Q: I read in one of your fatwas that if a person is unable to pray standing in a plane and therefore prays seated, they must repeat the salah later on. Is this because
* The first salah was invalid - so that they should intend qada when they repeat it?
* Or was the first salah valid (i.e. fulfilled the fard) and the second one just a repetition of it in a more perfect manner?

Q: One day I had an argument with my wife about something and it got so bad that I got angry and used the word divorce. However, after some time, the anger subsided that same day and we both made peace. Is our marriage valid? If yes, what is the atonement for it? And if not, what is the solution?
Q: I have seen previous questions, about whether purchasing extended warranties which are a separate line item at the time of purchasing a product, are haraam.
Please advise if it is permissible to sell the same item, at different price points but the higher price point has a longer warranty? The warranty is not a separate line item.
Q: I remember hearing in Fazaail Sadaqaat that one can eat doubtful food if ones parents give it so they don't feel bad. Can I practice on this and does not knowing if a certain non certified item's ingredients count as being doubtful?
Q: I sponsor a Hifz Orfan which means I sponsor a child to become a Hafiz and to get an education and to have healthy meals throughout the day but the charity I do it through which is called Penny Appeal has links to Shia Islam.
I googled Penny Appeal and it says 'Penny Appeal is a non-denominational international humanitarian organization and does not identify as exclusively Shia or Sunni'. It also says 'Penny Appeal serves beneficiaries from all backgrounds regardless of religious affiliation'. So the children I sponsor could be Shia or Sunni or they could be Shia when they hit puberty. So what shall I do? Shall I cancel the donation or keep it going?
Q: My friend’s father earns commission on selling insurance policies. I have been asked to prepare an accounting system to record all the income and expenses and will be compensated for it. Insurance includes both Islamic and conventional. Will my income be haraam or halaal?
Q: There is a platform where you earn money by engaging with social media—liking and following users on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Every day, you're given a set number of simple social media tasks (such as following a profile or liking a post), and you're paid for completing them.
When you first join, you're required to purchase a package—this is often referred to as an "exam" or "activation" package. The size of your daily task quota (and potential earnings) depends on the package you choose. For example, if you buy a package worth around $550, you'll receive 7 tasks per day. More expensive packages generally unlock more tasks and higher daily earnings.
You can also boost your income through referrals. By inviting others to join CloudBoost, you earn a commission when they sign up and purchase a package. Additionally, when the people you invited start referring others, you earn a percentage of their activity as well—creating a multi-level earning structure. Is this pyramide scheme and therefore haraam?
