Assalamu Alaykum, are there any masajid in Ottawa that do I'tikaaf during Ramadan and allow women to do I'tikaaf as well?

Wa alaikum assalam, I don't know, check with OMA and SNMC. Please let me know what they say.

Sheikh does quiet laughing that just causes changes in recitation, but are not overtly able to be determined as laughing break wudu/prayer?

A smile, albeit a grin, does not nullify the prayer, nor if the praying person is about to laugh but holds their breath in order not to release a laughter.
A giggle, a laughter or any disturbance in the diaphragm due to joy, causing even one burst in exhaling, nullifies the prayer and, in Hanafi mathhab, wudu as well.

For my previous question on sujood al tilaawah, do the four scholars have any disagreement?

Find out in almughni, almajmoo' and almawsoo'ah alkuwaitiyya. ☺️

Also, I should say that it becomes difficult for the asker to determine your line of "this is not social media material, go read a book", versus determining what you are willing to explain online. Perhaps you should give us a list of what you don't want to answer?

It is against manners of knowledge to ask about something which is obviously available in any textbook of that discipline.
Compare asking a physics teacher: can you explain angular momentum?
Versus: I've studied Young, Crowell and Kuhl, but I can't seem to understand how is angular momentum different from centrifugal force?
The first sounds like a lazy student who didn't bother to even lookup the answer on Wikipedia. The second read, understood, and is coming back to understand the nuances of knowledge from a teacher.

Can you explain the ruling of doing sujood al tilaawah in a fardh prayer versus sunnah prayer? Are there times we can do the sujood for sunnah but would need to repeat the whole prayer if the mistake was committed in fardh?

The second part of your question makes me think you meant sujood assahw not attilaawah.
As for the first part, these are things you learn from studying any beginner textbook of fiqh with a scholar, not through social media.

As salam alkyum shaykh, The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a jewish neighbor who used to throw trash at his door every day. I was looking into this story, it seems people say It isnt a hadith, some say it is in the seerah some say it is not from the seerah of the prophet?Is this true

Wa alaikum assalam,
It's a fabricated story, was never mentioned in any book of hadeeth or seerah. Rather, it was made up by a group contemporary ignorant people who wanted to praise the Prophet's tolerance, but ended offending him and accusing the companions of being negligent of the prophet. Similar stories in the books of hadeeth about a Jewish neighbour who hurt the Prophet, with questionable authenticity, narrated by Buraidah.
The closest authentic story is in Ahmed's musnad and Sahih Bukhari, that Anas narrated that the prophet had a Jewish servant boy (who fixed the prophet's shoes and brought his wudu) fell ill, the prophet took some companions and went to visit him. The boy was on his death bed. The prophet said: o young boy, accept Islam! The boy looked up at his father. His father said: obey Abu alQasim. So the boy uttered the shahada then passed away. The Prophet walked out saying: Praise be to God who used me to save that boy from the hellfire.

Looking from the outside, what is your take on this new trend of Muslim e-commerce/entrepreneurship? Is it something we should pay mind to?

The Messenger of Allah said: O Allah I seek refuge in you from inability and laziness.

Is it permissible to make Du'a for the destruction of the enemys of Islam and add 'if guidanxe isn't written for them'?

It's permissible to make du'aa for the destruction of the enemies of God or God's religion. It's also permissible to pray for their guidance.
Noah, peace be upon him, prayed for their destruction, and God destroyed them.
Muhammad, May the peace and blessings of God be upon him, was asked to pray for the destruction of the enemies of God. He said: I was sent as mercy to the worlds. He prayed for their guidance.

https://ask.fm/MajedJarrar/answer/140988532802 Could you please elaborate. Is it prohibited even to order through it?

If you're buying bulk, then storing it in a place and selling it individually, that's permissible. If you make an agreement with the seller that you become their retailer/distributor, such that you sell their products and they (the owner) cut you a percentage for you, then that's permissible as well.
The prophet prohibited selling something which you don't own, by making people think you own it, when the order and pay, you take their money and go to the market and buy the goods they want. That's the prohibited form of drop shipping.
As a buyer you buy from whom you think is the owner of the goods. If you find you're buying from a commissioner, it's in your best interest to bypass them and buy directly from the seller.

I need an intellectual hobby. Any suggestions other than reading? or maybe one that requires reading but does not stop there

I wish I had some of your free mind.
Start a Qur'an journal. Read verses you've already memorised, and write down every question and thought that comes to mind. For any question, attempt your own answer and write it down, then ask a scholar or look it up in books of tafseer and make the necessary correction, without omitting.
In a few year's time, you'll have a rich progress in Arabic, reflection and tafseer.

Shaykh, being you are into E-business - what is your take on going into E-commerce/Amazon/Drop shipping? Is it worth my time and effort and is it promising?

Drop shipping is prohibited, it is not synonymous with e-commerce and Amazon.
It is imperative upon every Muslim to learn the fiqh of transaction before they start a trade.

Is it permissible for unmarried individuals to do istimna'a? Is it haram to stay unmarried? What if one can't find what they look for?

The Messenger of God said: "O youth, whoever has the ability, let them get married (...) And whoever cannot, let them fast."
Consult with a righteous and knowledgable Sheikh to guide you how to choose.

Is it allowed to make du3a to Allah for more (halal-tayyib) wealth with the intention to give more sadaqah (building mosques, paying for poor, build water wells etc) if one is mukhlis? Such du3a combined with the asking of akhira, najah from 3adhab and etc? Is that allowed (mubah)?

Yes.

يا شيخ .. لا احفظ من القران الكثير واريد ان اقوم الليل ,فهل يجوز ان اقرا من المصحف ف القيام؟؟ ..وايضا هل يجوز ان اجهر بصوتى حتى ف صلاة الظهر والعصر

نعم تجوز القراءة من المصحف في القيام.
والسنة أن تسر القراءة في الظهر والعصر، ولا يفلح من خالف السنة.

My religious friend has been trying to get married for some time, but since he is part Afghan part Bengali, literally every single Muslim ethnicity hates his guts, including his parents' respective ethnic groups, and people think he's "impure". Can you please make dua for him Sheikh Sahab?

The Messenger of God said about ethnic zeal/supremacy: "abandon it! it is filthy."
May the Almighty grant him a loving spouse.

SalamuAlaykum Sheikh I was reading some of your previous answers and was wondering what is the ruling on making wudu during Ramadan , specifically for washing the mouth and nose. Is it still fard to do that when fasting? What happens if we accidentally swallow or sniff in too much water?

It's a pillar of wudu to wash the mouth and nose, in our mathhab. The sunnah is to wash both thoroughly, unless the person is fasting then you do not exaggerate.

How can you prove that Islam is the truth? Keep in mind that the lines "Where do I start?" or "the evidence is just so great that I can't" are both cop-out answers.

Where do I start, the evidence is just so great that I can't. :)
Science can only prove what's evidently false. Logic can only prove what's logically correct. The Truth can only be reached by belief.
To answer your question, God says "Whomsoever God does not make a light for, will not have a light."

Salaam Sheikh. A small amount of pre-ejaculatioj fluid touched/potentially went on my clothes. It's so small I can't even see it. Can I pray in these clothes?

No, wash enough area of the clothes (or, all of it) until you're certain the najaasah is washed away.

هل النار فانية ام باقية؟ بعض الملحدين يظن بتعارض الرحمة الالهية و تخليد الكفار في العذاب.

باقية أبدا، قال تعالى: ولو رُدوا لعادوا لما نُهوا عنه.
ولو كلما ظن بعض الملحدين شيئا أجبناه، لما قامت للناس دنيا ولا أنهينا مصلحة.

Salam Alaikom Brother, When relatives of members of our community die abroad they sometimes ask to pray Salat al ghaib on them at the mosque even though most times they have already been prayed upon. Is the practice allowed?

Wa alaikum assalam,
Salaatul ghaa'ib is permissible, in our mathhab and also Shafi'i mathhab, upon a Muslim who died far away and no one prayed on them.
The other view in our mathhab, as imam Ahmed himself reported, that it's only permissible on a well known pious Muslim who died far away and no one prayed on them, not just any Muslim.
As for Malikis and Hanafis they say it's an act specific to the Prophet only, no one else has the right to do it.
The opinion that it can be prayed on someone away even if people there prayed on him or her, is an odd opinion that isn't supported by any of the four mathaahib.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله تعالى وبركاته كنت ناوية صيام الأيام البيض اللي اليوم اول ايامها لكن لما صحيت شربت الماء سهوا وليس قصدا اكمل الصيام ؟؟

إذا بيتّي النية للصيام من الليل، كأن تسحرتي مثلا، فلا يضر صيامك ما أكلتِ ناسية

السلام عليكم قيام الليل وفوائده هل يجوز ان اقيم الليل بقراءة القرآن من المصحف ؟؟

وعليكم السلام،
نعم

اسئلك بالله ان تجيب ، هل يجوز دفع الرشوه فى بلد غير مسلمه وفى جامعة ودكاتره ه غير مسلمين، وان دفعت الرشوة هل لها توبه ان كانت محرمه، وهل هذا الكلام صحيح ان دفعت رشوة فى الجامعة يصبح مالى الذي اكتسبته فى عمل بهذه الشهادة حرام، هلى العلم ان هناك دكاتره يرغموننا على الرشوة ولكن ليس مجبورين

الحمد لله وبعد،
لا يجوز دفع الرشوة، في بلد المسلمين او الكفار او في المريخ، ولو لم يكن بد للحصول على هذه الشهادة الا بالرشوة. قال رسول الله: لعن الله الراشي والمرتشي.
وكم من صاحب شهادة لا يجد عملا يسد رمقه، وكم من تاجر ثري لم يدرس بعد الابتدائية شيئا.
ولا يجوز أن تقول أسألك بالله لقول النبي ملعون من سأل بوجه الله. وقوله لا يسأل بوجه الله إلا الجنة.
ومن السنة ان تبدأ الرسالة بالسلام.
