Q: I belong to a very poor family, because my father sold all of his land, house, goods, etc. because he is addicted of all kinds of intoxications including women. Now he is stealing from people.

A few years back, my mama started working as a maid servant to bring us up. Now I am grown up and I cannot bear these things any more. I beat up my father when he steals something but he never stops.

I kicked him out from my house because I cannot explain what it is to live with my father. Will Allah forgive me? I do not want to do this but I am tired and can't bear this anymore.

Q: When going for umrah, is it better to go to Makkah first or should one go to Madinah Munawwarah first?

Q: In my past I have made vows to Allah saying that I would not do a "sin". For example if I stole something and felt really bad I would repent and say I promise I won’t ever steal again to Allah. The reason I emphasized "sin" is because some of the promises were just misconceptions meaning the "sin" is not really a sin I just promised not to do something thinking it was sinful but in truth it was not a sin. For example if I felt bad that I would delay my prayers I would promise to Allah that I would not delay the prayer ever again. Delaying prayers is not a sin but I made the promise thinking it was a sin. these misconception promises are really hard to keep and I am having a hard time living with them. So, I need to make these promises I made to Allah void or make the promises not count anymore. Is that even possible? How can I do it?

Q: I am a student who works at a taxi call center and I sometimes have to book taxis for people who come and go from bars and night clubs. I have been questioning a lot if my job is haram but I am not sure if I am directly involved in their sins. Because of the uncertanity I decided to apply for a second job in the hopes of quiting this one. I applied for a job at a group home to help seniors and people with disabilities, but I have not taken the job yet as there are different views about a female person working in such settings. I applied for this job because I thought it would be rewarding to take care of someone in need. Is it okay to work there if I take care of women only or if I just help them around the house without having to see their awrah? I am really struggling to find a halal job.
