Autism in one tweet. Islamic ethics is not simply pouring over fiqh manuals. If that was all, nobody would have ever written on adab and ihsan. The idea that “technically according to this legal manual you have the right to do X, but you prob shouldn't” isn't an alien concept
Hold on. How do you mean fiqh and ethics are different?
You’re saying the shariah allows “unethical” behaviour? What is “ethics”? What is the Islamic concept that refers to “ethics”? I’m not aware of this being an Islamic concept at all.
The fiqh is our complete source of guidance on the good. Do you agree with that? Because you seem to be contradicting it.

“in my youth, I fell in love with a girl of mine who had blonde hair. Since then, I have never found a black-haired woman beautiful, even if she were as radiant as the sun or embodied beauty itself.”

It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.

My theory is that when Italian merchants first traded with Muslims, they tried to copy the Islamic profit-and-loss sharing model for their own deals and shipping expeditions. They saw how uncertain it was compared to the interest-based financing they were used to, and therefore named it after the Arabic word rizq, which became our word “risk”

Every time a Muslim, male or female, sets their boundaries, Westerners lose their minds and suddenly act oblivious to the concept of consent.

I have visited Afghanistan 5 times during IEA. This was the first year I had to explain on 3 different occasions why I didn’t speak Pashto. On one occasion I was asked; “what kind of a Muslim are you?”.

Oh Zakariy, what did you do in this life to earn a blessing that still reaches people six years later?

Many Christian missionary sources complain of their converts returning to Islam. I think some of their statistics are clearly exaggerated, but it's obviously a real phenomenon. Though one of the common ways they try to explain it is to invoke persecution
