Daily Life
Daily life is where most of the day's questions live: what to wear, what to listen to, what to photograph. This topic covers dress and adornment, hijab and modest dress, remembrance and supplication, music and entertainment, and images and photography. If a question is about an ordinary hour rather than an act of worship, it usually sits here. Every answer here is a sourced summary of a fatwa published on Ftawy, with the full ruling one tap away.
