Q: My daughter wants to marry a white non-Muslim guy. We have tried a lot to inform her about this sin but she is not listening to anyone and is very stubborn on her decision. The current situation is that she is being very nice with us, but once we try to talk her about him, she gets extremely upset and changes her attitude. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Q: My question is regarding divorce. My daughter wants to get married to her cousin but my husband is completely against it. Last year he said in anger that if they do nikaah, our nikaah will be broken. Now he has realised he should not have said that and has said that that statement does not count anymore. If my daughter gets married to this boy will our nikah still be broken or is there a way out?
Q: I am very troubled. My husband's Iman is already weak. Once a month we travel to Johannesburg so that I can visit my parents. My husband's parents have a flat here in jhb so we stay there. I have noticed now that in the flat that was furnished buy our in-laws that there is a frame with "Assalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatu" writtn in arabic. Its hanging in our kitchen. The thing is the kitchen and lounge is all in one, like its bascially 1 room. And my husband watches tv in the lounge. So basically the frame is exposed to the tv and the frame obviously has Allahs name on it. Its not my flat so I can't remove it. And A am afraid to tell my husband incase he says im just being parinode and wont listen. Which would be worse because now I think he doesn't notice. What should I do?

Q: A close relative passed away about six weeks ago. He was buried in a grave allocated by the burial service and administrators of the grave yard. I was recently approached by a friend and was told that it was a private grave which was paid for by their family and I was asked if it was possible to move the marhooms body to another grave. I find this very difficult. Please advise urgently.
