+Orthodox Sunni Islam sees itself as a complete and total guide to all facets of life. As such, the [[Qur'an]], [[hadith]], and [[scholars]] place many restrictions on what the believers can and cannot do.

 ===Displaying your Beauty and Ornaments===

 '''We should also point out that it is not permissible to compete for prizes in playing these electronic games, even if the game itself is permissible, because they are not a means of jihaad, and they do not help you develop strength for jihaad.'''

+===Christmas Trees===
+{{Quote||'''Q: I dont celebrate Christmas in any way but my 11 year old daughter loves the beauty of a christmas tree when decorated. Is it permissable for me to have one in my house throughout the year?'''
+A: Praise be to Allaah.
+The Christmas tree is one of the symbols of the Christian festival and celebration; this is why it is named for Christmas. It is said that it was first officially used as a symbol in this manner in the sixteenth century in Germany, in the Cathedral of Strasbourg in 1539 CE.
+'''It is not permissible to imitate the kuffaar in any of their acts of worship, rituals or symbols, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”''' Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4031; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 5/109
+So it is not permissible to put up this tree in a Muslim house even if you do not celebrate Christmas, because '''putting up this tree comes under the heading of imitating others that is haraam, or venerating and showing respect to a religious symbol of the kuffaar.'''
+What the parents must do is protect their children and keep them away from what is haraam,  and protect them from the Fire as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning)”
+“O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allaah, but do that which they are commanded”
+[al-Tahreem 66:6]
+It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The ruler of the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of his household and is responsible for his flock. A woman is the shepherd of her husband’s house and children and is responsible for her flock. The slave is the shepherd of his master’s wealth and is responsible for it. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.”
+Al-Bukhaari, 7138; Muslim, 1829.
+Al-Bukhaari (7151) and Muslim (142) also narrated that Ma ‘qil ibn Yasaar al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “There is no person whom Allaah puts in charge of others, and when he dies he is insincere to his subjects, but Allaah will forbid Paradise to him.”
+You should explain to your daughter that '''it is haraam to imitate the disbelievers and that it is obligatory to differ from those who are doomed to Hell and to dislike what they venerate of clothing, symbols or rituals''', so as to develop respect for her own religion and adhere to it, practising the principle of loyalty and friendship as opposed to disavowal and enmity (al-wala’ wa’l-bara’) which is one of the cornerstones of Tawheed and one of the basic principles of faith.
+And Allah knows best.}}

+===Pork Gelatin===
+{{Quote|{{cite web|url=http://www.english.shirazi.ir/topics/gelatin |title=Gelatin |publisher= |author=Ayatollah Sayed Sadiq al-Shirazi |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|1. Question: I live in the US and last week I discovered that gelatine was made out of pork as well as beef by-products. It is used in several food items such as: medicines, yoghurt, candy, jelly, desserts, and cereal. What is your opinion on its lawfulness? I have heard from other Muslims here that it is allowed, but I am not sure of where they obtained their information.<br>
+Answer: According to the Fatwa of Ayatollah al-Udhma Imam Muhammad Shirazi, the gelatine is Haraam if it is made from Haraam animal by-products. Therefore the gelatine that is made from pork, or from animals that have not been slaughtered according to Islamic Shari'ah, is Haraam and therefore not allowed. [Needless to say, the gelatine that is made in Islamic countries, or if it has been made from animal by-products that have been slaughtered according to Islamic Shari'ah is Halaal and therefore allowed to be consumed by Muslims.]}}
+===Food handled by Kuffar===

Question: Is it permissible to eat at Muslim restaurants whose cooks are non-Muslims, other than ahl al-kitab (People of the Book)?
+Answer: It is not permissible if they handle the food with any of their limbs.}}
