Q: I am a 19 year old male and currently studying Aalim course. A few years ago I had touched my mother with lust and I have finished reading the conditions through which hurmate-e-musaaharah will take place (i.e. if she had a cloth on which was thick and the heat of the body could be felt, etc). However I'm not so sure if the conditions took place or not because of it being a while ago however I have Ghaalib-e-Gumaan that the conditions took place. Is there any way out for me? Do I have to confess? Will Allah Ta'ala forgive me for this despicable sin even if I don't confess?

Q: I have lead a congregation with no wudu intentionally. I cannot inform the people because it was on a holiday when I was overseas. What must I do? Will Allah forgive me?

Q: I am a teenager and my problem is that my maternal aunt doesn't love me. She loves my other cousins. She cares for them and shows affection towards them but she has no feelings for me. She shows little or no affection towards me. She does not like to talk to me. She gets annoyed if I sit beside her. I know that my maternal aunt has the same status as my mother and I try to uphold the ties of kinship but I feel so embarrassed by her behaviour. Please tell me what to do.

Q: I have a white friend or client. He told me another white friend of his, told him that in our Quran it is stated that other religions are classed as infidels.

Q: Please explain the procedure of stepping forward to fill in a gap in the saff in front. Because beheshti zewar mentions to step past the sajdah position breaks the Salaah.
