Revoking a talaaq within the iddat period

Q: I am currently in iddat after my husband gave me 1 divorce (19/05/22).

He is messaging me that he wants a ruju but the Mufti Saheb I spoke to from our sharia council said that a ruju will not take place like this and I should just continue observing my iddat.

I feel that the Mufti Saheb knows our matters in detail hence this is why he prefers for me to just complete the iddat period.

I just want to know whether I should continue my iddat or just stop as my husband has said that he wants ruju over a text message?

Slaughtering exotic animals whose meat is of an inferior quality for qurbaani

Q: I wanted to find out with regards to the size and type of animal for qurbaani. Every year in our house we slaughter lambs (good quality, lovely animals) however in the recent years some family members have been saying that we should get exotic animals, most of these are just for the looks and alot of the time the meat is of an inferior quality.

I wanted to know is there any extra thawaab with regards to slaughtering a bigger/stronger/exotic animal in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala.

Doing a blood test during the first ten days of Zul Hijjah

Q: I have a question regarding the first ten days of Zul Hijjah.
