Q: I agreed to abstain from a particular website by someone I have to listen to in good and I have abstained for a lengthy period. But now I remember that I have at-least one post that is based on what I heard is a weak hadeeth and I do not want to leave it there, for someone to potentially be influenced by it and I also want to go through my posts for anything wrong within them, is this acceptable for me, knowing what I've agreed?
Q: I am a sister from Karachi, Pakistan. I want a solution for my sister. She is bipolar and she is not practising Deen the way our family is. She is involved in someone who is not of or religion. She does not control her anger and will also attempt suicide, if the guy leaves her. She also talks to many other guys and her friend circle is also very modern. She can go to any extent (which is what I fear). My grandfather was a mufti and my family is very pious. If her mobile or any source of contact is taken she attempts suicide, which shows she is addicted. We have tried every possible thing being polite to her, beating her up but nothing works. We did a 41 days wazifa of surah baqarah for her but it doesn't seem to work much. Please give me a proper solution as to how shall I bring her to the right track. Give me any wazeefa if there is.

Q: In the mastooraat programmes of the tabligh jamaat, some usools are, that ladies are:
1) Not allowed to give bayaan. Only speak a straightforward 6 points following the tarteeb without making it flowery and giving their own input.
2) Not allowed to sit on a chair and read the kitaab or speak the 6 points. To the extent that if a lady is elderly and normally sits on a chair then too she must sit on the floor otherwise she mustn't read.
I would like to know the basis of these usools if mufti can explain, the reasons ladies can't give bayaans, nor sit on the chair?
Q: I am a very doubtful person and in my kitchen I have printed a paper with the before and after food dua so my family and myself remember to read it. This morning when I went to go eat breakfast I was sitting at the table when my sister walked by and said the paper with the dua is on the floor near my seat so she picked it up and put it back on the wall. I didn't remember seeing the paper when I went to sit down so I don't think I stepped on it but now I can't stop thinking what if I did. It may have fallen after I sat down because i can't remember seeing it when I went to go sit down but I am a very doubtful person and now I don't know what to do? Will I be severely punished for my actions. I didn't mean for it to fall or not to pick it up or step on it. I'm not even sure if I did because I think it might have fallen after I sat down but now I can't stop thinking about it. What do I do? I am usually very careful with stuff that has Qur'an words on it to only touch when I am clean and now I don't know what to do? I keep doubting myself what if I stepped on it without noticing? What can I do now?
Q: Does reading ones lips in a video count as eavesdropping?
