Q: I know masah can be permitted on socks made of leather. Suede is also Leather. I would assume it is permissible to be used for masah however there is one thing that I need clarification on before I start using it for masah purposes. The issue is that suede is not entirely waterproof. Water will eventually seep through if it becomes wet for more than 15 minutes. But I don't know if that matters as it is 100% leather. My question is can fully suede socks be used for masah purposes?
Q: My parents and the girls parents have totally agreed that they will do our nikaah but due to some reasons it got delayed. The girl and I have also agreed for this relation.

Q: It has been three years since everything in my life has been going wrong and this point in my life is the most toughest. I have had to give my last born daughter 4 years to a madressah for two weeks to try and find a job and I have tried. I have used every single cent I could lay my hands on trying to find a job and I have come up with nothing. At this point I don't even have R6 for bread and I need to fetch my daughter at the end of this week. I feel very suffocated right now. I feel that I am a failure. What kind of a mother can't be there for her children. I have done everything I can for my children and now I'm not sure why but I do feel that I am loosing this battle and I need duas and advice as much as possible. All I ask for is to be able to provide for my children. Is that too much to ask for? I can't leave my baby there any longer and I don't think I can feed her when I do bring her.
