Q: My question is about a very sensitive issue. If a person touched the private parts of his uncle's wife while she was asleep with lust but afterwards he realized it is a great sin. What is the Islamic ruling for him? What should he do for tawba.
Q: I have decided to terminate my partnership and need help regarding the following:
1) We will be finalising the balance sheet and come to a nett figure. Is it correct to calculate the nett value of the business after depreciating all the assets to current market value?
2) All accounts receivables will be calculated at 100% recovery rate less standard discounts that clients would normally take. This figure will than be used as the nett value against monies receivable. The partners agreed to this recovery rate.
3) The partners have agreed on a repayment plan.
Is the exiting partner entitled to a profit share whilst the outstanding monies of his hasn't been paid from the business. Does this apply whether the exiting partner comes to the work place or not. We understand that as partners we are not entitled to a fixed salary but rather to profit share.
4) Is charging for future earnings permissible. Is there any kitaab that we can read that will have shariah rules to answer all the complexities of desolving a business partnership. May Allah Ta'ala guide us all.

Only the Umrah itself) Where to put on Ihraam, where to go from there, what are the duas, what intentions to make, how to make tawaaf, how to make sa'ee, what duas to recite during them, where to drink zam zam, how to make dua standing on safaa and marwa etc. I want to know everything in detail recommended for a Hanafi to carry out in Umrah. Also, I will be visiting Musjid-un-Nabawi and the blessed grave of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). I would like to know the aadaab and etiquettes upon visiting them. Also the aadaab upon entering Madinah Munawwarah.

Q: I would like to get our close family members to coordinate the reading and Khatam of Qur'an for the Marhooms in our family. It will NOT be forced on anyone. Only those happy to join will join. It seems to me that this is a good method of reminding each other to read the Qur'an - as most people are now days very distracted and forget. We wish to use the mobile phone app called whatsapp to coordinate this effort. We will only use it as a communication tool to remind each other. Similar to how we might remind each other with written letters or direct meeting and talking but since people live so far apart (worldwide ) - this app is very convenient to set up an effort of this kind. What is your kind opinion on this idea? Someone told me it is not a good idea. Subhanallah I could not see the harm in reminding and organizing people to read the Qur'an however we can. Please educate me.
