Straightening the Saffs in Salaah

Q: It comes in a Hadith that straighten the rows, the word "taraas" has been mentioned which means join like a brick wall with no gaps. So why do we not join the feet and only the shoulders. Also, what does it mean by close the gaps shaitaan will come in-between? Also, if the companions joint their feet an shoulders should we not follow them in the beggining of Salaah? And is it nessasary to join the shoulders? Please give me daleel as these are people's questions. Where I give dars.

The name "Shasmeen"

Q: What does the name Shasmeen mean? Is it a good name to keep for a girl? Also I'm looking for a name for a boy that would not be mispronounced with regards to the correct tajweed pronunciation.

Purdah between husband's and wife's children from previous marriages

Q: Is there purdah between the husband's baligh son and the wife's baligh daughter from a previous marriage? Would they become milk brothers and sisters if the new wife has a baby from her husband and breast feeds the baby? Will the breast feeding of this mutual brother and sister render his and her children milk siblings. Please explain the ruling according to hanafi and shafi.

Is ligation permissible?

Q: I am 36 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. This baby and 4th baby were unplanned. I delivered a child one and half years ago with a c section and now again it will be a c section. It will be my third c section and its getting tough for me. I have searched online a lot and found out that tubal ligation is haraam. Unless the mothers health and life is at risk. Of course if I get pregnant again very soon, my health is going to suffer and I don't want to bear the pain of another c section again. So I just want your opinion if I can go for ligation?  I don't want to commit a sin in my ignorance.

Changing one's clothes during I'tikaaf

Q: I understand that one is allowed to change his clothes during Itikaf. In the Haram Shareef at Makkah and Madinah since there is no privacy, is it ok if one changes his clothes in the toilet when one goes to attend nature's call? Of course care is taken that one does not leave the Haram only for changing the clothes but does it when it is unavoidable to leave to fulfil the need to go to the toilet to relieve oneself.
