Q: I'm a male who recently joined a gym, but was ignorant to the fitnah prevalent. There are men who walk around completely naked in the change rooms and with shorts when working out (satr exposed), music blasting from speakers, and women walking around shamelessly. To avoid many of these vices there are some precautions I can take:

1. Avoid entering change rooms (however I can still see their satr outside the change rooms)

2. Use earphones to avoid the music (or at least blur it out)

3. Go at times when it is quiet (however I haven't been able to find a time where it is completely empty).

Although taking these precautions, I still feel in my heart that I am being disobedient to Allah Ta'ala and it would be better to cancel my membership.

N.B. I can take up running or jogging, but I do not have any proper equipment to tone my body (the equipment is expensive), and I have not come across any male only gyms in my locality.

1. 'The one who adds to the numbers of a people is counted as among them, and the one who is pleased with the wrong of a people will be regarded as a partner in their actions.' (Ithaaful Khiyaratil Maharah #3297) 
By going to the gym, will I be counted as among the disobedient?

2. Am I correct in saying the gym is a place of disobedience?

3. Should I cancel my membership and find other ways of doing exercise?

4. If I accidentally look or hear something impermissible, then would I be blameworthy for going to a place like this?

5. Does Mufti saheb have any advice or suggestions?

Q: Is it permissible for non-mahram males and females to interact freely and casually among themselves? Could you give some advice on this issue and inform us of what appears in the Qur'aan and Ahaadith in this regard?

Q: Discovery have come out with a “shariah” compliant medical aid scheme.

Is this permissible?

Q: I have been for hajj in 1989 when I was 29 years old and wish to go again now that I am 63. In principle, is this encouraged or am I seen to be depriving someone else who has not been for hajj the opportunity of going for hajj?

Q: At 6pm I feed my family. My husband comes late so he eats at 8pm earliest. I try to have my kitchen clean by the time I go to bed at 9pm or 10pm. I check on my husband. We sleep seperate (not ideal but it is what it is). I say goodnight to him and I go to my bed.

Sometimes he tells me that I am not allowed to go to sleep unless he gives me permission to go sleep? Am I disobedient if I go sleep?

This statement makes me feel like a slave and not like a wife.

Is this the level of obedience a wife must give to seek permission for basic human needs?

Q: My husband manipulated my sister and got married to my sister without giving me a divorce. When my sister got to know that their marriage is not valid after a year, she got married to another man. That man left my sister beacuse he thought she did nikah on nikah, but that was not the case.

Q: I live in Europe and I need some money and there is no one to help me. The bank is ready to give me a loan but they want it back with interest. For example, if I get 5000, I have to return 5500 in two years. I know it is not halaal, is there any way to make the amount halaal for me?

Q: Is it halaal to earn with online games?

Q: Can I eat herbs and natural medicines for white hairs at a young age or I should leave it as is?

Q: Can women offer salaah in kameez shalwar with hijab or is it mandatory to put on an abaya till the feet? When I say kameez shalwar, I mean the one which is loose and not body revealing.
