Woman using nail polish to please her husband

Q: My husband really likes red nail polish on my hands and feet, but I also want to pray properly. I have to remove my nail polish every time I make wudu, which is becoming very difficult. 

I’ve heard about halal/water-permeable nail polish. After making wudu, if I apply it, can I pray with it, or does it still need to be removed before every wudu? Or can I put it on after shower or wudhu and keep it on till next shower? 

Please guide me, as I’m very confused and no one has been able to give me a clear answer. 

Hadith regarding performing two rakaats salaah when entering and leaving one's home

Q: I came across a Hadith below showing that one should perform two rakaat salaah when entering one's home and when leaving one's home. Is the hadith authentic and can one practice upon it? 

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: 

“When you intend to leave your house you should offer two rak’ahs of [nafl]. These rak’ahs will protect you from an evil exit [harm] and when you enter your home you should offer two rak’ahs they will safeguard you from harm.”

Being charged a monthly credit facility fee on a credit card

Q: I am using a credit card for which the monthly bill is issued on the 1st of every month. If I do not pay the bill by the 15th, the bank automatically deducts the full outstanding amount from my account. I use the credit card only to avoid exposing my debit card details to merchants or hypermarkets. Is this halaal? Alhamadullah, my account never runs out of balance. What is the ruling?

Paying for a deed search to find the properties the deceased father owned

Q: In order to find the properties which my deceased father owned, we need to conduct a deed search. Should the fee for the deed search be shared equally between all the heirs (i.e. the two sons and two daughters) or should the fee be shared between the heirs according to their stipulated shares of inheritance (i.e. the sons will pay double the amount the daughters pay)?

Charging the EFT charges when giving someone a loan

Q: My friend asked me for a loan of R10 000. He said that he will pay me back the R10 000 after a week. There is no extra amount that I asked him to pay over and above the R10 000. However, since he asked me to eft the amount to him through which my bank will charge me R7, I asked him to pay my bank charges i.e. to pay the R7 which my bank will be charging me to do the eft. Is it permissible for me to take the R7 from him for the eft charge?
