Q: My sister got married and after few months her husband ran away to a neighbouring country for some political reason. She was pregnant and got a baby. After two years waiting, he couldn't come back but the only way was she has to follow him. But because she is the wife of that man, the country's law doesn't allow her to leave anywhere unless she is divorced from him so they made an agreement and he sent her a divorce letter. The question is, is their marriage accepted or not?

Q: I would like to know about the sunnah of honey and olive oil and how to eat it. I read some information online and what most of the websites say is that the sunnah way of eating honey is by adding it to boiling water and having it on an empty stomach, but wouldn’t the hot water kill the nutrients in the honey? And for the olive oil, would it be sunnah to have two tablespoons in the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach ?

Q: My neighbour is a 2nd wife and has 2 boys (13 and 15). She lost her older son 2 years ago. She was in pardah but started getting out of control. She brings strange men in her house that take her childrens phones, games, playstation only to mention a few. She is on drugs and started drinking alcohol. She comes home in the early parts of the morning leaving her kids without food most of the time. She swears and shout at them when she is home. I have contacted her family who are good people. All her sisters are in pardah. They are also fed up with her but my concern is the boys.

My question is, from an Islamic point of view, am I allowed to let the child welfare know about this or is it wrong? I just feel these boys will be better off without her because she is traumatizing them. I have spoken to her and she said she dont care about them as this is her life now.

Q: I'm turning 19 this year and I wanna know whether it's permissible for me to attempt facial surgery?

Backstory: Since I was a little girl, I've always been insecure about the way i look. I clearly remember people commenting about my face. What's wrong with my face? It's asymmetrical. More specifically, the things that really bothers me are my eyes and nose. My eyes are not symmetrical as one is higher than the other/not leveled and one's smaller than the other. I was born with one monolid and one double eyelid. I remember when i was little, my friend said that one of my eye is smaller than the other and then continuing doing a facial expression by squinting one of her eye so that it would resemble me. That happened when i was around 10. It left a huge mark on me. And then there's my nose. I'd describe my nose as a nose that has a weak nose bridge/no bulbous tip and if you look at it from a downward angle, it looks like a hemisphere rather than a triangle just like how other people have. When i was 14, my friends were talking about my nose and asking questions about it which made me insecure but i didn't show it, she later on touched my nose to feel it and she said that i don't have a 'bone' on my nose bridge/tip of my nose and she concluded that's why my nose is shapeless/big. Other people have made their criticism on it, telling me that it's big, weird and made it seem as abnormal to them.

Those two things really made me feel so self-conscious about myself. I hate going out and even wearing the hijab because it somehow accentuates the face and mine is so asymmetrical. it somehow led to my depression as i was diagnosed with the mental condition when i was 15 and took prescriptions up until now. so, what's your opinion on my case? Can i do surgery on the parts that i mentioned?
