LEA-AN (Li'an) is a term in Islamic law referring to a specific legal procedure used in cases of mutual accusation of adultery between a husband and wife, making it a clause or concept within Islamic jurisprudence.

Shibli Nomani introduced Arabic as a compulsory subject at Nadwa to strengthen Islamic scholarship, as Arabic is the language of the Quran and classical Islamic texts. The option 'Enalish' is a misspelling of 'English' and is not historically accurate in this context.

The first Eid ul-Fitr was performed in 1 Hijri, immediately after the month of Ramadan ended in the first year of the Islamic calendar. Therefore, option A is correct.

The Police Department, as a formal institution for law enforcement, is historically attributed to Hazrat Umar (RA) during his caliphate, where he established organized policing systems to maintain law and order. This is a recognized fact in Islamic history.

Wine (alcohol) was prohibited in the 4th Hijri year according to Islamic history, as revealed in the Quran and Hadith. This prohibition is well-documented and accepted in Islamic teachings.

According to Islamic jurisprudence, the nisab (minimum threshold) for zakat on goats (and sheep) is 40 animals. There is no zakat due if one owns fewer than 40 goats. Once the number reaches 40, zakat becomes obligatory, and the owner must give 1 goat as zakat for 40 to 120 goats owned. The zakat amount increases with the number of goats owned, but the minimum number for zakat obligation (nisab) is 40 goats.

There are six Surahs in the Quran named after animals: Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Al-An'am (The Cattle), An-Nahl (The Bees), An-Naml (The Ants), Al-Ankabut (The Spider), and Al-Fil (The Elephant). The original question's explanation missed An-Nahl (The Bees), which is also named after an animal. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.

Historical Islamic sources and traditional accounts indicate that Hazrat Umar (RA) embraced Islam after hearing the recitation of Surah Taha. The story narrates that he came to his sister's house, where he heard the recitation of this Surah from a scroll. Moved by its message, he took a bath and read it himself, which deeply influenced him to accept Islam. Surah At-Tawbah (option B) is not historically linked to his conversion. Therefore, the correct answer is Surah Taha (option A).

Ijma (consensus) operates in Islamic law when the Quran and Hadith do not provide clear guidance on a particular issue, allowing scholars to reach a consensus to address the matter. It is not dependent on the presence or absence of Shoora (consultation council).

According to Islamic jurisprudence, Zakat on camels becomes obligatory when a person owns at least 5 camels. For every 5 camels, one sheep or goat is due as Zakat. If the number of camels is less than 5, no Zakat is obligatory. This is supported by scholarly consensus and classical Islamic sources, including fatwas from recognized Islamic jurisprudence authorities. Therefore, the correct answer is B (5 Camels).
