Q: We went for umrah and after completing sa'ee, I used my trimmer machine to remove my hair with the help of one guy as I was tired. Can we cut/shave our hair at safa/marwa as we see many people doing it?

If not, am I sinful. That was first and last time I did it. Every other time I used to go to the barber shop.

Q: Does hurmat mushaharah become established if a person hugs his father but he has strange feelings in his private part. He was scared during the event and did not get a full erection, however he is not sure about any minor movements that he did not notice. But he thinks that the minor movements (very small movements) were because of nervousness. He did not get any sexual thoughts. He was also a little bit scared during the event.

Q:

1. Is it a major sin or a minor sin to talk unnecessarily with a non-mahram by text or phone?

Q: I have learnt that Sayyiduna Uthman (Radiallahu 'Anhu) used to recite the whole Quraan Shareef in Tahajjud Salaah. If one takes 5 minutes to properly recite a 1/4 para and hence 20 minutes per para then it takes 600 minutes (10 hours) to recite the whole Quraan Shareef. Since the night is not always 10 hours long, does it mean that Sayyiduna Uthman (Radiallahu 'Anhu) recited a para in less than 20 minutes?

Q: Is it permissible for someone who has some understanding of the meanings of the Quraan Shareef to not follow the waqf signs (e.g. ط in the IndoPak mushaf) and make waqf where he wishes (provided he does not make a big error)?

Q: If I do not have an income, but I have around R3000 saved up, will it be permissible for me to give kaffaarah for broken vows in the form of three days fasting or is it necessary to give the kaffaarah (several kaffaarah, around +/- 10) in money form? 

Q: Is it allowed for Muslims to live with non-Muslims in the same house?

Q: Is there any surah/dua that can be recited for protection from all haraam deeds, words and thoughts? I feel like I am insane since I get bad thoughts which I am not supposed to think about.
