Suffering waswasah in recitation during prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. Please respond urgently. I guess that you know from my questions that I suffer from Waswasah (devilish/obsessive whisperings) in recitations. To make things easier for me, can I skip the first Tashahhud and limit myself to the following short version of Tashahhud in the final unit of prayer both in the individual prayer and in congregation?..

Being patient with illness vs. seeking treatment
Assalaamu alaykum. When the epileptic woman asked the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,to supplicate for her so that she may recover, the Prophet suggested her to be patient.

Nurse looking after women who undergo voluntary abortion
I am a nurse, and I look after patients in hospitals. This includes patients who terminate their pregnancy. I am not involved in giving any medication to trigger the abortions, but I do check their blood pressure, fill forms, give them painkillers, and discharge them. I just want to know whether this is haram.

Waswaas about presence of barrier on foot between water and skin
Assalaamu alaykum. Following up from the last answer about the barriers on my foot, how far should I go in searching for them and removing them? Currently, I check my feet with a nail clipper and/or pair of scissors in order to cut out any of the spots that are stuck to my toe nails. Again, how far am I suppose to go in checking for barriers to water?.. More

Site does not answer hypothetical questions
Assalaamu alaykum. If an adult, sane non-Muslim who lives in a non-Muslim land accepts Islam and then wants to leave Islam and does so, but they did not know anything or much about Islam and are very ignorant about Islam, can they be excused from the punishment for apostasy if their land was to become an Islamic State that is ruled by the Shariah? What.. More

If there is an item/product that represents disbelief or has something related to disbelief written on it and I hold it or touch it, do I become responsible for it?

Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. If present pregnancy or further pregnancies increase and worsen sickness and even threaten a woman's life, and that is confirmed by doctors, but the husband does not give his consent for abortion or permanent contraception, should the wife continue to obey him in that even when she is severely sick or harmed or may die?

Waswaas about committing act of Kufr
I had sent you a question, but you referred me to another fatwa which I could not understand, so I am rephrasing my question. I am afflicted with Waswaas (devilish/compulsive whisperings), so I keep on thinking about whether I have done something that has taken me out of the fold of Islam and whether I am still Muslim or not. Is this the kind of doubt.. More

Breaking promise (to Allah) under influence of Waswaas
Assalaamu alaykum. I have been suffering from Waswaas (devilish whisperings/obsessive doubts) for a long time. For some reason, I thought that breaking a promise is Shirk (associating partners with Allah in worship), and unfortunately I broke that promise while thinking that breaking that promise was Shirk and will lead to Shirk. Now I know that breaking.. More

Why smoking is prohibited
Why do you say that smoking is haram while 1-2 cigarettes per week or per day during a short period do not harm or only harm in a very small extent that no one notices? For example, if a person only smokes 1-2 cigarettes on Fridays, or he smokes a small amount of cigarettes per day just for one week, or he sometimes hookah smokes, which, according to.. More
