Q: I have a strong desire to die. In this world I can't do anything, that's why I want to die. 

Is it haraam to have this kind of desire?

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 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: With regards to the permissibility of using Aafiyah Healing, Bodytalk & Reiki as alternate healing/treatment, the treatment which is of great concern is one which is carried out by a practitioner abroad. 

All she requires are names of patients, other family members and maybe a few other details. 

There are no one on one consultations, to the extent she can tell things about patients and their problems even whilst the patient is asleep.

Q: Is it halaal to rap without music and just a duff in the background for keeping track of the rhythm?

Q: We play indoor net cricket, which has the per hour payment. We usually play on "lose to pay" basis, that the losing team will pay 100% of the payment of the indoor net. Is it haram or permissible? 

Secondly, what if we split it on 75% and 25% from losing team and winning team respectively. Is it permissible or not?

Q: I am awake from 2 o'clock till Fajr time but after Fajr I feel extremely tired can I rest? Because I know after Fajr is a mubarak time to engage in zikr of Allah.

Q: Where I'm working, I know the people quite well. I've been working here for about 3 years or so now. 

They give me duties to do, example, to take their mother or wife or sister to go shopping or to transport them from one place to another. 

I personally don't like doing that because they are non mahram. My wife gets angry with me when I do those things and she doesn't speak to me. 

If I do tell my boss that I can't do those duties, I know personally they will fire me or treat me differently although they are Muslims. What should I do?

Q: My children's father is addicted to drugs. 

I do not feel comfortable with them spending time in his company & I'm advising them to help him with food only if he gets sick as I feel they are enabling his habit. He manipulates them to feel sympathy for him & uses them for money, transport, food etc. Am I incorrect for doing this?

Q: What are the laws of Hijrah? 

If someone already moved to Turkey or Pakistan or South America with the intention of Hijrah, is he allowed to move back to his home country, like UK or South Africa?
