Q: I'm from Hyderabad, India and currently reside in Doha (from last March). The thing is I was in Saudi Arabia for 6 years and from December 2011 my toughest period of life started, Alhamulillah, I'm now quite fine. The thing is I was jobless, without any salary from December 2011 till 28th Feb 2013, which is more than 14 months of joblessness. During this time, I dipped into deep financial crisis and had to borrow money from nears & dears for me and my wife/son's survival. Alhamdulillah, to this day, I've repaid the debts of 4 persons out of 10. Insha Allah I hope to clear off the remaining debts too. My question now is am I eligble for Qurbaani? Can I opt for Qurbaani in A cow instead of sheep? Please advise me.

Q: I am 27 years old. I was non practising Muslim, but 7 years ago I started practising. For a few months everything was going fine, but after that doubts started in my mind. To make the story short, I did everything to cure, wazaif,medical treatment, etc.I lost my mind completely, I was crying too much, I lost my job due to depression, then I was hospitalised and doctors said its OCD, anxiety, etc. It's been 7 years I am in doubts in basic Islamic teaching like hereafter, angel, and these doubts are down rooted in my heart, that whole day I provide proofs to myself, but it doesn't help. I lost every thing prayers, tahajjud, zakaat, fasting, Ramadan, because most of the scholars says that ibaadah (prayers) with doubt is useless and doubters will be among infidels. I also have some psychological disorder like depression, OCD, personality disorder, social anxiety disorder. Please tell me what should I do? Please tell me what is this, weak faith or psychology problem? I know there is no way of return for me, but I don't want to die in this state. Till today I am trying my best to clear my mind from these nonsense doubts but nothing helps. Please tell me should I keep going like this, or there is any hope for me?

Q: I have been trying to get a clear answer for a proposal and it is my habit that I generally make the istikhara dua every now and then without intending to see a dream. This time I tried a few times with the intention of dreaming or some sign. Before I ask, I want to know that when we are sleeping and dreaming many dreams, how do we know that which one is our indication? Is it all of them combined or just something that we remember? Also I couldn't sleep right away but in the morning, maybe due to the anxiety. Anyway the first time I saw many dreams as usual, but remembered making and eating white sweet dish but then I also saw a relative in black clothes and
dried blood which startled me. Then the next time I hardly saw much, just that my parents were not letting me go to the man. The third time I saw that I was in a shop and then I remember coming home and in my bedroom to sleep, with a white cloth blowing over my bed. At that time my little sister comes to tell me that these are the clothes that I selected and on a piece of paper it was written "white and purple velvet (dark)". I was thoroughly confused by such mixed signals and then the very next day I had a proper dream, though I didn't make the istakhara dua. In that dream I am on the roof with my family and the sky turns from clear blue to dark black clouds in a second. Then I see that the man is sitting with the men of the family, I can hear them laughing and my female relatives are smiling down at me and when they make me join their room we both look at each other happily. But later my mother receives a call from my father, rejecting the proposal and I am devastated in the dream. Please tell me what you can make out of this since I think it has both good and bad in it. Also my dreams were in the dark as well, it always appeared to be night. 

Q:

1. A girl was forced to accept a boy for Nikah. She was threatened to be killed by her parents if she refused and thus she accepted verbally and in writing against her will. She was not happy about the boy. After the Nikah she was forced to go live with him. After some time living with him she is still not happy about him. Was the Nikah valid? If not, then was all the time that was spent together (seclusion, talking, touching, etc...) considered sinful on both the boy and the girl? What should the girl do in this situation now? Is it Wajib for her to separate from him? What should the boy do if he finds out now that the girl was forced into the Nikah against her will?
2. In another scenario the girl was not threatened to be killed, but instead she was pressured by her parents and other relatives and she thus accepted verbally and in writing under their pressure to make them happy. However she herself was not happy with the Nikah. After the Nikah she was pressured to go live with him. After some time living with him she is still not happy about him. Was the Nikah valid? If not, then was all the time that was spent together (seclusion, talking, touching, etc...) considered sinful on both the boy and the girl? What should the girl do in this situation now? Is it Wajib for her to separate from him? What should the boy do if he finds out now that the girl was pressured into the Nikah and she is not happy with him?
3. If in scenario 1 the girl becomes happy with the boy after living with him for some time is the original Nikah still valid? Do they have to re-do the Nikah?
4. If in scenario 2 the girl becomes happy with the boy after living with him for some time is the original Nikah still valid? Do they have to re-do the Nikah?

Q: A friend of mines had a question about marrying a person who is a shia and willing to follow and raise the children as Sunni:

My question is that I want to marry this girl but she is Shia, if the girl is willing to marry me, raise our family and follow the Sunni way as my parents want is it gunaah or forbidden to marry a Shia if they do not convert? Her parents would accept me as a Sunni they just would not want her to convert but she will follow the Sunni way and also raise our chidlren sunni. Please keep in mind we have not talked to our parents about this situation yet and please give me some guidance as I do not want to go against anyone's parents. The only thing we have done so far is complete the isthikara which came out good alhumdulillah.

I did Istikhara for 7 days:

Istikhara: first night dream: He saw in his dream he was taking a picture of the girl and his family together like a group photo.

On the fifth night he did istikhara he had a dream where he saw lots of trees and her in a white shalwr kameez coming to his house accompanied by her little brother.

1. Is it gunna or forbidden to marry a Shia if they do not convert?

2. Is their a conversion process from Shia to Sunni? What does a Shia person have to do to become Sunni?

Q: I have depression. Send me some quraani dua for depression. I am very moody and sad. When I am at home and someone is talking to someone else, I think they are talking about me.

Q: Is fxcm.com halal or haram. It is forex. 

This is what you do in forex, buy 1 usd dollar when it is equal 2 euro dollar and sell it when it is more than 2 or equal to 3 usd dollars.

For example: I bought when it was like this, 1 USD = 2 EURO. I will sell when it becomes 1 USD = 3 EURO or more than 2 EURO.

So is it halaal or haram? Can you tell me why is it halaal or haram, and also say at the end of your answer, this "It is halaal" or "it is haram" so I can understand clearly.
