Q: Can you please advise if a female is allowed to give quraan imtihaan to a Moulana from behind a veil. Generally we have Moulana's taking imtihaan in our maktab madrasahs and to accommodate the girl students who have reached the age of puberty we provide a place where they can sit and be tested on their Quraan from behind a curtain. However the Moulana's cannot see the girls at all but only listen to them reading the Quraan. Is this permissible?
Q: I have been listening since childhood that no matter what, we have to respect our mothers. But what if the mother is characterless? My mother secretly met a man and had very dangerous plans with eloping with him. I somehow came to know this and informed my father. My father spoke to her but she is not willing to stay back and marry the other man. How can I respect such a mother? She has no affection towards her children also. I have been suffering a lot past few months. Please guide me.
Q: I do not understand a hadeeth which appears in Abu Dawood. It reads as follows:
من نصر قومه على غير الحق فهو كالبعير الذي ردي فهو ينزع بذنبه
1. Please explain the meaning of the hadeeth.
2. What is the meaning of ''helping his people unjustly''. Could you give an example.

Q: Sometimes when I am lying in bed with my wife, I feel some drops come out without getting an erection. And after about 15 minutes the stain from these drops goes away. I am not sure what these drops are; water, pee, etc. Does this require me to do ghusl or just clean the area and do wudhu before praying?
Q: I leak pre seminal liquid very often. I was told I am a mazoor and just to make fresh wudu for every fardh salaah. My question is I also leak urine quite a few times. Does the same rule of mazoor apply? Or should I take precaution and repeat that salaah? What if that salaah time has gone?
