device.)
• Games that include impermissible aspects. Avoidable.
So, the Haram aspects can be avoided In shaa Allah, but other players can engage in it.
Also, the game consists of a variety of other games (exploration games, designing outfits, maybe riddles or the like etc.).
2. Is it permissible to replace the head using some other object like a watch, flower, planets etc. as long as it doesn't have a face or isn't the head of an animal or person?
3. If a non mahram approaches me and I leave the game soon/quickly afterwards without saying anything, is it permissible?
Q: Is it permissible to roleplay? Like pretending or playing as a certain/made up character alone or with others?
Q: My 7 year old asked me whether "thuma aameen" is made up by people or a sunnat. Please clarify this for us.
Q: Can a man have a vasectomy?
He and his wife have both agreed this is the best way forward because they do not want anymore kids and she does not want to go on any medication or injection. Is a vasectomy allowed in Islam?
Q: Two married women who are friends kiss each other on their lips as a form of greeting, is this allowed? They argue that they have no desire or lust but only sisterly love. Is this possible? Sometimes their mouths are open too. I believe it is haraam.
1. Isn't kissing on lips for two females haraam and sin
2. If they kiss with their mouths open (not deep kissing though) it is bigger sin and haraam
