Q: I am a forty year old women. Married for 21 years. My husband is involved with a women. I had caught him several times doing heinous activities. I have always tried to conceal and believe his fake clearances. I offer five times salah. I learn and teach Quran. I had always been far from any heinous acts. Now that he has lost his interest in me. I have read in Qur'an somewhere that good man for good women and sinful man for sinful women. Does this mean that I am also sinful? Or do some other sin so that I am paired with this man? I have four daughters. My husband shouts aloud in the house so that no one dares to discuss his evil activities. I don't know what shall I do. Every next day of my life seems more miserable. Please help me out and pray for me. If there is any wazifa in this regard, please let me know.

Q: If a person has sexual thoughts in his dream but upon waking up cannot see any form of impurity nor feel any kind of wetness nor does he with certainty remember ejaculating whilst asleep, would this mean that the person does not need to do a ghusl and that he is still in a 'paak' state?

Q: I am from India. Since I am feeling helpless in life these days I consulted a mufti. He says I am suffering through black magic. Should I believe him? I probably mean do muftis lie?

Q: I am in great dilemma and I want to seek a proper advice in the light of Islam and hadeeths from you. My question is I am in love with a women whom I consider good in her religion character and conduct who actually is my fathers sisters daughters daughter however the problem is my father is not in good terms with the rest of the family and the relationships between his siblings have worsened over the years and because of relationships going bad he is reluctant in getting me married to her we have been in a relationship and agreed to not to come in any forms of contact until we legalise this relationship the Islamic way and in accordance to the sunnah. I want to convince my parents for this relationship as I consider and rely upon Allah that this relationship holds the capability of being advantageous to Islam. I request you to kindly advise me on this as to how to convince my parents and correct me if my approach is wrong.

Q: My wife wants to stay at her sister's residence for a couple of nights alone. However, the husband of her sister, although her first cousin, is not a mahram and therefore it is not permissible for my wife to stay there because he will be around. There is no other mahram in that house. All three of them know very well that it is not permissible but my wife is rebellious. Her sister and her sister's cousin husband pray regularly and fast regularly but when it comes to such matters, they throw islamic injunctions away and never guide my wife but assist her in her rebellious ways. Now, even in Western countries, it would be unusual for a woman to be staying without her husband a night at her sister's with the sister's husband around. Nothing reasonable has helped guide my wife and her blood relations away from creating problems in many matters, even prayers for their guidance so far. So, what should I do in this situation? Should I also pray against her blood relations because their injustice and interference is growing and is causing deep problems? (Is it possible for you to reply to me soon because my wife plans to go there tomorrow?) Thank you.

Q: I went to a haafiz who is very well known to be able to find out if anyone is possessed. I have been having problems with my wife for a long time and been separated for around nine months. He had asked for a picture of me and my wife which I sent. He has said to me by looking at the picture all the things that my wife has been doing and all the things that have been happening in my marriage. He also knew what my wife had done to me as in mentally draining he also said a few thing about my mother in-law trying to break my marriage which was also right. He has advised me to leave her as he only sees destruction for me as my wife will never change and that her mother has corrupted her. I am not sure what to make of this. Should I follow what he is saying or not? He is very well known to be accurate and I believe its called muraqaba that is what he may have done but he knew a lot of information about my marriage by just looking at my and my wife's photos and our names and address. I need help as I am not sure what to do. Should I leave my wife or not?

Q: My daughter got a marriage proposal from a boy. My daughter is doing 3rd year aalima course at a local madressa and will complete end 2017. This proposal now came and she said she can only marry after completing her aalima studies in 2017. Due to pressure from boys side to marry earlier and after speaking to her family and friends. She gave in and accepted the proposal on condition that she could complete her 3rd year studies which ends in December 2015. Now a problem arose and the boys side are pressurising her to marry in 3 weeks time and they said she has to obey as its haraam if she doesn't marry immediately. We, the girls parents, family are siding with her to marry end 2015 when her madressa closes. What do we do in this situation. She is not mentally ready to marry now as she only intended marrying after completing aalima course in 2017. So now the proposal came and after excepting she will marry end 2015 the boys side wants to marry in three weeks time. They say its not permissible to wait till end of 2015. Please advise as we are in a dilemma.

Q: I married in 2000, having son and daughters. I love my life and wife but before two months I checked her email and found that she is in relationship with another person. She said that it was just attachment not love and she applogised. I forgave her but two days before I again found that she is still in relation with the same person and now she swore on quran that she will never meet and call him. She said that he gave gifts to her in this 1.75 years relationship and he wants to take take them back from her, therefore she talked with him now. But now on quran she said that she do not want him, she only want to live with me and my childrens. I am completely broken now and confused what to do? I therefore ask you to help me.
