Q: I know a person who has many problems and difficulties when it comes to performing salaah, reciting Quraan and making zikr. He has a bad memory, poor concentration and experiences difficulty in pronouncing Arabic words properly. He makes many mistakes when performing salaah and reciting the Quraan. Is it still necessary for him to carry out ibaadaat such as salaah and reciting the Quraan despite making so many mistakes?
Q: It is sunnah for women to offer salah at home. However, when performing tawaaf, if the time of salaah enters, then should she read it with jamaat behind the imaam in the haram? After the salaah ends, many women are offering individual salaah. Is there a sin if I walk infront of them? There is too much of a rush so one cannot wait for all the women to finish salaah. What should one do in this situation?

Q: Is it true that when you are not certain about some fact in Islam then you don’t believe in that? For example, if I don’t know about a ruling in Islam, I don’t believe in that?
Q: I have clear and also yellowish discharge on a daily basis. I may begin my period in 4/5 days. I’m getting yellowish discharge - but this is, as I said, normal for me. However, I’m also getting lower abdomen pain. Like a twinging feeling - it seems a little similar to cramps. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to count this as haidh. What usually happens to me every month is, I see brownish discharge (which is old blood, so I know for sure it is hayd) then I see regular brown/red blood. But if yellow discharge is considered blood, then what do I do in this situation? Some women go through something called ‘pre-menstrual syndrome’ a week or two before our periods. I’m not sure if the cramp like feelings are a result of this syndrome or not or even something else.
Q: If ladies are following the imam in a separate area from the men, does the imam still have to make niyyat for their imamat for their salah to be valid? Behishti zewar suggests that even if the imam doesn't make niyyat, their salah will be correct, in the situation where they won't be coming next to the men.
Q: I wish to ask about women observing purdah in a joint family system. I got married three months ago in a joint family system. Before marriage, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala , blessed me and I was able to follow sharia rules strictly in my father’s home. We have no television at home, we only went out for necessities, and we studied school up to primary level and stayed back home and studied A level through online studies. Alhamdullilah, we observed right purdah as per sharia rulings in my father’s home. After marriage, my husband has given me a separate room. He has four young brothers and a sister living together with their mother in the same house.
My mother in law often asks me to sit together with all the family members including her sons when they gather for lunch, dinner and tea time. My husband remains quiet although he understands that this order from his mother is against the law of purdah and this gathering is illegitimate in the law of sharia for me to sit.
Secondly my mother in law asks me to open my face in the house and mingle with family members, talk and smile. I intend to ask the following question as per sharia rulings:
1. Can I sit in congregation as my mother in law desires?
2. Can I open my face in the house as my mother in law desires?
3. Can I talk in a voice that is loud enough to go in the ears of my husband’s brothers while sitting together.
4. Can I hear the voice of my husband's brothers while sitting in a congregation.
5. If I observe the ruling of the house, open my face, sit in congregation, talk loudly so that others can hear and listen to the talk of na mahram, who will be responsible for these sins. As you know that a woman is weak and helpless in Asian societies.
Q: If a man develops repeated abscesses on his private parts and the surgeons advise laser to remove the hairs around the private area permanently as the hairs contribute to abscess formation, would it be permisible to expose the private parts to male or to female nurses/doctors for laser? Since shaving with a razor is thought to increase the abscess formation.
