Q: There is a local mufti or two I'm close with - they are both teachers in madrasah. One of them is a Khatib in a masjid and the other is an imam. They are known for their knowledge and piety. If I get questions pertaining to these should I consult with one of them? I think I'm more comfortable with that as it's easier to express oneself in person. I had previously asked question(s) pertaining to both of them and their answers gave me comfort. Would it be better if I consult one or both of them on this issue and others, especially with regards to my mental state, instead of questioning scholars online for fatwa? Will I be sufficiently fulfilling my responsibility?
Q: Is the qasidah burdah a form of shirk?
Q: I feel bored reciting surah mulk because I have read it many times and because of its name (mulk) and other surahs which I know its meaning. Is this kufr? Isn't this same as hating what Allah has revealed which is kufr?

Q: If someone got a problem and instead of making dua to Allah he tries other ways to come out of it. Is this low iman or kufr. (He is not making dua because he thinks that maybe Allah will not fulfill his duaa.) E.g. A financial problem came to him. He starts asking people for money. He doesn't make dua for the same reason above. Is it kufr or low iman?
Q: If someone commits kufr unknowingly or forgetfully or unintentionally, does he require to say shahadah again? If yes, then how it is that if someone committed kufr unintentionally and still he got out of Islam and became kafir? How can he be guilty of kufr while he had no intention doing it?
Q: I purchased two sets of books published by Dar-us-Salam publications, Riyad-us-Saliheen (English translation w/commentary) and Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English translation). After purchasing these I realized that Dar-us-Salam books have Salafi influence and I found some contradicting statements in one of the books. I have since stopped reading them all. What should be done with these books that preserves the honor and respect of the Quranic Ayaat and Ahadith contained within them?

4) The big bang theory.
Schools drill these into students' minds.
