Q: I wanted to ask for a fatwah on a topic related to Halloween. Universal studios theme park hosts an event called horror nights during the month of October. The theme park stays open after it’s normal operating times and has its rides open with scary themed characters that scare the people attending.

The price for the ticket is a little less than the day park ticket and is not used or donated for anything other than park profit. Would it be haraam to go to horror nights?

Q: Should someone accept their son’s illegals child and child’s mother. The son’s point of view that he is responsible of his deeds. Our point of view is that we will never accept the child and his mom as she is not his legal wife so only this behalf that she is child’s mother we can’t accept. We think that if we will accept them then we will part of his haraam action. Are we right or wrong?

Q: We've been affected by sihr and bad eyes for years and its been just over 5 weeks that I am reciting Surah Baqarah weekly in our house... The house is huge so I recite sometimes from the rooms and sometimes central.

What I've noticed is strange.. Cupboards are just starting to break, I feel dizzy and sick with terrible aches. My husband cannot stay alone, he feels jinn presence. I always hear these cupboards shut in almost every bedroom every night and I take it these jinns are there whilst we are sleeping.

We've tried everything from a learned aalim treatments; spraying water to playing the adhaan recorder. What else can I do and why is this still happening? Please advise further.

Is it permissible for a Muslim to eat from these sweets, chocolates, biscuits, etc.?
