Q: I heard that that the hands should be placed on the chest during salah because there are sahih hadith on this. And also, the hadith of placing hands below the navel is weak. Is this true? I've been told it doesn't matter much where the hands are placed as long as the prayers are offered, but I still would like to know the correct way.

Q: I am a married woman. My husband is impotent. What can I do to feed my sexual needs apart from fasting?

Q: I am in a difficult situation and need some help. I have been married for 6 months. My father in law gifted a house to my husband which we have been living in since the beginning. My husband has an elder sister who is divorced. She has been living with the elder brother and his family, but due to difference of opinions, some fights and due to not being enough space in their house, they can't keep her any longer. My father in-law has now asked us to take her into our house. My father in-law is married for the second time and lives with my husbands step mother, thats why its not possible for him to keep the daughter in his house. Another thing is that the sister in law has her own house (which she has rented out to someone) just 2 mins away from where we live. She is independent and works fulltime. I feel uncomfortable sharing the house with her because I have become used to having the house for my husband and me. We wont be able to have the same private life in the house with her presence. There is a big age difference between me and my sister in law and i am afraid that unwanted discussions/ fights can start in the house. What should we do in this situation? Should my husband try to ask my father in law as to why she cant live in her own house or should we just keep quiet and let her in the house?

Q: Since I am earning a basic salary and only meet my household needs for each month with only a little left over to spend on odds and ends what possible ways are there for me to ensure that my wife is able to give birth in a decent enough place that has correct treatment facilities and doctors. I under stand private hospitals are expensive and so are specialists. So is there any way that a normal gp can perform the delivery in a public hospital but at the same time ensuring that the wife giving birth gets the correct treatments. Or is there any medical aid or hospital plan available out there that us most Shar'iah compliant in order to help this need? Similarly are there any facilities that are not expensive that the wife can go to for delivery and or check ups? This is a question in need as some places are really in a bad state and to send women there and to be on those beds are not the best.

Q: My mother practices many zikars x-number of times as she’s been told by her late-brother that this brings much success. He was involved in Tableegh for MANY decades. I am trying to persuade my mother to abandon all this, and to solely act upon the authentic Sunnah. A close friend who is closely involved in Tabligh said to me that for me to abandon such practices is a sign of nifaqh, and as good as the Sunnah as it has supporting evidence from the Sunnah, that I am ignorant of. My questions: Is he correct? It’s a sign of nifaqh? Is it sinful for my mother to abandon all such practices, and solely rely on the Sunnah.
