SaveThe story of the killing and mutilation of Umm Qirfah is a false story that is not sound in either its chain of narration or its text
Umm Qirfah al-Fazariyyah is Fatimah bint Rabi`ah ibn Badr. Her story has become widely known among the enemies of Islam, and they have started to use it to attack Islam and accuse it of being violent and cruel. The chains of narrators of this story are all weak and are not sound, and what is mentioned in this story about her being mutilated and torn in two is very odd and weird. Hence it is not permissible to mention this story, except by way of warning against it.SaveStatement of the Islamic Fiqh Council regarding the ruling on actors playing the part of Prophets and Companions

SaveIf worms come out of the back passage, does that invalidate wudu and make it obligatory to clean oneself (istinja’)?
1.. The majority of Hanafi, Shafa`i and Hanbali scholars, and some of the Malikis, are of the view that if worms come out of the back passage, that invalidates wudu. 2.. Although it is proven that if worms come out of the back passage, that invalidates wudu, it does not make it obligatory to clean oneself, because the reason for cleaning oneself (istinja’) is the presence of impurity, and the purpose behind cleaning oneself with water or stones is to remove the substance of impurity from the surface of the body, except in the case where they contaminate the anus and the surrounding area with impurity. But if they do not contaminate the anus, then there is no requirement to clean oneself if they come out.SaveIs it permissible to take care of graveyards, adorn them and make them look nice?
