Q: I wanted to know where I stand in my situation. Basically, I have given my wife first divorce in January. After that, we had ruju' done and lived fine and happy for 6 months. But again, major issues were brought up and she went back to her mothers home. It has been three months with no contact and in that time, I signed a divorce paper witnessed by a solicitor which clearly states I divorce her. This was not given to her, but am I right to assume, because my intentions are involved, it is classed as the 2nd divorce?

Now, someone is trying to mend the relationship, but it has been over 2 month since this 2nd divorce. I am confused because some one has said, that between the 2nd and 3rd, even if you don't give a divorce, if the period of ruju' is over, it automatically nullifies the marriage. is this true? Or are we still in nikaah?

Q: When a person is a musaafir, what is the status of the Sunan-e-muakkadah?

Q: What is the status of a women covering her hair and arms in front of a kaafirah (waajib, mustahab, etc)? Is the covering of the arms from the wrist necessary or from the elbows? Although it is not necessary to know, but what is the reason for it being so? I never knew this mas-alah unti recently. So I'm quite curious to know how is it such.

Q: My question is that when we pray Fardh salah behind the Imam should we recite anything in between the 2 sajdahs or it is sufficient that Imam recite?

Q: Is it permissible to give zakaat to a Muslim working woman who is supporting her household by herself as a single mother.

Q: There is a mother working in Saudi as a nurse, always beating her elder daughter, her age is 16 years. The mother is saying the daughter is unlucky, using very very bad words to her for the past 10 years. The father and uncles are also helpless. The father sent the daughter to another uncles house for studying, far from his house around 250 kilometres,but unfortunately this family went on vacation and the daughter came to her house. The mother again started beating her, using very bad language with her. The father is helpless. What  should the father do? Should he get her married? What should he do? Please advise or send some wazifa for the daughter to save her life.

Q: I got married (only nikkah) 9 years ago (rukhsati and proper marriage function was done after 4 years). Me and my wife had some strong arguments over some thing after nikaah and I got hyper and to scare my wife I gave her 2 talaaqs like this I give you divorce, I give you divorce over a telephonic discussion and after the 2nd time I uttered the word of divorce she disconnected the phone. And that's what I wanted.

1. Before uttering the word divorce I kept quite and prayed to Allah Almighty that " Ya Allah I am not going to give my wife divorce and you are the only witness to this thought that I don't mean it. Actually this word which I am going to speak doesn't mean anything please accept my apology". Then after thinking this I spoke to my wife the word of divorce and by speaking the word I started speaking the word in my mind that I am not giving my wife divorce. After she disconnected the phone I called her back after some time like after an hour and apologised to her in a way "I am sorry please listen carefully I haven't given you divorce because I promised Allah that I am not giving divorce and uttered divorce so there is no divorce. Thats what happened 5 years ago I guess. Now one day I heard and came to know my divorced took place.

2.Tell me weather my divorced happened or not? If it happened then what I have to do now? 

3. If my divorced happened, then I think after 2 talaaqs I could take my wife back. Was the way I mentioned to take back correct or do I have to remarry her again. One important thing I need to mention here although after nikaah we had no sexual relationship but we were together alone in room a lot of time but we opted not to have sex because we had social fear of having a baby before rukhsati. Please advise.

Q: We run a DMIT company (dermatoglyphic multiple intelligence analysis). This is based on the science of dermatoglyphics (study of fingerprints) which reveals a person's inborn brain lobe functions, diagnosis of psychological disorders, learning sensitivity, multiple intelligence, learning style, brain skills, personality traits etc based on study of finger ridges of an individual. Is it allowed in Islam to work for such a company?
