Is plastic najis or pak?
Do you ask, because it may contain fatty acids derived from animal sources? The plastic may undergo istahala, which would change it's physical properties and it would no longer be considered najis, but I have found no evidence of this. We do not know if all plastics are made in this similar way, either. The best thing to do is to ask a religious scholar, because there simply isn't enough information floating around out there to form a valid decision. In the meantime you can try to avoid coming into contact with plasic while being wet, even though this may too be difficult, since so many items now days are made from plastic.
Why do Muslims remove shoes when pray?
It is customary, in many countries in the world and in many homes, to remove shoes upon entering a house; for practical purposes. It ensures that no dirt or dust is brought in on the shoes and this is considered to be respectful towards the host/hostess. Religiously, people remove their shoes as a sign of respect when standing on ground that is believed to be holy e.g. Moses was instructed to remove his sandals when in the presence of God (story of the Burning Bush which was afire but not consumed). Not only Muslims but Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists removed their footwear when praying; it is a sign of humility and respect.
What does an Islamic prayer mat look like?
the Muslim payer mat is a mat that Muslim lay on the floor and pray on 5 times a day.They also have 2 wash before they pray Dear mat is only used to avoid Najis thing, it does not represent anything, cause we don't know if the ground is clean or not, if we know we are praying on is clean, we can pray without a mat.

Is nightfall normal according to Islam?
Muslim scholars consider ejaculation something that makes one temporarily ritually impure known as Najis; it means that a Muslim who has had an orgasm or ejaculated must have a Ghusl(which means: full ablution) before they can touch the Qur'an or perform the formal prayer known as salat. Informal supplications and prayers known as du'a do not require a bath.A wet dream is not a sin in Islam. Moreover, whereas a person fasting (in Ramadan or otherwise) would normally be considered to have broken his or her fast by ejaculating on purpose (during either masturbation or intercourse), nocturnal emission is not such a cause. He or she is still required to bathe prior to undergoing some rituals in the religion.Source: Wikipedia.
Is Islam worshiping held in buildings?
Muslims can pray or do Salat anywhere if all the 7 conditions are met:The place is not usurped. Prayers offered in a property whose use and benefit belongs to someone else, will be void, unless permission is taken from the entitled person.The place for prayers should not have such a vigorous movement which would make normal standing, Ruku or Sajdah impossible.A person should offer prayers at a place where he sees the possibility of completing the prayers. To pray at a place where one cannot complete the prayers, because of strong winds, or heavy rains or a teeming crowd, will render namaz void, even if one somehow manages to finish the prayers.The ceiling of the place where one prays should not be so low, that one may not be able to stand erect, nor should the place be so small, that there may be no room for performing Ruku (bowing) or Sajdah (prostration).If the place where one wishes to pray is najis (unpure, if it contains blood, urine, stool, semen, saliva of a dog, pig, etc.), it should not be so wet that its moisture would reach the body or the dress of the person praying. But, if the place where one places one's forehead while performing Sajdah, is najis, the prayers will be void, even if that place is dry. And the recommended precaution is that the place where one offers prayers should not be najis at all.As an obligatory precaution, women should stand behind men while praying. At least, her place of Sajdah should be in line with his thighs, when in Sajdah.The place where a person places his forehead while in Sajdah, should not be higher or lower than a span of four fingers, when compared to the place of thighs or toes of his feet. The details of this rule will be given in the rules relating to Sajdah.In addition to that, it is not recommended (Makrooh) to pray in the following places:Public bathSaline landFacing a human personFacing an open doorOn a road or street, provided that offering of prayers at these places does not cause inconvenience to others. If it is a source of inconvenience, and discomfort to them, it is haraam to obstruct their way.Facing fire or a lampIn the kitchens, and at every place where there is a furnaceFacing a well or a pit where people often urinateFacing the picture or models of living creatures, unless it is coveredIn the room where a Mujnib is presentAt a place where there is a picture, even if it may not be placed in front of the person who offers prayersFacing a graveOn the graveBetween two gravesIn the graveyardSource: This piece of information is taken from the book, Islamic Laws by Grand Ayatullah Sayed Ali Al-Hussaini Al-Sistani

Is perfums containing benzyl alcohol halal and allowed to be worn?
To clarify, the chemical structure of ethanol is C2 H5-OH. The entire alcohol family have one or more Hydroxyl OH group. Benzyl alcohol despite being part of this group is used as a preservative in baby products and can never be used to ferment liquors. There is a clear distinction between ethanol and other types of chemical alcohol, hence it would be permissible to use deodorants, perfumes and shampoos containing alcohol except ethanol and the alcohol derived from grapes or dates, which is in itself Najis (impure) making the body as well as clothing impure!
Is it allowed to buy cats with money in Islam?
It is not harram. In Shi'a islam if you have a cat in your house it shouldn't enter a prayer room or sit or touch your prayer mat or prayer cloths because the hair of the cat is 'najiss' (impure). Also a dog is najiss, its not harram to keep one but it will corrupt your salah (prayer), your prayer wouldnt be accepted, that also refers to cats. However according to Sunni islam, cats and cat hair is not najis at all. You can keep a cat in your house. It is just how you obtain one that is being discussed, ie you can adopt one but not buy it for profit. The prophet (s) did not elaborate on why this is. This means that even if there was cat hair on your clothes or the cat licked you, your prayer would still be accepted. The prophet (s) did his ablution from the same water that a cat had drunk from. However if the cat has a visible najasa in her mouth, like a mouse then you should wait a little while after this has been removed and her saliva is tahir (clean) again. However in sunni islam a dogs saliva is always najis although their hair is tahir as the hadith tells us. One cannot keep a dog for entertainment purposes at all. The only dogs that can be kept are hunting, guarding or herding dogs and even then they must not enter the house. If you keep a dog for entertainment purposes, your good deeds will be reduced by one to two qiraat everyday.
How does being a Muslim affect your diet?
In Islam, Halal is an Arabic term meaning "lawful or permissible" and not only encompasses food and drink, but all matters of daily life.The following is a partial list of Halal non-meat products:Bread productsCereals - breakfast, natural and organicCheese and cheese products and coatingsCoffee mixesDairy Products - whipped toppings and drink mixesDesserts - cakes and pastriesEggs - powdered, frozen, and processedFish and SeafoodFrench fries and Processed PotatoesFruits - fresh and/or driedGrainsHoneyIce Cream / Ice Cream ToppingsJams and JelliesLegumes and NutsMilk (from species considered Halal)Pastry Items - frostings and coatingsPastasPeanut ButterPizzasPlants (which are non-intoxicating)Sauces and dressingsSeasoningsSoup and Soup BaseSyrups - table and flavoredTea BlendsVegetables - fresh and frozenNon "Food" items which may also be Halal certified are:Capsules - Pharmaceutical and VitaminCosmeticsNutritional supplementsProtein powdersVitamins and mineralsIn the meat, poultry and food industry, animals such as cows, veal, lamb, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, ducks, game birds, bison, venison, etc., are considered Halal, but they must be slaughtered according to Islamic laws in order for their meat to be suitable for consumption.The Social Context of HalalHalal applies not only to food products but to all aspects of life and social context. One may hear mention of, "Halal money." What does this mean? For example, if a new religious center, school, hospital or any facility for social benefit is to be built, the funding must come from "clean" money or what is known as "Halal income." For example, money derived from gambling, the selling of alcohol, drug trafficking, illicit social vices, or any illegal activity is considered Haram or detrimental to society and therefore not acceptable or considered a Halal income.This is but one brief example of Halal in a social context. Therefore, when one hears the word Halal outside the food industry, one must think of it as a way in conduct of all aspects of life and betterment of society. Halal certification of food also means a pure and more wholesome nourishment for mankind.What is Haram?The opposite of Halal is Haram, which means "unlawful, not permissible or prohibited."They may also be summarized as: A. B. C. I. S.A: AlcoholB: BloodC: Carniverous animals or carriers of diseaseI: Idolartry (any animals or poultry sacrificed for voodoo, witchcraft or anythingdenying the existence of the the Deity is the same as paganism or atheism.)S: Swine and all pork by-products and/or derivativesThe following products are Haram and negate the Halal status:Swine/pork and all of its by-productsAnimals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughteringAnimals killed or falsely sacrificed in any name other than God, the Merciful such as slaughter of "false sacrifice" to witchcraft, paganism, voodoo or idolatry are forbidden.Alcohol, intoxicants and narcotic drugsCarniverous animals, birds of prey and scavenger animals or foulBlood and blood by-products (blood is the circulatory cleansing fluid of the body and is not to be consumed)Foods contaminated with any of the above products or contaminated with "impurities" (in Arabic, "najis")from processing, such as manure, urine, rodent droppings, infectous fluids, pus, etc are considered Haram.The following list of ingredients is a partial list of examples of what should be avoided and are considered non-Halal as well:AlcoholNon-Halal Animal FatEnzymes *Microbial Enzymes are permissibleGelatin * - from non-Halal source (fish gelatin is Halal)L-cysteine (if from human hair)LardLipase* only animal lipase need be avoidedNon-Halal Animal ShorteningPork BaconPork HamUnspecified Meat BrothRennet* All forms should be avoided except for plant/microbial/synthetic.RumStock* - a blend of mix species broth or meat stockTallow* - non-Halal speciesWine*May be consumed if derived from Halal animalsHalal EducationMany people assume that Halal and Kosher are the same thing. They are mistaken! If a product is Kosher certified, it does not mean the product is automatically Halal. The Kosher process differs from what is allowable by the Islamic Shari'a. For example, there are Kosher wines and alcohol but this is not permissible or acceptable for Halal foods. Another example of the difference between Halal and Kosher are slaughter procedures. For Halal meat and poultry processing, the Muslim slaughterman is required to acknowledge God's Creation and to thank God for providing sustenance by stating a prayer before each and every slaughter. Muslim slaughtermen invoke God's name before each and every slaughter with the statement, "In the name of God - God is the Greatest/Bismillahi Allahu Akbar." The Shochet, or Jewish slaughterman, does not and is not required to invoke God's name on each animal before each slaughter. With Halal slaughtering, the entire carcas is utilized. With Kosher slaughtering, only the front four-quarter of the beef carcass is utilized. The Kosher hind quarters cannot be considered Halal as the Shochet does not adhere to Islamic Law and Halal guidelines and does not pronounce the name of God before each slaughter. Within the meat industry, some companies and distributors attempt to claim or purport Kosher hind quarters to be sold as "Halal" beef. Within Islam, Kosher slaughtering and handling is respected and industry is responsible to understand the guidelines and differences between Halal slaughter, invoking God's name before each slaughter, and traditional Kosher slaughter rites and not mislead consumers.Simply put, Halal and Kosher are similar but yet as different as "vegetarian" and "vegan." However, it is a fact in some situations and circumstances, Kosher consumers accept Halal and some Halal consumers may accept Kosher.ISA offers educational seminars on topics such as:Halal requirementsThe difference between Halal and KosherThe Halal industryIngredient AnalysisIslamic Slaughter and SupervisionISA employs the largest well-trained group of highly qualified Islamic slaughtermen for the meat and poultry industry. Our slaughtermen travel throughout the United States to various U.S.D.A./F.D.A. plants to perform Islamic supervision, inspection, and Halal slaughtering.Halal products are derived from animals and/or poultry that have been slaughtered according to Islamic law under the following statement, "In the name of God - God is the Greatest/Bismillahi Allahu Akbar." The animals and/or poultry are slaughtered by means of a sharp knife, cutting through the skin, jugular vein, and trachea to result in thorough bleeding of the carcass in preparation for dressing and evisceration in accordance with Islamic guidelines. Halal products and production are properly separated and properly identified.Ingredient Analysis of Non-Meat ItemsISA has a team of food analysts that analyze ingredients to qualify what can be produced and sold to consumers as Halal. Just as with meat and poultry there are ingredients that are Haram and should be avoided. The most common types of ingredients that are most notably Haram are gelatin (excluding fish gelatin), lard and alcohol.ISA staff has done extensive work and cooperation within the potato industry, cheese manufacturing, and the ice cream ingredient manufacturing sector.islamicservices@isaiowa.org
