If you are hitting yourself (Such as your face or chest) in grief or anything or hitting any other person (Your child or any other Muslim brother) is strictly Haram! In Quran it is stated; (Killing does not mean taking life only, it also means to hurt anyone)

## **4. Eating or Earning Interest**

Riba (Interest) is never allowed in Islam because it is a system that makes poor the poorest and rich the richest!

## **6. Masturbation**

In today's world, when the internet is easily accessible anyone and search and watch anything, which is a trigger to this addiction. Masturbation has a negative impact on your health, this is why Islam prohibits it for every Muslim and labels it as Zina! We also talked about the Ways to cure Masturbation Addiction.

Even if a Muslim is slaughtering an Animal without saying Allah's name "Bismillah Allah O Akber" it will become Haram! A person should say "Bismillah Allah O Akber" during the Slaughtering of the Animal, to keep it halal. Quran says;
