When the father dies the inheritance goes to the son even if that person has a older daughter. Is this true in terms of our religion, or is it a cultural thing?

What's the Matter

In Islam, men and women together are entitled to receive from the inheritance. In some cultures there is no share for women in the inheritance, but this is not Islamic practice

Hello. I am in the process of reverting, I am still learning. I would like to wear hijab. The only thing holding me back is my career. Most of my fellow peers tell me that my career is haraam because I am a female barber. I believe that my ability to cut hair as well as I do is a gift & blessing from Allah (swt). I feel like I’m not doing anything wrong because I am a licensed professional. What should I do? I want to become a Muslim and I don’t want this to interfere or get in the way of my career. Please help 😟

My question is, when non-Muslim members of one’s family pass away, how can we make dua for their souls? I read we cannot do it in the same way we pray for others, but I also don’t want to leave members of my family without prayers in the grave, if possible. I have found many mixed answers and am trying to find some clarity. Is there anything you can help with on this topic? Even if it is just an article or book to read, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Again, I hope you don’t mind me asking you. As I said, no one else I’ve asked has been able to give me a straight answer, because it’s not a very common topic I suppose.
