Q: I performed nikaah few days back but after some days the witness told my husband that he didn't listen to the nikaah ceremony properly and didn't listen when I said "yes" for the nikaah. He said that during nikaah his mind was deviated from the ceremony and in short he didn't listen to our nikaah and my acceptance. He then advised my husband that he should perform nikaah with me again. So I just want to say that was that nikaah valid or not because the witness denied that he listened to the nikaah.

Q: I purchased a 33.3% share in a property (empty land). I paid the asking price. I decided to return my share to the Muslim brother I purchased from because I did not have additional funds to contribute towards the building. I have not as yet received any refund for my share that I returned. In the process, the Muslim brother has sold my share to somebody else and as payment accepted 2 apartments. These apartments were offered to me as payment. I refused. In the process additional building has started taking place on the property. My question is, do I have a right to take back my share considering that I have as yet not received payment for it? and 1) If no, I understand 2) If yes, at what price must I contribute towards the new building that has been happening. I know I have to contribute a third, but is the Muslim brother allowed to put a mark up on the building or not, considering that I am an equal third partner. (3 partners, muslim brother, his brother and myself.)
