Q: I would like to know if black bangles are allowed for babies for protection or is it more a Hindu custom. The little knowledge I have it's not part of our Sunnah.

Q: If a husband left his wife and children a year and no chances to come back to country with no money and necessary facilities and they lived alone, so according to Islam is there any relation between husband and wife remaining? He was not giving to her naan nafaqa?

Q: Nowadays, majority of husbands have a single wife with the exception of some. In this situation, how can a woman be asked to tolerate her husband's second marriage. Isn't it a responsibility of the husband to inform her prior to the marriage of him entering into another marriage so that she can choose to marry him or not?

Q: My question is twofold: 1) Can I retain my wife in a marriage wherein she claims that I have not been emotionally supportive of her and she is unhappy, yet I feel I want to work on the issues (especially since we have 3 children to consider)? 2) We have already divorced twice (2 talaqs) and knowing that after the 3rd talaq we cannot reconcile without first marrying other people - what if she had to pursue a Fasakh (annulment) which is then granted, can we perhaps still re-marry after that?

Q: Is marriage with mother's uncle's daughter permissible or not?

Q: Is it permissible to eat meat or chicken or any type of delicious food on the 10th of Muhrram?

Q: Can a single qurbaani on Eid-ul-adha be done for the sawab of more than one deceased person?

Q: If we convey the reward after reciting Qur'an or Durood Shareef to a deceased person, do we get any reward ourself too?

Q: Whilst doing istinja and washing away the urine, sometimes water goes towards the inner thighs, but is this water considered najis. Do I have to wash my thighs and my hand after washing away the urine, or is it considered clean because water is continuously running. I feel like I have to use more water this way and I'm not sure if I should be washing everything.

Q: I gave my wife 3 talaaqs 9 years ago. We have two daughters who were 2 and 4 years at the time. First talaaq was given while my in laws were living with us. We got into a very bad argument (screaming and shouting) and I wanted to leave the house but my father in law insisted that I give her talaaq. Unfortunately I did not know much about rules of talaaq back then.We were apart for 6-7 months but reconciled and made nikkah again. At this time my then wife was looking after and supporting her parents as they were out of work, which put a lot of strain on our relationship. We had another disagreement a few months later and I consequently issued her with another talaaq and while issuing her with the second one she insisted that I give her a third talaaq. My wife was a very stubborn woman and while I am not short tempered if I do get angry I "snap". At this stage I became so enraged that I issued her with the third and final talaaq. The third talaaq was issued out of pure rage and this is something that I regret to this day. As stated before it is now 9 years later and neither myself or she has been with anyone else. For the past 9 years it seems as if we have have grown closer to one another (without her parents involvement as they have moved to Cape Town). I would like to know if there is any chance that we can reconcile and get married again? A few days ago she confessed that she still loves me and I in turn also confessed that I still love her. At the time I did not know the implications or conditions of talaaq and have asked Allah for forgiveness as I realize what I did was wrong.
