Day Questions

My question is regarding Sura [2:23] is copying Quranic Verses or editing them to make new verses classed as “producing a Sura like it"?

Copying the verses as is from the holy book is permissible. It is not permissible to make up verses from gathering separated words and claiming that they are from the Almighty Allah.

If we do not shave or cut our pubic hairs and also underarm hairs, can we still offer prayers and will they be valid?

It is recommended to remove the hair from both mentioned areas. However, the validity of the prayer is not affected by not removing hair from there.

Can we be present at an Islamic wedding, where people are performing Islamic songs?

All kinds of songs are prohibited except ones performed by women for women in weddings without the presence of men and without music. It is permissible to recite nasheeds which would not cause ‘tarab’ in religious ceremonies or social happy gatherings. ‘Tarab’ means the psychological interaction with the music or singing, whether it leads to joy, sadness, pride or any other emotion.
