Q: We are Hanafi. If I am leading the salaah at home, and my wife wants to read salaah behind me. What intention should I make? E.g. during ramadhaan, I read Esha, Taraweeh and Witr. Do I need to make an intention for each two rakaats that she is behind, or can I make an intention once for Esha and let it count for all. How must the intention be made? Verbally, in the mind, or just a realisation that she is behind me?

Q: My company has a compulsory pension/provident fund that I am compelled to join. There is no option not to join. I was aware of it when I joined the company, and I signed all the necessary paperwork. Does it still count as a pension fund that is forced upon me, and do I still need to pay Zakaah on the payout. If Zakaah needs to be paid, then on what amount. Usually, the company takes off a certain amount off your salary, and puts it towards the pension fund. You have no access to this money while in the employ of the company. When you leave, the company subtracts off the tax portion, and then only gives you what is left. Does zakaat need to be paid on the full amount of the pension, or only the amount that is actually paid out (which has the tax subtracted)?
Q: As a teenager I had a bad habit of masturbation, which I sincerely and deeply regret. The urge was very strong and I resorted to this sin even in the month of Ramadaan while in the state of Roza.

I need to know that what should I do?

Q: I am a married woman. I was involved with a married man when I was still staying with my husband. I committed zina with him. Me and my husband are separated for 1 year 8 months now. My husband sent me a signed legal document for divorce in which I also signed and accepted the divorce. Our case was called 4 months back and that was when we were legally divorced in the family court. We are no more in contact with each other. Just yesterday my mum called my husband to give me talaaq, but he didn't say anything about it. He didn't say that he is giving me talaaq. I have also asked him several times to give me talaaq but he doesn't. in this situation can I perform nikah again with whom I want to marry? I have heard that there is no iddat period after committing zina. Please tell me if iddat period is farz on me? and for how long?
