Q: I plan on travelling overseas with my brother. The only issue is the accommodation wherein he has requested that I share the room with his step-son. He is currently 11 / 12 years. There shall be two single beds. Please advise if this is allowed.
Q: I just want to ask a question, does thoughts and images in your mind constitute hurmat-e-musaaharah. E.g when I want to hug my dad as a father or shake my hand I am scared to touch him because I remember hurmat-e-musaaharah and I don't want my nikah or my dad's nikah to be broken, so I get these thoughts of him. But I don't have no lustful feeling for him but I am scared. Second I am scared to have children. If I have a son and I have to kiss him as a mother even after he gets bigger or he holds me, I am worried about hurmat musaaharah. As a parent I would I like to love my kids and my parents. But what do I do with theses thoughts in mind. What is lust for a woman. I love my husband so much of course I don't have any feeling for my dad but I just have these thoughts.

Q:
1) Can you give detailed explanation on why does a son has more share on the wealth of his parents than a daughter? How shall a property/asset be distributed among 4 daughters and a son?
2) What's the Islamic perspective of a daughter's lineage - Is her lineage regarded as her and her in laws' descendants only? I read somewhere that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) stated about Hazrat Hussain (R.A) and Hazrat Hassan (R.A) being his bloodline whereas, generally, a child is a descendent of his father and beyond him.
3) Can we consider Hazrat Hajra being the most prominent islamic woman of all time - due to the obvious historical struggle she had in Makkah and her struggle is being remembered every year during hajj and umrah whereas no other woman has been given this much importance.
Q: I will be taking a small child (2 years) for umrah, and wanted to know if we should put an ihraam on him? Also if by holding the child, he pushes the niqab cap of his mothers and it touches her face, will a penalty be required?
Q: I would like to ask Mufti Saheb's opinion in regards to living with my in laws. I'm currently living at my husbands parents house and have been for the past 5 years. I have two little boys mashaAllah and am expecting my third child in April Insha Allah. I live with my husbands parents, his sister and sisters husband, his brother and brothers wife with a little child. I have been given one room to live with my children and husband and the space is very tight now especially with our expanding family. I want to know whether I am allowed to ask my husband to provide separate accommodation for us as I have started to really struggle with that many people and very limited space. I have been living here for quite a while now and things are getting difficult as my children are growing, the family is finding it hard to tolerate them, constant remarks are passed here and there which makes me very upset as a mother. There are also covering up issues as my brother in laws are around and sometimes there are slip ups where my hair or other parts get uncovered, especially with me running after my children all day at home. My husband has had numerous arguments with me over this but no matter how hard I try there are always slip ups. Alhamdulillah I have never raised my voice with anyone, I keep my peace with everyone over here, all I want is to live separately now. I don't ever want to take my husband away from his parents but I'm suffocating like this and can't carry on any longer. Would I be sinful for asking this off him? Does Islam give me a right to my own accommodation as a wife?
