Impurity on the bed

Q: If a towel was put on the bed and some semen after intercourse went on it which then transferred to the other bottom side of the towel which was touching the bed sheet then does that mean the bed sheet is also impure? This is because the wetness of the semen from the bottom side of the towel touching the bedsheets could've been transferred. Although when checked after few minutes the sheet was dry and and there were no stains. Should I have to wash the bed sheet?

What should one do with pigs that were part of the farm one purchased

Q: I purchased a farm and whatever it contains from a non-muslim farmer. Afterwards I found out that the non-muslim farmer kept many domesticated pigs as pets on the farm. I thought of loading them up on my truck and dumping them in the bushes, but then I realized that they are tame pigs and in doing so, they will not survive in the bushes and die within days. They are too the creation of Allah Ta'ala, hence I find difficulty in just dumping them and leaving them for dead. I then thought of giving them to another non-muslim farmer but then the thought came to mind that what if I will be assisting them in haraam in doing so? Then I finally thought of shooting them and then giving the meat to a relative of mine who owns a lion park, as food for the lions. Is it permissible for me to give the pig meat to him to feed his lions? If not, then what should I do with these pigs? Please advise.

Sunnah qiraat on Fridays

Q:

1) On Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah (farz), the Imaams of the Musjid as well as the Musallis finds it difficult for surah-sajdah to be recited in the first rakaat, and then surah-dahr in the second. Therefore, by one Imaam (Zaid) spiltting up surah-sajdah in two rakaats on one Friday morning and then the other Imaam (Bakr) splitting up surah-dahr in two rakaats on the next Friday morning; will we still be fulfilling the Sunnah?

2) Is it Sunnah to recite Surah Jumuah on Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah? (farz)

3) Is it Sunnah to recite Surah A'laa and Surah Ghaashiyah on Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah? (Farz)
