Ignoring the criticism of people

Q: Some people are backbitting me and teasing me on my shortcomings and let each other know about my ayaibs, when they meet me this thing hurts me and causes severe pain to my emotions. I am generally a quite person and don't say anything or reply, this is a kind of fitna which I am going through. Please Advise me on this matter.

Male consulting a female doctor

Q: We have a family doctor who is a female. My wife is satisfied with her treatment. She is qualified and taking care whenever we need. I am also satisfied with her but since she is a female and sits with us in order to administer the treatment when we get sick, and during conversation I have to face her which is hard to avoid, I am hesitating and concerned about the Shari'ah, what it directs us in this matter? Should I find another male doctor or I can continue with her? Please Advise me in this matter?

Sunnat-e-Muakkada if one returns from a journey in the Salaah time

Q: I performed isha whilst being a traveller but I returned home before fajr time. Will it be ok for me to perform 2 rakaats isha followed by 3 witr (and skip the sunnats since they are not emphasized then), or must I since I know that I will return home before fajr also pray the sunnats (either whilst on the journey or when coming home)?

Husband not controlling his gaze

Q: I am married for 24 years. About five months back I noticed my husband was not controlling his gaze. The situation reached to an extent that I was prepared to leave. My husband has now made taubah and insha allah, has changed his ways. However, I need some advice:

  1. I am extremely hurt, how do I overcome this?
  2. Many times I feel depressed, especially upon awakening.
  3. I suffer with anxiety attacks and headache before going out to places where there will be females around. We live in Madinatul Munawwarah and I find it extremely difficult to go to the haram etc.
  4. At times I cannot handle the stress and think of ending the marriage.
  5. My husband is trying to be good to me, and I try to hide my feelings from him, however, how do I build the trust in my husband again?
