I went to massage parlour. I received a 1 hour massage. I paid by card, price was not discussed. He later emails me and tells me the massage cost 80$ and he accidentally charged me 8$ instead. This was a mistake that he made in not charging me correctly. Is it mandatory that I pay him the rest?

Yes.
Not discussing the price implies the customers agrees to the price of the service. You forfeit the right to argue about the price after the service is offered. It's even immoral to do so if the price was a fair market price.

The Imam in my mosque is a different madhab and say that you have to recite quietly (meaning whisper so the person praying can only hear it) when praying a fard prayer alone. Is that a part of our madhab too? I always just recite silently ie no movement of the mouth at all

The volumes of reading are five:
1. At heart: no movement of lips
2. Mute: movement of lips without any air or sound
3. Whisper: movement of lips with air, no sound
4. Talk: movement of lips with quiet sound
5. Broadcast: movement of lips with loud sound.
In prayer, anything below number 3 does not suffice. The least volume is to recite or make thikr as a whisper (a person with healthy hearing should hear their own whisper, that's sufficient)
What he told you is the mainstream opinion in all mathaahib, including our mathhab.

Salamalykum. I want to know that if a woman wants to wear niqab its on her will right? I mean like no one else can force her to do so? Even if its her husband?

Wa alaikum assalam,
If a woman is pursuing Islamic scholarship, her husband may not force her into any religious opinion different than that which she follows.
For example, he is Shafi'i and sees that niqab is obligatory, while she's Maliki and believes it is recommended but not obligatory. If she decides not to wear it then he has no right to force her to do so.
Do you think that's strange? Hold tight!
Scholars explicitly stated that he has no right to force her over matters of purification if she follows a different mathhab. So, if he's hanbali and gave her his pants that had a najaasah and asks her to remove the najasa, and she's Hanafi so she washed them once instead of seven times, he has no right to complain, or force her, even if he believed that praying is invalid in najis clothes that weren't rinsed seven times.
Someone is telling you to stop reading? Wait,
Hanbali and Shafi'i scholars explicitly stated that if he believed that smoking is prohibited, and she followed the opinion that it wasn't; and was a regular smoker; the husband is required to buy her smokes; as a condition of nafaqa. Imam Mansour al-Buhooti and Imam Ibn Hajr al-Haytami both stated "it is also obligatory upon him to spend on her everything that she can not do without, such as coffee and smokes."
Misogyn-o-meter clicking? Be patient
Scholars have explicitly stated that a man has no right to stop his Hanafi wife, who follows the opinion that little amounts of nabeeth (wine) is not among the prohibited khamr (liquor), and hence is permissible for her to drink, but he must ask her to wash her mouth before kissing her.
Your eyes starting to twitch?
A Muslim husband may not break the fast of his Christian or Jewish wife, even for a legitimate reason like intimacy, may not interrupt her prayer, and may not prevent her from drinking alcohol in non intoxicating amounts.
Misogyny has nothing to do with Islam, but many Muslim men think otherwise.

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said: "... and removing harm from the path to people’s hearts and righteous deeds, has a greater reward and more urgency than removing harm from pathways where people walk." [Riyadh as-Saliheen 2/177 | Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya]

Shaykh how old were you when you seriously began studying Islam? I know Shaykh Abu Hazim was one of your teachers, can you name a few more? AkramakAllah

I hope one day I'll start studying Islam seriously.

As salam alaykum shaykh, just want to ask what would your take be on typing iA' instead of In sha Allah providing that it's read as in sha Allah? Some say you shouldn't abbreviate the name of Allah

Imran Iqbal
If you're writing it as du'aa, then it's best that you write it in full if there's space in your message. And Allah knows best.
The imams of the salaf have explicitly stated it is makrooh to abbreviate the thikr and du'aa in writing, such as Alaihi assalam, or Salla Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam, and that it's especially makrooh to abbreviate those to 'as' and 'pbuh' (or عس and صلعم etc) because it is originally the way of deviant sects, and this would be one way of assimilating them.
If you look into the books of the salaf you find them writing the thikr or the du'aa in full. It is reported that imam Ahmed sometimes used to utter only that thikr while writing his books but would not write it.

Hey! I'm in a love with Muslim girl , But Problem is that her parents are asking me to convert from Christian to Muslim, Is right to convert. My family member are asking not to convert, Both of them confused right now, without converting into Muslim, how can i convince their parents (1)

To protect our religion, and ensure the children of Muslims grow up to be Muslims, God prohibited us from marrying our daughters to non Muslims. He says:
"Do not marry [your womenfolk] to the polytheists until they believe; for a believer slave is better than a polytheist, even if you like the latter. Those people call towards the Fire, while God calls to Paradise and forgiveness by His permission. And he clarifies his verses to humanity so that they may remember." (2:221)
There is no disagreement within Islam that a marriage between a Muslim woman and a non Muslim man is invalid. You should take the time to think about the message of Islam, regardless of this marriage. The Torah talked about worshipping God alone, and about future prophets and false prophets. The Bible affirmed that the Torah was the Truth from God, reminded people about worshipping God alone, foretold about future prophets and false prophet. The Qur'an affirmed that the Torah and the Bible were the Truth from God, reminded people about worshipping God alone, confirmed that it is the final revelation to humanity, foretold about future false prophets. A reasonable thing to do is to read the Qur'an and hear what it says.

Salam mufti, is it true if one recite with the difficult recitations (Khalaf, Warsh etc) than the easy ones (like Hafs, Qaloon, Duri etc.) one can get more ajr/hasanat? It's that true? Or its the same reward? Thanks

Wrong account, I'm not a mufti.

Okay, so I sent you the question in Arabic Shaikh, however I did not understand the answer at all. (As in, is that fusha?) Excuse my ignorance. The one about cheating.

Haha, my apologies I answered in an Egyptian dialect.
I said that's unnecessary sophistication.

is it alright if I can ask you a question? How do we as Muslims come to terms with evolution and things that the sunnah says that are contrary to science such as Adam being 60 cubits tall? It's a difficult question that I've been dealing with and id like someone to clarify it. Barakallahu fik

In natural science, there's no such thing as scientific truth. Because truth cannot be proven in science; there's only a proof for falsification.
In other words, scientifically speaking, if there's one observation that disproves evolution, then it doesn't matter if there are a hundred observations that support it. A scientific fact loses the status of scientific fact and becomes - at best - a theory with one falsification.
Scientists believed the earth was flat, that the earth was the centre of the universe, that children DNA came entirely from dads, while mothers were only the shell. They had hundreds of observations to support each claim. In all these 'scientific facts', it took only one new scientific observation to discredit the entire fact, and build a new scientific fact that accommodates all previous, as well as new, observations.
Can science say Adam was not 60 cubits tall? No. All it can say that it doesn't have evidence to support it, but it cannot deny it.
The problem you're dealing with is that you're making science a judge for Islam, which is something outside its scope. Science only deals with physical observations by humans. Islam deals with physical and spiritual realities as set by God. If the two seem to contradict in one point, then, without doubt, the reality described by God replaces the a physical observation assumed by humans.
Evolution is not a scientific fact, it's a dogmatic belief that atheist scientists spread it with unscientific bigotry. If you doubt my words, notice that the actual definition of a scientific fact was modified in the past thirty years was modified from something that doesn't have a single scientific observation to falsify, to something that doesn't have a significant percentage of observations to falsify. The modification, pushed by evolutionist societies, only because several scientific observations have been found that would falsify evolution. So the definition of fact was changed to keep evolution as a fact :)

Would you recommend the translation of bidayat al abid by Sh John Starling?

Yes, he's an excellent translator.
Wait for the second edition in a week or so, inshaAllah.
First edition is also very good nevertheless.

السلام عليكم. أنا في قائمة أصدقائك على فيسبوك.أخذت صورة من أحد المنشورات التي شاركتها مع الأصدقاء فقط و أرسلتها لواحد مش من أصدقائك قبل ما ألاحظ الخطأ.أسألك السماح.

هذا زمان ضاعت فيه أعظم الأمانات، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله. وقد قال النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام إذا حدّث الرجل بالحديث ثم التفت فهي أمانة.
فهذا بمن التفت فقط ليرى من يتنصت خلسة، فكيف بمن يصرح لطلبته أن هذا الكلام خاص، ثم ينقلونه للعامة.
طبعا الكلام مش القصد عليك هنا، بل حرصك على تجنب هذا وندمك عليه من الندرة هذا الزمان، يغفر لك ربي.

Are mobile phone contracts which offer cash-back permissible? E.g. you pay mobile phone company certain amount, after you pay, a third party company refunds some of that money back.

To comment, I need to know the full picture. The contracts included between you and them, and between them.
If it's a marketing commission e.g. you go to wireless wave, buy a bell phone, wireless wave gives you $100 in store credit, since they got money as commission from Bell, then that's permissible.

Apologies, I meant, how before his time, the hadith "apparently" shows that a 3 fold divorce in one sitting was considered as one rather than 3, how do the majority answer that? Surely saying the majority just followed Umar instead is wrong?

Few people earlier said it three times to confirm that they meant it did happen. Like Allah said: كلا اذا دكت الارض دكا دكا taking about one time. There is ijmaa' in the time of Abu Bakr on this.
Then when people began to say it three times and mean they are three separate times, the ruling changed. The ijmaa' was set on this in the later part of Umar's years.

how do the majority answer the hadith in Sahih Muslim about the 3 fold divorce issue by 'Umar radhiallahu 'anhu? I hope you can clarify.

Why answer? The hadeeth is an indication of his Fiqh - radhiya Allah anhu.
Also it's a proof that if a fatwa is based on customs and customs changes later then fatwa change.

Shaykh, can you give me a curriculm I can follow for studying Hanbali fiqh? I am doing my fulltime graduate studies at the moment Secondly, can you provide me one beginner matn for each of the main scienes that I can start studying

A curriculum is the least important thing.
Find a Sheikh whom you can study with.
In hanbali Fiqh you can start with any of these texts: Bidayatul Abid or Akhsar alMukhtasaraat or Kafi alMubtadee, or Daleel Attalib or umdatu Talib or zad almustaqni' or alumdah.
If you're in Ottawa, pm me on Facebook, we've started a program that covers all Islamic sciences.

Indeed, tahajjud is the best thing you can do during the night. Now I am asking spec for studying for several hours (5-7) per day during a month. Can it give good score? I am asking you bcz you have experience from the test and you are a good person. Sorry if i am bothering you

Inshallah you'll get an excellent score with that much effort.
