I'm absolutely attracted to women. I hope to get married if not this year then next. But recently I was attracted to a man and it creeped me out. I don't know why I was attracted. It came out the blue. Maybe because I've been lowering my gaze recently. Should I seek coucelling?

If every person who commits a sin seeks counseling, counselors will be billionaires.
It's a test from God to show you how weak your heart is, it needs fortification. Gazing is an arrow of the devil, with one lustful gaze, to a man or a woman, the devil can stab your heart.
Prevention is always easier and less costly than seeking cure.

هما الجواري ايام الرسول كانوا غير محجبات وكان يجوز النظر اليهم

يعني بتفكر بالنظر إلى الجواري في عهد رسول الله وناسي نعمة النظر الى رسول الله؟
ثم كونها غير محجبة لا يعني أنك غير مامور بغض البصر.
المؤمنة مأمورة بعدم إبداء الزينة سواء كان الرجال حولها اتقياء أو فجار، والرجل مأمور بغض البصر عمن حوله سواء كن متبرجات أو مستورات.

Assalamualykum shaykh, if a person returns home from a long travel an hour before jumuah, is he still obligated to attend the jumuah with his tiredness/long travel?

Yes.
That's one reason why it's discouraged/prohibited to travel after Fajr on Friday, because you'll either miss the prayer or be too tired when you arrive.
It's best to plan your arrival home on Thursday afternoon or Friday afternoon.

Salaam sheikh. I have a preference with regards to race as to who I want to marry. But I'm scared that by ruling out other races I'm being prideful. How do I reconcile ruling out other races because I prefer a certain race and not being prideful?

Marry whom you want.

نصاب النقد بالفضة = جرام ؟

النصاب في النقد: ما يعادل ثمن ٥٩٥ جرام من الفضة
تقريبا: في هذا العام كان النصاب يتراوح حول ال٣٠٠ دولار امريكي.

أنا مقلدة للمذهب الحنبلي فضلا تجبني هل نصاب الزكاة يقدر بالذهب أم بالفضة؟

الذهب بالذهب والفضة بالفضة
والنقد بالفضة

my grandpa is an illrterate and he cannot learn even two verses by heart. he say similar words from our dialect. can he ? pray without reciting fatiha

If he knows one complete verse of Qur'an, then he repeats it until he fulfill two conditions:
1. Seven verses are recited
2. The length of 25 words, or 120 letters, of Qur'an.
If he knows one complete verse of alfatiha, then no other verse of Qur'an is sufficient.
For example, if he can say
الحمد لله رب العالمين
Then if he repeats it seven times, it suffices as a replacement for alfatiha.
If he can't learn a single verse, then it is sufficient for him to say the four phrases:
سبحان الله
والحمد لله
والله اكبر
ولا إله إلا الله

If you could choose again, would you again decide to be a scholar or rather be an 'every day muslim', layperson? (Serious question). I don't know if the responsility of a scholar amazes me more or the reward...

If I could choose, I'd rather be a tree that gives shade to passers by, or a cat that amuses a child, than to be a human with these immense duties towards God, the community, my family and myself.

Sheikh u metioned that the distance for travel is around 180 km but it seems other sources say 83 km (I always followed that). Are there different opinions?

I don't think I've said 180km, if I have that would've been a typo or a slip.
The minimum distance that counts as travel in our mathhab is a bit over 135km.
Many scholars have made the mistake of repeating someone else's calculations without checking validity or accuracy.
The ~80km opinion is not found in any of the four mathaahib by the way, although some people mistakenly ascribe it to the Hanafi and even Hanbali mathhab.
To seal this, here's the breakdown:
The author of the muntaha said:
Quote
"The distance is approximately sixteen faraasikh (sg. farsakh) - by land or sea; which is equivalent to two days in expedited travel; which is also equivalent to four burud (sg. bareed).
A bareed is four faraasikh.
A farsakh is three Hashemite miles, (or two and a half Umayyad miles.)
A Hashemite mile is (twelve thousand feet, or) six thousand arm spans.
An arm span is twenty four adjacent fingers.
A finger width is six grains of barley aligned such that their centre widths are side by side.
A grain centre width is six hairs."
End quote
Using the finger width as the base conversation to SI: the average finger width is 1.99 cm ± 0.1 cm. This makes the distance about 138 km ± 1 km rounded to the nearest km.
For 80km to be valid, a human finger width needs to be 1.15 cm wide, but medically, the minimum healthy finger width of an adult is 1.6 cm.

How far do we have to go in our research whether food in public places is Halal? Eg there's a turkish restaurant which says the meat is Halal (I even saw the certificate) but they sell alcohol. Do I trust them or doubt their reliability?

The verbal testimony of a Muslim is sufficient, unless you see something that discredits the testimony.
Serving alcohol is prohibited, and it discredits the integrity and religiosity of the owner for sure.
However, it doesn't necessarily affect the credibility of the cook or the halal meat inspection agency that made the certificate.
If in doubt of forgery, contact the certification agency to verify.

Salam, i got some aid (studies) here in Sweden. The goverment payed me bcz they thought i studied...but i did not study and only made a exam. Should I tell them and give back the money? I am asking bcz i dont want to do haram. And in Sweden they dont give money for only exams..only for a study year

I don't know how this started, did you give them a misinformation that you'll be studying?
I also don't know whether there exists a path to return the money, if not, and it's not yours, then gift it to someone who needs it.

انا التزمت فى الصلاة وانا ١٥ سنة مش قادر افتكر خالص سن بلوغى عشان احسب الصلوات الفائتة قبل الالتزام واقضيها ايه الحل ؟

١٥ سنة هجرية يعني ١٤ سنة ميلادية ونصف تقريبا.
يعني بحد أدنى عندك ست شهور تقضيها، ولو بلغت وعمرك ١٤ هجرية مثلا يعني الحد الاقصى سنة وست شهور. قدر بينهما واقض.

This is an extremely dumb question, but its been bothering me. Do we need to recite Surah Fatihah behind the Imam? If so, what do we do in they gointo ruku (or even stand back up) before we even finish the fatihah?

You don't need to, weather the imam recited it in a loud or a whispering voice.

Nowadays so many people are complaining about Salafi Fatawa sites because apparently they don't mention the difference of opinion. But if we look at the fiqh books of the madhahib, everyone mentions only their 'strongest opinion'. That's just one topic, why aren't scholars of madhahib critisized?

Because you're talking about beginner mathhab books, where they teach the basics, not give fatwa.
In more advanced books that are references for fatwa, scholars state clearly: the strongest in the mathhab is such and such.
They also bring all the textual evidence, whether it's with or against their opinion.
They also say: there's no blame for someone to follow the mainstream opinion of another mathhab.
But modern Salafi fatwa sites, like islamqa and such, make claims such as: this is the (only) correct opinion (not according to our opinion), sometimes even accusing the opinions of the four mathhabs to be lacking evidence (!!! Accusing thousands of Muslim scholars over hundreds of years of committing the major sin of speaking in religion without proof, instead of just admitting their ignorance the they don't know all the proofs). Worst of all, the bias in hiding proofs that go against their opinion, giving the illusion to their viewers that they're "following the daleel", while in many cases it's a single daleel which has more and stronger proofs against it.

إيه يا مولانا فاتح حنفية الأسئلة اللي بالعربية ليه النهار دا؟ :)

علشان اهيصكوا بمناسبة العيد.

أيهما أفضل؟؟ الدراسة المذهبية أم الدراسة والتعبد بالدليل؟! يعني أتمذهب ولا أتبع ما يرجحه شيخي؟!

ليس هناك ثمة شيء اسمه تعبد بالدليل
فالدليل يعرفه السلف قبل الخلف، وإنما الأمر هو اتباع فهم السلف وأئمتهم كمالك والشافعي لهذا الدليل
أو أن تتبع فهم شيخ معاصر للدليل.
