Q: I signed a contract for work. I didn't want to, but I didn't want to have any problems because I want to work this halaal job. At the bottom, it states, "I acknowledge receipt of this summary and the attached contract of employment. I accept the terms of my contract of employment. I have also received and read a copy of the Employee Handbook and I accept the rules, policies and procedures set in it." I signed it and the Employee Handbook is exhaustive to read (I did read it) and I am having problems with my conscience because I take my word seriously and I want to know that if I failed in some of the rules is this taken as me "lying" or what does it mean? Or does it just mean that I am liable for my failures?

Q: I have a problem from many months like when I sleep at night, I wake up shouting as if I have seen something near the place where I sleep. I literally see someone sitting where my feet ends or a face in the wall and scream out of fear and wake up shouting and this happens usually after 5 a.m in India and sometimes it happens like I am not able to move my hands, legs and head and cannot speak. Even after trying to move with all my strength or trying to shout at the top of my voice. I find it hard to breath and at that point if someone just touches me, i wake up then its a relief for me like I survived death and this happens early morning and when I am sleeping straight. I always sleep after reciting surah fatiha then ayatal kursi then 3 times surah ikhlaas surah falak and surah naas then one time surah kafiroon surah takasur and surah kausar then dua for sleeping then 21 times bismillah and one dua is like ﺑِﺴْﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻱ ﻟَﺎ ﻳَﻀُﺮُّ ﻣَﻊَ ﺍﺳْﻤِﻪِ ﺷَﻲْﺀٌ ﻓِﻲ ﺍﻟْﺄَﺭْﺽِ ﻭَﻟَﺎ ﻓِﻲ ﺍﻟﺴَّﻤَﺎﺀِ ﻭَﻫُﻮَ ﺍﻟﺴَّﻤِﻴﻊُ ﺍﻟْﻌَﻠِﻴﻢُ and then the 1st kalima and then I sleep either on my left or right but still I wake up out of fear dreams. Even if I sleep very late at night, I will still be awake at the same time. What should I do?

Q: My son applied for a job as a facility manager in a habiba bank London where we live. He had an interview and now he has been offered a job. He did ask them about income.

Q: My elder brother is involved in a relationship with a girl and my parents and family are completely against his views. The girl is divorced and now she is in a relationship with my brother. Girl is 7 years elder to my brother! My brother is completely out of his mind and he even wants to go againt my parents and willing to marry her and planning for nikaah with her! My parents completely tried to convince him but its going to be useless! There is nothing left to convince him now. So in this situation if we take the help of black magic so will it be haraam? Like completely make that girl to forget my brother or completely making my brother to forget her by the help of black magic so will it be haraam? Because in any manner we don't want to commit anything which is haraam! But other than that there is no other way left as we are loosing him. He agrees to go againt my parents and wants to make nikaah with that girl!

Q: I realized that I was reading surah Ikhlas pausing in letter Mim (everywhere where it has sukun in this surah) in last ayats making it as double letter – shadda. Does it change the meaning?

Could you please also let me know, is it true that kaza of sunna of fajr cant be made in a fajr time, but has to be made any other time after fajr?
