Q: The problem with my mother is 13 years ago she was operated for left side breast cancer. She had undergone chemo 6 cycles and radiotherapy. Now since past 6 months she complained about the pain in her left side chest and drastic weight loss, the pain was excruciating and after multiple diagnosis and biopsy the Doctor's concluded that her breast cancer has re-occurred and spread to the lungs and part of the liver, there is no other symptom other than the pain, fatigue and weight loss. The allopathic Doctors have said that chemo would aggravate the situation and might make her bed ridden, moreover we are not in the favor of allopathic treatment as we have seen her suffering years ago. Hence we approached ayurvedic doctor and to add to my problem he mixed some medicines in cow's urine and prescribed to take on empty stomach. My mother never misses her prayer, recites quran, reads surah baqrah daily and I give her ruqya water on empty stomach. The fact that she has to drink the urine early morning is killing me though she does not know about anything of this. Kindly help. I don't want to go against Allah and his Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and treat my mom. If there is shifa in it I would surely go ahead and give it to my mom. And how can Allah Ta'ala put shifa in such a filth. I have full faith in Allah and hence reluctant to go ahead with the medication.

Q: My friend wanted to start a business of hukkah parlor. Is it permissible or not?

Q: I want to know if it is wrong for the mother of a physically disabled 55 year old male resident in the UK to try to persuade a unknown divorced female with 18 month old daughter in Pakistan to come to the UK on a student visa with intention of marrying the disabled male and to leave her baby daughter behind and forget about her. I am worried that this is morally wrong. Lying about intentions to enter another country and to separate a young baby from her mother when it may or may not be possible for the male to fulfill the rights of a wife in the relationship of marriage. Further more instead of accepting the young baby and offering to care for her and raise her as a family member the mother has said they will never provide anything for her and if female wants her baby daughter to join her in the future she cannot. I am losing sleep over this matter and very concerned that this is very unfair treatment amounting to zulm. Please advise. As far as I know the mother just wants a 'free' housemaid and cleaner for herself and her son although Allah Ta'ala knows best. There is absolutely no need for the mother to worry about her or her disabled son being looked after in the future as she has three other children all married and independent who look after them.
