Sending one's daughter to live with her uncles and aunts in Pakistan

Q: My daughter has a very bad behaviour. She is 12. I want to send her to Pakistan to her grandparents. Her aunties and uncles are there who read their 5 times salaah and observe pardah (what am saying is its an Islamic environment). Is it right for me to send her because I am the parent and its my duty as a mother, but she doesn't listen to me at all. I am scared she might end up going on the wrong path.

Dream

Q: I made istikhara about whether a boy was right for me and it was meant for us to get married. My dream was as follows: I dreamt of 2 white men dressed like Buddhist monks approaching a big wall they needed to climb in order to enter a city, whilst climbing the wall they disappeared all of a sudden and I was climbing the wall, and thought that I was going to fall,I was holding onto some bodies leg but don't know who's, until I realised that I'm standing firm on the ground and that I am safe, I woke up after that. I am not sure if the dream even has any significance. But for the entire day, I have been feeling confident and happy and nothing could bring me down, not happy like on a normal day,but unusually happy. Was my istikhara positive?

Paper marriage

Q: My question is can I do marriage just in papers not actually with proper intentions nor physically. Also the female knows its just for papers not actual marriage. Its just to gain visa. I consulted with a lot of people most of them said if you are not betraying the person its fine Islam allows to make secure your future and for a better life. The example in my mind is about our prophet Ibrahim (Alayhis Salaam). He said his wife is his sister. Its just to obtain UK registrar office certificate and to put it in file but to make a strong case you have to do nikaah as well. This all is in papers. Only I and her know about this that this is just for visa.

So called Islamic schools

Q: Kindly favour me with your reply to the following queries: 

  1. Is it competent and permissible in terms of the Shariah fiqh regime for a disbeliever (kaafir) to be appointed to the position of principal or head of an Islamic institution? Having regard to various verses of the Quran, including but not limited to those in Surah Maaidah,I was always of the view that the Shariah proscribed such an appointment.
  2. Is it permissible in terms of Shariah for an Islamic institution to observe a period of silence at an assembly of its students as a mark of respect for a disbeliever who recently died?
  3. Is it permissible in Shariah to for an Islamic school to honour a disbeliever on the occasion of his birthday by singing of 'happy birthday' wishes and greetings at an assembly of the school population?
