Q: This is about a friend. She was in a relationship with a guy and she committed a sin (major). She then got married with one of her cousins who used to lived in Canada, so it was just nikah (no consummation) and she had to wait for her immigration for 2 years. She didn’t repent for what she did because she was living in ignorance of her deen. That guy came back to her life after sometime and she did the sin again. But Allah did mercy on her that she understood the bad intention of him and she broke all the ties with him. She is living with her husband since last 1 year. The issue started when she was reading Quran and she got to know about surah noor. She went to islamqa and there she found that if a person truly repents, then he can marry a chaste person. But if the marriage was before the repentance then the nikah is invalid and they should get a new marriage contract. She can not leave her husband house as it will cause a huge dispute in the family also she does not want to live a haraam life anymore. So she went to a mosque in Canada and ask the imam to take new marriage vows from them and also to become her wali, and Alhamdulillah they did it. But, now she read on islamqa that nikah is invalid if the wali is not present at the time of nikah. She has no relative in Canada who could become her wali. That's why she had no other option but to ask the imam. Has she done the right thing? Is her nikah with her husband valid now? Is there any hope for her?She does not want to get pregnant before getting sure that she is living a halal life now, she can’t even leave her husband's house. Please help her. She is very depressed and I am afraid that she will kill herself.

Q: My parents, sister and friends are always telling me why I am gaining Islamic knowledge? I don't know but I am very much curious about knowing and applying it. They always tell me "why you are are gaining knowledge and increasing your risk/probability of going to Hell, you just complete your fard Salah and recite some Quran, if you know more, Allah will ask you about that knowledge!" I always says to them, "you are not making any effort to apply it, and felling safe, and I am at least making some effort to gain more knowledge thereon pleasing Allah, if I hadn't done the known act in some situations, then will that allah not forgive me?" They are not gaining knowledge, and also trying to resist me. But, in each stage of appling my knowledge, I getting restrictions from my colleagues/friends (they are separate in grp expelling me) and parents. They say 'How can you be without any friends,' but I am try my best to be friendly with them by leaving bad things,' So what can I do now? Should I continue my effort or leave it? Plz give me suggestion

Q: I have been having problems with my husband for over 16years. He has been having an emotional if not physical affair and emailing and meeting with this woman. The last time I found out was in April last year when I told him that I wanted a divorce. Besides this affair he ignores me, is increasingly irritated with me, criticizes me all the time and generally is angry and resentful to me. We have been to many counsellors but he initiated it this last time. However he does not go with the intention of resolving the matter. Rather a case of "fix my wife, she has a problem" He has narcissistic tendencies and thinks that he has made his business his life and focal point. I lack for nothing materially. But I am living with a boarder. He has not been remorseful and doesn't apologize for anything. He says he has done nothing wrong because he didn't sleep with her. We are separated for 6 months. Even in this time he refused to cut her from his business and have no contact with her. I had made up my mind that I wanted a divorce. Every waking moment was a torment with thoughts of what he put me through mentally and emotionally. I was so angry that my blood would boil during this time. I have been praying tahajjud and making Dua. I went to the Jamiat and the lady there said I should decide whether to make an agreement or to divorce. At this point I was convinced that divorce was the way. I decided to read istikhara. The next morning after my mind was calm. The first thought that came to mind was the agreement. The next two nights were restless and nothing came to mind. Should I look at this as a sign that I should go with the agreement?
