E631 can be generated in 3 different ways:

  • It can be obtained from sardines (fish).
  • It can be made from brewer's yeast extract, which is a by-product of the beer-making process.
  • It can be extracted from pig's meat.

If method #1 is used, then it is halal. If method #2 is used, then it is not haram, although it is better to avoid it. However, if method #3 is used, then most certainly it is haram.

Is Girl from back is haraam in Islam?

according to Islam it is not Haram but it is highly abominable in Islam.

Does Islam argue that it is morally correct to eat or slaughter animals?

Answer 1

Yes. Animals like goat, sheep, deer, cow, rabbit etc. are slaughtered and eaten by the Muslims. Animals like donkey, pig, swine, dog, lion etc are illegal and Haram in Islam.

Answer 2

Islam holds that it is permissible to eat meats that come from halal animals that are slaughtered according to proper methods. Whether or not it is moral or not operates independent of these permissions. (For example, Islam permits slavery, which most people can agree is immoral, and Islam permits taking actions to save lives, which most people can agree is moral.) As a result, a Muslim can make strong moral arguments to defend the consumption of halal meats and a different Muslim can make strong moral arguments to defend vegetarianism.

Brighter than day darker than night haram if eatan hilal if drunk man uses thrice in a day woman uses once in life 5 times in quran starts with meem having 5 letters?

The riddle was originally in Arabic and was then translated into English.

Due to the many Arabic variations of it as well as differences that have come about due to translation, it is meaningless in English.

When translated properly, it goes something like this:

A 5 letter word, mentioned once in the Quran, beginning with "mim".

It is whiter than ice (or brighter than the Sun) and darker than night.

Men use it thrice a day, while women only use it once in a lifetime.

It is haram to eat, yet halal to drink.

The answer is Maqabir (Graveyards).

Mentioned in surah "Takarthur" ie. "Hata Zurtum al-Maqabir"

made up of 5 letters begins with "mim"

If a persons actions are good it is brighter than the sun in the grave, while for an evil-doer it is darker than night.

If the "whiter than ice" version is taken is could mean that the kafan is whiter than ice, then the grave is darker than night.

Men visit it three times a day (ie. they bury the dead in it during three times viz. the periods between the three forbidden times) while women only visit the graveyard when they pass away.

The meat of the dead cannot be consumed ie. backbiting him is forbidden.

The part about drinking being halal doesn't seen to have been solved. People have mentioned different interpretations, yet all seem farfetched.

It is a really silly riddle and has wasted valuable time of many of us.

Is it haram if you pay interest and what is the punishment?

yes it is haraam

[surah baqarah:275] Those who eat Ribâ[] (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitân (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only like Ribâ (usury)," whereas Allâh has permitted trading and forbidden Ribâ (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Ribâ (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allâh (to judge); but whoever returns [to Ribâ (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein.

[surah baqarah:278] O you who believe! Be afraid of Allâh and give up what remains (due to you) from Ribâ (usury) (from now onward), if you are (really) believers.

Narrated By Samura bin Jundab :

Whenever the Prophet finished the (morning) prayer, he would face us and ask, "Who amongst you had a dream last night?" So if anyone had seen a dream he would narrate it. The Prophet would say: "Ma sha'a-llah" (An Arabic maxim meaning literally, 'What Allah wished,' and it indicates a good omen.) One day, he asked us whether anyone of us had seen a dream. We replied in the negative. The Prophet said, "But I had seen (a dream) last night that two men came to me, caught hold of my hands, and took me to the Sacred Land (Jerusalem). There, I saw a person sitting and another standing with an iron hook in his hand pushing it inside the mouth of the former till it reached the jaw-bone, and then tore off one side of his cheek, and then did the same with the other side; in the mean-time the first side of his cheek became normal again and then he repeated the same operation again. I said, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on and we went on till we came to a man Lying flat on his back, and another man standing at his head carrying a stone or a piece of rock, and crushing the head of the Lying man, with that stone. Whenever he struck him, the stone rolled away.

The man went to pick it up and by the time he returned to him, the crushed head had returned to its normal state and the man came back and struck him again (and so on). I said, 'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on; so we proceeded on and passed by a hole like an oven; with a narrow top and wide bottom, and the fire was kindling underneath that hole. Whenever the fire-flame went up, the people were lifted up to such an extent that they about to get out of it, and whenever the fire got quieter, the people went down into it, and there were naked men and women in it. I said, 'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on. So we proceeded on till we reached a river of blood and a man was in it, and another man was standing at its bank with stones in front of him, facing the man standing in the river. Whenever the man in the river wanted to come out, the other one threw a stone in his mouth and caused him to retreat to his original position; and so whenever he wanted to come out the other would throw a stone in his mouth, and he would retreat to his original position. I asked, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on and we did so till we reached a well-flourished green garden having a huge tree and near its root was sitting an old man with some children. (I saw) Another man near the tree with fire in front of him and he was kindling it up. Then they (i.e. my two companions) made me climb up the tree and made me enter a house, better than which I have ever seen. In it were some old men and young men, women and children.

Then they took me out of this house and made me climb up the tree and made me enter another house that was better and superior (to the first) containing old and young people. I said to them (i.e. my two companions), 'You have made me ramble all the night. Tell me all about that I have seen.' They said, 'Yes. As for the one whose cheek you saw being torn away, he was a liar and he used to tell lies, and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So, he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.

The one whose head you saw being crushed is the one whom Allah had given the knowledge of Quran (i.e. knowing it by heart) but he used to sleep at night (i.e. he did not recite it then) and did not use to act upon it (i.e. upon its orders etc.) by day; and so this punishment will go on till the Day of Resurrection. And those you saw in the hole (like oven) were adulterers (those men and women who commit illegal sexual intercourse). And those you saw in the river of blood were those dealing in Riba (usury). And the old man who was sitting at the base of the tree was Abraham and the little children around him were the offspring of the people. And the one who was kindling the fire was Malik, the gate-keeper of the Hell-fire. And the first house in which you have gone was the house of the common believers, and the second house was of the martyrs. I am Gabriel and this is Michael. Raise your head.' I raised my head and saw a thing like a cloud over me. They said, 'That is your place.' I said, 'Let me enter my place.' They said, 'You still have some life which you have not yet completed, and when you complete (that remaining portion of your life) you will then enter your place.'"

[Sahih Bukhari, Book of Funerals]

Why is it haram to celebrate new year?

Praise be to Allaah.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-`Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on

him) was asked: What is the ruling on congratulating people on the

occasion of the Hijri new year, and how should one reply to a person

who offers congratulations?

He replied:

If someone offers you congratulations, then respond to him, but do

not initiate such greetings. This is the correct view concerning this

matter. So if a person says to you, for example, "Happy New Year",

then you can say, "May Allaah make it a good and blessed year for

you." But you should not initiate such a greeting, because I do not

know of any report that the salaf [early generations of Islam]

congratulated one another on the occasion of the new year, rather the

salaf did not regard the first of Muharram as the first day of the

new year until the caliphate of `Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be

pleased with him.

Shaykh `Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr said concerning offering

congratulations on the occasion of the hijri new year:

Praying for another Muslim in general terms, in phrases that are not

meant as a kind of ritual on special occasions such as Eid, is

acceptable, especially if what is meant by this greeting is

friendship and to show a friendly face to one's fellow Muslim. Imaam

Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "I do not initiate the

greeting but if someone greets me I return the greeting, because

responding to the greeting is obligatory. But being the first to

offer congratulations is neither Sunnah nor forbidden

Is saying give you hell haram for muslims?

Answer 1

Sending somebody to hell or heaven is the sole prerogative of Almighty Allah. We should not curse somebody like this.

Answer 2

In American English, the phrase "give 'em hell" is an expression to fight an enemy as hard you can, not necessarily an invocation or curse to send them to hell. Regardless, a Muslim should be careful in the way that he speaks to as not to imply that he may wish hellfire on anyone. There are far less crude expression such as "do not give them an inch" or "resist them 'till your dying breath" that are much less problematic.
