why is selling tobacco haram if smoking in itself is not haram?

While smoking one or two cigarettes every blue moon has a room among scholars between being a discouraged or prohibited ruling, smoking in itself is a harmful habit that wastes a lot of money, and thus has been prohibited for sale, and because most buyers are heavy and/or chain smokers.
Until the industry is regulated to protect the people from greed of the manufacturer and addiction of the substance, then it remains an industry in which a Muslim is prohibited in taking part in selling, storing, transporting or investing.

Is using a public bathroom Islamically okay as long as there is no visible filth on the toilet seat?

Filth does not transfer with the mere contact of two dry objects (e.g. your body and the dry toilet seat)

They say 'you don't sell or give away things that have been gifted to you!'. Is doing so permissible in Islam?

Yes. The recipient of a gift, like the buyer, has full right over the item. They may use it, resell it, regift it, return it or discard it.
Any condition with the gift or the sale limiting the rights is a non binding condition.

In Pakistan, Government issues prize bond :£1 buys you 1 bond. You are always able to redeem your bonds for cash (the same amount). Periodically, a number of ‘prizes’ are distributed and every bond has an equal chance of winning a prize. You may win much, but you can't lose. Is it Haram (Riba)?

Ask Pakistani scholars.

What happens if one slanders Kuffar? They won't get my good deeds but I'll still lose them? And is it permissible to backbone them if they're hateful towards us?

"A Muslim is never a curser, never a slanderer, never bad-mouthing and never indecent."
Said by the most honest, most beloved, Messenger of God.

Salam Sheikh, Is it true ibn Taymiyyah believed nonArabs are inferior to Arabs????

He didn't. What he stated in the iqtidhaa', is a basic pillar in the Islamic creed, he's not the first to state, that the Prophet was not only the most noble human, in character, but also, in lineage.
That, Banu Hashim were the most noble of Quraish, that Quraish was the most noble of the Arabs, and that the Arabs were the most noble of mankind in lineage.
That, in the entire ancestral lineage of the Prophet Muhammad, not a single parent committed adultery.
That, even putting the argument of 'the Qur'an was revealed in Arabic' aside, Arabs have always had the most noble of lineages among other ethnicities and tribes.
This implied also another basic belief, which is that despising Arabs, as an ethnicity, is a major sign of hypocrisy, greater than despising any other ethnicity.
Having said all of that, Islam prohibits anyone from mocking people's lineages, or showing off one's own lineage for the purpose of looking down upon others. The Prophet teaches us that one's lineage alone does not dictate their nobility. There is a unanimous Islamic principle which says "whosoever is slowed down by their own deeds; their lineage can not boost their status."
The Messenger of God said: "by God, the thing that destroyed the nations before you is: that if their noble stole they would let them go, but if their weak stole they would be keen on punishing them. By He whom the soul of Muhammad is in His Hand, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, stole, then Muhammad will cut her hand."
Arabs are born with a tremendous blessing, which is the ability to understand the spoken Word of God without translation, that puts a tremendous responsibility upon them to live up to it, they are far less excused than a poor convert who is clueless what most of those verses mean yet struggle to recite them.

Asalaamualaykum sheikh, I've been offered a job at a store which sell cigarettes and magazines, my induction is next week and I don't know what to do, should I mention that I can't sell these products? And how can I say that in an appropriate way? What's your advice sheikh JazakAllahu khayr

It's okay to work in a store that a minority of its sales (less than 30%) are in prohibited items, as long as you're not carrying those sales yourself. Make it very clear from the get go that you require a religious accommodation because you can't handle alcohol, tobacco, gambling and pork products, and that you can do more work on other fronts if they can spare you these tasks. If they accommodate and offer you a job that doesn't require these duties then it's fine, and your entire earnings are halal.

Is it true that the sahaba had a consensus that they daw nothing as kufr except for leaving the prayer?

They did not consider any act of worship which abandoning it [i.e. completely, albeit without defiance] is considered major apostasy.
What you said means a different thing, and not true.

If I use my hand to do دلك to remove najasah from a body part, do I need to then wash my hand 7 times as well since it was touched by najasah? Or is it washed in the process of washing the former body part?

If your hand is rubbing while you're pouring water from the first to the seventh, then is washed in the process.
Another scenario, if your hand first touched the najasah directly not at first wash but, say, in the 3rd wash, then when you have finished the 7th wash for the spot your hand was washed five times, so you still need to wash it twice only after that.
Another scenario, the water that separated from the najasah after the 4th wash, splashed onto your hand, but your hand didn't touch the najasah directly. In this case: you only need to wash your hand and the najasah three more times (to the seventh). Your hand in this case only needs to be washed three times, because the water that splashed on it was the fourth wash, and the najasah is diluted in each wash.

Is the USDA means of slaughter acceptable? Is the meat (beef or chicken) hence permissible to eat? What about conservative christian/jewish restaurants?

1. Ask AMJA.
2. Yes, if you know the meat was slaughtered by a Jew or Christian then it's permissible to eat.

السلام عليكم انا اللى سألت حضرتك من شهرين على التجارة الربوية التى اشركت بها بغير علم واحب اعرف حضرتك ان رأس المال تقريبا تضاعف واشتركت به في تجارة اخرى واهدانى والدى دراسة الماجستير على حسابه الخاص ورزقت بضعف المكسب تقريبا من غير حول منى ولا قوه والحمد لله... وشكرا جزيلا لحضرتك على نصحك لى

اللهم لك الحمد

Salam alaykum ustadh, i want to improve my relation with Quran but the problem is somehow i find some words in the pshycial mushaf very difficult to read. Can i recite from the internet mushaf? I find that much easier but my elder family members says thats not rewarding like a real mushaf,true?

This is twofold: the reward of the reciting itself is the same, whether it's from memory, mus-haf or a screen.
Another act of worship is looking into the mus-haf, whether you're reciting, listening, or reading with your eyes only. This is not replaceable by a screen, a translation, a book of tafsir or memory.

Does the hadit: ''From the completion of a person's Islam is his leaving that which doesn't concern him'' refer to things like my father's family issues, my mothers family issues or fight/conflict betweenMy family members? I am a teenager and dont have the ability to make islah. I want a good heart!

Your family should be your greatest concern in life. If it isn't, I would be concerned about your own faith.

A sister stole a lot in jahiliyah 20years ago & has intended to pay back these debts when she gets an income. She gave charity many times hoping Allah would increase her wealth so she can pay her debts. Now she understands that she should have started to pay off debts instead. Was her charity valid?

A theft is not a debt. It is a theft. As expiation, you must return the money to its owner if you know them, otherwise give it in charity on their behalf.
Because it is not a debt, the knowledge of the owner is not required when you return the theft. You can give it to them as a gift, or hide it in their belonging without their knowledge.

In regards to the tawassul question - did the Hanbalis mean tawassul by the status/dhaat of the Nabiy ﷺ or did they mean actually asking the Nabiy ﷺ at his grave?

Both were reported by imam Ahmed.

So there are people who make yt videos to show the kuffar that muslims are normal people. But sometimes they go beyond islamic boundaries eg one of them hugged girls in a video. That's sinning publicly, so is it permissible to warn against them on fb?

Warn the kuffar?! Lol. Mind your own business.

Salam Alaykum, would you kindly explain how Tawassul is a juristic issue and not a creedal one? Jzk.

Tawassul is seeking a connection that would bring your need closer to God.
You can ask a righteous person to make du'aa for you, that's a form of Tawassul. The Prophet and compounds did that. It is unanimously permissible.
You can ask God, by the merit of a sincere act of worship you have done, to answer your need. The Prophet and companions did that. It is unanimously permissible.
You can do Tawassul with the Prophet peace be upon him, as stated by Imam Ahmed himself. The Prophet instructed a companion to do that. It is prohibited by the majority of mathaahib because it may lead to a prohibition, but it is permissible in Hanbali mathhab.
In Tawassul, there's no question about the person's faith and that they're intention is to seek the answer/help from God. Hence it's not a creedal issue.
Even Sheikh Mohammed ibn Abdulwahhab, who prohibited Tawassul by the prophet despite being Hanbali, said it is not a form of Shirk.
Istighatha with other than God, is seeking rescue from from than God, like saying O Ali save me. Is different than Tawassul, and it is prohibited in our mathhab.
