I'm sure you are aware that here in the US we have these recycling programs for cans and bottles and when we first purchase these drinks at the grocery store, we are charged a small fee up front, and upon our turning these collected cans and bottles in to a recycling center, we gain back the money we were charged at the store in the first place. Is this money subject to khums?

When you receive the money from the recycling center if that money is excess when your khums date arrives then you will need to pay khums on that amount.

I was curious to know, since Allah SWT understands and knows all languages, would it be haram for one to pray in English? Is it mandatory for one to pray their salat in Arabic or could they pray it English if it helps them concentrate and connect with their prayer and Allah SWT?

And how about converts who don’t understand or know Arabic? One of my convert friends was asking if they could pray In Arabic and English combined. They’d first say it in Arabic and then repeat it again in English.

Salat has specific method and that is to be done in Arabic. Salat would be invalid in any other language. However dua can be done in any language. No matter where we are from we all learn at least the basics of salat in Arabic and this enables us to all pray together in unity despite a variety of people coming together who do not speak the same language. The convert must learn these basics of salat in Arabic and can write them down and use their notes in salat until they memorize them. They should also learn the meanings of what they say as well in order to get that connection through their salat.

I’ve heard from the enemies of Islam that our beloved prophet Mohammed ﷺ ordered a jewish tribe called Banu Qurayza that all their men to be beheaded and their women and children sold as slaves, I understand it was done because they were traitors, but is it true that all those who reached puberty by having pubic hair were killed and weren’t any adult male from the tribe spared?

This should give some clarity inshallah.

Is it permissible for married man to hang out with his female friend to watch movie at night and to take her to zoo for whole day? She is non Muslim

No this should not be done.

For about 2 years my husband and I have been trying to have intercourse to no avail. It is extremely painful for me as I have vaginismus and have seen doctors for it but they all say to find different ways to relax, implying to use some substance or another. It’s been 2 years now and it’s causing issues in my marriage as my husband has stronger urges than I and he feels his needs aren’t met. I don’t want to neglect his needs and it’s different than doing oral, I want us to have a healthy relationship and have kids insha’Allah.
Since it was recommended that I use substances to relax my body and for the pain, is it permissible if I use weed strictly only for vaginal pain relief in order to fulfill my duties to my husband?

Unfortunately marijuana is not permitted but you can ask your doctor to ask for some sort of non addictive muscle relaxer.

Can you please tell and explain to me deeply who is yahweh. Is yahweh same as Allah? Why is it that Yahweh is a proper name while Allah is more general name? And also if Yahweh and Allah is the same, can we adress Allah swt as Yahweh?

The proper name of God is Allah and this is how He is named in the Quran. So we should stick to what names He has used for himself.

I have read your books. The mystery of the shia. There is something I couldn't understand.
1) The salah isha, the part where is saying 2 rakats sunnah after isha but sitting. What did you mean by that?
2) And the salat jummah is the same as the sunni one?

1) Two rakats sitting is in jalsa position like the position you sit for tashahud.
2)| Jumah is two rakats with qunut in first rakat before ruku and in second rakat after ruku
