Q: I had heard an incident of the past wherin 3 people where closed in a cave and they each looked at a sinful act of their past to which they abstained and then asked Allah to move the rock blocking the entrance and Allah accepted.

This made me think and some weeks later in a depressed state whilst making dua to Allah, I said such, Oh Allah I will try my best no promises to abstain from this sin, please let me be married now. If I lapse into this sin again will I be accountable now for 2 sins.

1. The sin itself

2. Not abstaining. wrong

Q: I need guidance in this situation:

My husband is in jail for murder, and has not been incarcerated yet. It has been one year now and this is a cause of stress and pain to me. We have a child and I am getting no financial support from him nor his family. My child does not know that her father is in jail. I kept my child away from seeing him because I know how hurt my child would be. Due to this matter, am I able to get a divorce?

He is asking me to see his child, does he still have the right to see his child if he is in jail? If a divorce takes place, do I still have to bring my child to see him?
