Q: I have a skin condition on my face which I am suffering from for +/- 10 years. I have tried various treatments but the success is very short. I was told about a natural medication which I researched with good results. I completed 10 days of the course (so far good) before learning that the capsules are made from bovine gelatin. Is it possible to continue the medication? I do not wish to consume something that is not lawful and at the same time I want a cure to my skin condition.
Q: I am really worried with a problem which is very big for me right now. This mail may be big. But for Allah's sake, help me. I asked you a question a few years back regarding my husband taking his office colleague in his car to jummah salaat and dropping her at her home. This was without my knowledge. You said it is not allowed. I've shown the mail to him. The woman and my husband decided not travel. Now again after all this time, I am a mother of 3 boys aged 6 5 and 1 year. I am a stay at home mother. As a wife I fulfill every duty and responsibility of mine to the fullest and as a mother also. My husband and I had a fight over his picking up a neighbor from the Hindu community from his office. I asked him to stop it and he agreed, Promised me. Then two years later I found on his phone a few whatsapp messages saying you are beautiful and some more than friendly chat of whatsapp messages with smiles and lol's. He is 37 now and the girl is maybe 25. He was loving me a lot. Literally he and I shared a very special bond. I felt blessed that Allah has given me a loving and caring husband and three beautiful kids. My family was perfect. Suddenly this girl comes. I asked him to stop taking her in his car as I feel possessive in these things. I don't want another woman to sit in the front seat. He hit me back then. I was pregnant with my 3rd baby. Then he realized and said sorry. I was kept in the dark all this time. He was cheating behind my back. He says he was only friendly with her. Picking her up. Dropping her at home. But why do this without my knowledge. Now he hits me a lot. Says he can leave me (divorce) anytime if I make a fuss out of it. What should I do. I feel lost, suicidal. But I care for my kids. I don't want to hurt them. If something happens to me. They will be left alone in this world. I was hospitalized with all this shock. My BP thyroid sugar levels are high now. I can't bear this anymore. Please help me.
Q: We are three children among whom, my elder brother is the adopted one. Only me and my younger sister are from our parents. For my father there was no inheritance property from his father i.e., my grand father. What ever he earned is his Alhamdulillah and the whole property was in my mother's name. Few years back my father died suddenly. We have one house and two lands. As per my knowledge he wants to give that house to me and land to distribute among my brother and sister. Few years back my mother also died. Initially she wanted to give that house to me. But as there is pressure from my brother's side, she wants to give 50% share to my brother, with which I was not happy. She told me to write that she wants to give 50% of house and one land to me and brother and one land and some jewellery and amount to my sister. After her death the house was taken by me and one land by my brother and one land to my sister and some jewellery and money was distributed among us. What I want to know is:
1. While distributing the property the money which was spent to on my brother's (who is adopted) studies his marriage and my sister's marriage and studies and marriage (which is less compared to my brother and sisters) will also be counted?
2. House was taken by me and one land too and Rs. 300000.00 by my brother and one land and small jewellery by my sister. House cost almost 3 to 4 times of each land. Is this correct?
Q: How do we handle differences of opinion, what should be done in the following scenario: If I'm ordering a takeaway and I order like a chicken curry and the other person wants a prawn curry, is it haram for me to order it when they believe it's halal? Is it also wrong to pass them the prawn curry? Also if someone follows the opinion that commercial vinegar is haram (when it's changed purposely) is it wrong for them to ask for condiments for other person on their food (like mayonnaise on a burger, when mayonnaise, ketchup etc. usually contains vinegar)? Please explain how we should deal with the situations like above. Do you refuse to order prawns which may cause hostility? (I don't mind hostility if it's the correct thing to do!) Thank you.
