Q: There is a developing trait wherein any issue arising in someone's life, people are resorting to Taweez. For example, a child regularly misbehaves or is ill, people are resorting to Taweez, believing that someone has done something to the child. A further example is where couples don't have children or to save oneself from nazar, they are told by family get a Taweez. I recognize that Taweez is permissible but is it correct to utilize it for every perceived or genuine problem with the potential that people subconsciously develop the conviction that Taweez is the remedy for all issues? 

Q: I'm married for eleven years. Recently I caught my husband watching porn. I was very upset because it was the second time. And he knows it's wrong. Recently our intimacy has been very less and I suspected that something was wrong. I told him a lot of hurtful things and at the same time expressed my feelings. The problem now is that I don't feel like having relations with him. I don't even like him to touch me. I feel so used and abused and I know that I will not accept him now knowing what is in his mind when he is with me. I'm so depressed and disappointed. I don't know what to do. Am I allowed to stop sexual contact with him or is this a big sin. And how can I get over this disappointment and go on with my life. Please help because I love my husband and I also hurt him.

Q: I recently came across a Shariah compliant CFD from AngloRand and I am really bemused as to how they can offer that product when clearly they know that it is not Shariah compliant because gearing is involved and this sort of investment a person does not physically own a share in a company that they would enter into a CFD, perhaps Mufti you have heard of this type of CFD and can shed some light.
