Q:

1. At the time of my marriage my relatives gave me gold ornaments as gifts but my father does not like at all that I receive those gifts. Can I accept those gifts without the consent of my father?

2. If I don't accept those gifts to please my father, can I accept it after my marriage as I will be no more under his responsibility rather I will be under my husband's responsibility?

3. If my father told me that I don't like you accepting those gifts even after your marriage and I agreed to him, can I still accept them after my nikah or not?

Q: I am 32 year old single mum of 2. I'm suffering from Anxiety for about 8 months now. Due to some financial issues I used to get panic attacks too, they have calmed down now but I have health anxiety now and my depression has caused me acid reflux. My acidity is so bad that I get chest pains and it goes up my throat and my nose and ear ache too and I be in immense pain for days. I've been to the GP many times but they prescribe me medication that are full of side effects and I am not keen on them such as antacids and antidepressants. I struggle when I eat anything. It flows back up my throat and I can't stop burping which becomes really embarrassing at times. Even if I drink water, it comes back up. It is really effecting my life. I have tried all kinds of medications and home remedies but nothing has worked. I even start crying as it gets so bad at times. Please can you give me a wazifa or tell me what I can do? Sometimes I feel as though this will stay forever. Shaitan whispers all kinds of things in my ears. Please help. JazakAllah
