Quick question regarding an oath made in anger

Assalamu alaikum I was planning to bake a specific dessert with my nephew but he was being insolent/silly and talking over me. I became stressed and angry and said something like "wallahi you're not going to make it!" I immediately regretted what I said as I don't normally say wallahi, let alone for trivial matters. As I wasn't specific in my wording does that mean he can make that particular.....

Wet dream for women

Salam, I'm asking this question to clear up confusion. After a wet dream, if a woman finds no discharge on her underwear. She then feels the vagina and externally it feels dry.

Ramadan as Commuting Student

I’m a student who commutes 51-61 miles (about 1 hour and 15 minutes) each way to and from my university about 3-4 times a week. According to Hanafi fiqh, a person is considered a traveler (musafir) if they travel 48 miles (77 km) or more, but I’ve also heard that frequent travel might not count. Since I travel this distance and return home each night, does this mean I still qualify as a mus.....

Then I did my ablution by wiping over my socks, but the fact that part of them wasn’t on my skin but on my legging/jogging maybe has rendered my ablution invalid ? Can you tell me if it does ?

Awra

Assalaamu alaykum. If I wear loose pants under my abaya during the prayer, then the leg holes at the bottom are loose as well, so when I prostrate, if someone stands behind me and lies down and puts their face close to the floor, then they might be able to see a little bit of my leg or all my leg by looking inside the leg holes, would that invalidate my prayer? But no one could see anything from a.....
