Q: In the past, if a person watched videos of a cartoon called "The Simpsons" and the videos predicted the future and perhaps he was not sure if he ever believed them but he has an idea that at one point he rejected that. At one point he did think about the illuminati and devil worship and devils communicating with them. The person feared falling into Kufr, so is it Kufr?
Q: Given that taking a photo of a person is prohibited, and so is looking at the opposite gender, which of the two options below would be a lighter sin:
1. A mahram taking the photo and thus avoiding the sin of going to a non-mahram to take a photo, but the mahram is now doing a prohibited thing (i.e. taking the photo).
2. Going to a professional photo studio where the photo will be taken by a non-mahram. In this situation the mahram avoids the sin of taking the picture, but this causes an interaction between non-mahram individuals.
Which of the two is the better option?
Q: I am the owner of a jewellery shop that is located in a market where there are no more sellers of jewellery and my shop has gold in it. I wanted to know if Shari’ah allows placing a CCTV camera in a shop where there is a lot of risk of heists so by placing a camera I can observe what’s going on in the shop.
Q: A few days ago I was watching a documentary on YouTube about the king of Egypt named Tutankhamun. In this video, the youtuber said that after the death of this king, whoever passes by the mummy of this king, they died after few days. After this people started calling this mummy cursed.
Now some people commented and were asking that they are also in danger or not after they saw this video.
Also, in the video they showed the real pics of this mummy. I know that there is no concept of superstition in Islam. My question is that is this coincidence that people died after passing this mummy ? Not all the people died but some. People feel frightened because they saw real muumuy pics.
