Q: I would like to know if it's permissible to say allahuma barik instead of Masha Allah and what is the difference? I was taught to say Masha'Allah but I have seen others say allahuma barik.

Q: I wanted to ask if listening to subliminals is permissible in Islam. If the intention is to use it as a positive affirmation like to boost confidence and motivation, especially while studying. I don't want to listen to music or anything haraam, so I was thinking of using subliminals with natural sounds, like rain, and without any audible words. Would this be okay from an Islamic perspective?

Q: A woman doesn't observe pardah (covering her face). 

She works in a home. There is a man and a woman. The man observes pardah from her. When she comes to work, she comes walking and without pardah. The employees have tried to encourage her to wear pardah but to no avail. 

Now she is offered a job at another place. There it is not clear who she will come into contact with. 

My question is, if a person suggests for her to take the job, is the person sinful because she will come into contact with men. She isn't observing pardah, she is also leaving the house to come to work, so on the way she is going to come across men.

Q: If a female who was born out of wedlock and raised by her maternal grandparents as their own, who is her Mahram? 

Does her uncles, her mother's brothers become her Mahram? Will her brother, they share the same mother but not father become her Mahram? 

And are her male cousins, sons of her mother's sister's and brother's become her Mahram?

Q: I am part of an archery organization in which, for training purposes and competitions 3D foam animal targets are used. 

Is this permissible? Can the head be cut off then used? 

Is the purchasing and selling of these targets permissible? 

Is attending such competitions permissible?

Q: I am working as teacher in a Higher Secondary School, where students of age group 14-18 are enrolled. 

Is it permissible in Islam for a male teacher to place his hand on the head of a female student as a gesture of affection and encouragement.

Q: I would like to ask if it is permissible to watch dramas like Yunus Emre or Kurlus Osman or any other Turkish dramas which are not inappropriate. What about animated movies which have romance and time travel isekai which means to go into a book or another body being alive again and stuff like that. 

I won't believe anything like that. It is just for fun and all this during the time when I have menses or any other free time. If not, are there any other halal ways of entertainment other then spending time with family?

Q: I observed Hijab (with face cover) but my wedding is near and when my marriage proposal came, my mother in law requested me not to cover my face in front of my brother-in-law after marriage. I feared that time and I agreed to her but now I'm confused if Islam allows it or not. Please guide me regarding that.

Q: I travel quite often out of town for work purposes. Can I call my wife and children via a video call to see how they are doing? The call will not be recorded

Q: I have a death sentence and don’t want to die. In Islam is it mandatory to be subjected to death no matter how severe?
