Commentary

Q: Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) mentioned [the case] of a man who, having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the sky saying “O Lord! O Lord!,” while his food is haraam (unlawful), his drink is haraam, his clothing is haraam, and he has been nourished with haraam, so how can [his supplication] be answered? 

Question: 

1. Does this hadith mean that it is "impossible" according to Islam that such a person's supplication (dua) will be accepted by Allah? 

2. According to Islam, can the supplications (dua) of such a person whose income, food, clothing are haraam be accepted by Allah, not because the person deserves to have his supplications (dua) accepted, rather due to Allah's infinite kindness, generosity, mercy?

Q: As per Hadith no. 7054 narrated in Sahih Muslim "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created the things entailing labor (or hardship/displeasure) on Tuesday and He created light on Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and He created Adam (peace be upon him) after 'Asr on Friday..." (Sahih Muslim)." 

As per this Hadith, on Tuesday things which are hated upon/unliked are created. So I want to ask, if one is born on Monday or Friday, are they considered to be lucky/blessed? Similarly, if a person who is born on Tuesday, is that person unlucky/unblessed or unliked in the sight of Allah who has to go through a hard life? 

Q: Abu Hurairah and Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “War is deception.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 

Is it permissible to deliberately spread a false rumour accusing the wife of a prominent political enemy of the Muslims of adultery, with the intention of discrediting him, causing turmoil and distress in his personal life, and thereby hoping to gain a strategic advantage for the Muslims?

Q: How do we reconcile the Hadith of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) telling Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (radhiyallahu anhu) to leave his children wealthy rather than poor, with the story of Umar bin Abdul Aziz (rahimahullah) leaving nothing for his children?

Q: What is a camels hump in Shariah? Is a high bun regarded as a camels hump?

Q: Can evil eye from envy and such cause affects to someone’s physical appearance or lifestyle? If someone gives you evil eye can it do stuff like ruin skin and change the way you look?

Q: What is greed in Islam as Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that wealth without greed is a blessing and wealth with greed is not a blessing. So is earning more considered greed? 

And I read somewhere that Ameerul Mumineen said that be moderate in earning. I don't know if it's authentic or not. If yes, should we earn moderate and not earn more?

Q: I would like to enquire about the Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) regarding the curse of cutting 2 lengths of hair.
