Drinking from bottles

Q:

ومنها ما أخرجه الحاكم من حديث عائشة بسند قوي بلفظ " نهى أن يشرب من في السقاء لأن ذلك ينتنه " وهذا يقتضي أن يكون النهي خاصا بمن يشرب فيتنفس داخل الإناء أو باشر بفمه باطن السقاء ، أما من صب من القربة داخل فمه من غير مماسة فلا ، ومنها أن الذي يشرب من فم السقاء قد يغلبه الماء فينصب منه أكثر من حاجته فلا يأمن أن يشرق به أو تبتل ثيابه ، قال ابن العربي : وواحدة من الثلاثة تكفي في ثبوت الكراهة ، وبمجموعها تقوى الكراهة جدا فتح الباري

Do you think the first illat is found when drinking from bottles?

Are the description of Jannah literal?

Q: It is all metaphorical and allegorical. Ibnu Abbas, the cousin of Prophet Muhammad (Sallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and one of the foremost authority on Quranic exegesis, said: "Nothing in Paradise resembles anything in the life of this world, except in name.''

In another narration, Ibn Abbas said, "Only the names are similar between what is in this life and what is in Paradise.''

What does this statement mean exactly? Does this mean that the descriptions of paradise are not meant to be taken literally and are simply metaphors?

Storing pictures of animate objects on the phone

Q: I dislike pictures of animte objects because I know it is haraam. I usualy save pictures of hadeets and recipes and Duas on my phone. I was over taken by my nafs and saw a dress that I liked that was emailed to me. I decided to keep that picture as I can show the dress maker. The woman wearing the dress isn't modest as her top part is open. I won't make such a dress as I will make it in a modest way. My question is when I go to my pictures on my gallery on my phone all the pictures show on the screen together so the picture of the girl in the dress is next to a hadeeth picture that I have on my phone and it is all exposed on the same screen. I thought it was disrepectful but left it for a while. Now I really regret what I did. I deleted the picture but have I disrespected the Hadeeth in anyway and is that kufr?

Lengthening the beard and trimming the moustache

Q: In the Hadith a command is given to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache. I know that it is waajib to lengthen the beard, but what about the moustache? Is shortening the moustache also waajib? If not, then people argue and say that if you say that lengthening the beard is waajib, then trimming the moustache should also be waajib because they in the same Hadith.

Limbs of wudhu shining with radiance

Q: In these Ahaadith:

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam went to the (Baqi`) cemetery and said, “May you be secured from punishment, O dwellers of abode of the believers! We, if Allah wills, will follow you. I wish we see my brothers.” The Companions said, “O Messenger of Allah! Are not we your brothers?” He said, “You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who have not come into the world yet.” They said; “O Messenger of Allah! How will you recognize those of your Ummah who are not born yet?” He said, “Say, if a man has white-footed horses with white foreheads among horses which are pure black, will he not recognize his own horses?” They said; “Certainly, O Messenger of Allah!” He said, “They (my followers) will come with bright faces and white limbs because of Wudu’; and I will arrive at the Haud (Al-Kauthar) ahead of them.” [Muslim]

and this: “On the Day of Resurrection, my followers (or Ummah) will be summoned ‘Al-Ghurr Al-Muhajjalun‘ from the traces of Wudu’.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

In these hadith, it says limbs will be shining white on the day of judgement. In an earlier hadith, you say that people will be white in complexion in jannah? I was wondering, does this mean people will be white in complexion on the day of judgement or just simply shine due to the light?

Hadith question

Q: I ask if the 'Ulama could kindly provide a reference for the following: "There was a Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anh) who had some cracks on his feet and as a form of treatment in that time he applied saffron to the cracks. When Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saw this he refused to greet this Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) until he washed it."
