Reciting the first 3 verses only of Surah Faatiha in every rakaah of salaah

Q: As we know it is waajib to recite the first 3 verses of Surah Faatiha in every rakaah of salaah.

I heard a mufti say that qiraat changes the amount of verses in the Quraan. If I recite the first three verses of Surah Faatiha and combine the second and third verse and not recite further would my prayer be valid?

Pre marital relationship

Q: I have been speaking to a girl online and we have tried to stop speaking many times and I totally regret the sin and wanted to conceal it so I didn’t tell anyone but it gets difficult because we find ourselves falling back into the sin and we want to get married. The only thing stopping is my parents so I told my parents about the situation even though I never wanted anyone to know because I wanted to conceal my sin, thinking they would assist me into getting married. However my parents have still not given me an answer and they think I’m too immature to get married and that I don't read all my Salaahs which I try my very best to perform all the time and the girl has accepted me the way I am. Can Mufti Saab please advise me.

Woman going to a female doctor

Q: If my wife wants to go to the dr , but the dr is a female and I do not want her to go to a female dr because I do not support women being out of the home and the way the studies go on in universities, Is it fine if I get her checked by a male dr and only expose the parts she needs to get checked up by cutting out the material of an old garment under my supervision? Will this be fine or must she rather see a female dr?

Secret nikaah

Q: I'm with a person for many years. But now we live in the same place because we are studying in the same state. We meet every day and shake hands or be together that puts us under extreme guilt. From the start we only had an intention to get married SO we have now. We can't tell our parents this time because we live in a high society where you are supposed to get married when you achieve something in life, have a great job and everything. But we are still studying.

Now we are at the same place so we come in touch and we want to make our relationship halaal by doing nikaah so as not to get in any haraam things. Our age is 25. Can you please enlighten us in this matter. How we are supposed to do it? When in future we will do it in front of our parents that time do we have to give divorce first? Can we marry the same person twice?

Woman posting pictures of herself on social media platforms

Q: Is it allowed for a married Muslim woman to wear makeup and post her pictures on social media platforms like imo, WhatsApp, Facebook and telegram without the consent of her husband? If not what is the Islamic ruling for a wife who constantly do such things by violating the command of her husband despite telling her several times to refrain from posting her photo on social media?

Please I need your advice on this matter. What should I do? I have been telling my wife several times not to post her photo as it is against the sharia of Islam, however after I convinced her, she takes my advice for time being and agrees not to do it again, but after some time she continued to do it again and again.

Q: In Ramadhaan, when I wake up in the morning after sehri and performing fajar (for example 10 am).

And if this breaks fast then it means I have to repeat all my fasts. This problem is continuous with me. I cannot even make up previous fasts.
