Q: Zaid contacts his travel agent on the 1st of Shabaan and obtains a quote to travel for umrah on the 1oth of Ramadaan. He immediately confirms and accepts this quotation of 100 000 but subject to him obtaining an Umrah visa. He may also cancel the booking at any time before 2nd of Ramadaan without any cost. His Zakaat year end is 15 Shabaan. May he deduct this 100 000 as a zakaat liability when calculating his Zakaat?

Q: Is it true if a woman asks her husband to divorce her with no valid reason than she has shook the arsh of Allah or what is the sin for this?
Q: I have read all the questions and answers on this website relating to talaak and Fasakh and the common factor is Intention. My question is, the husband must have intention when pronouncing divorce. What if the husband and wife constantly argue and the husband always tells the wife “I want you out of this house” “leave and never come pack” “I’m taking you back to your parents” "don't come back to this house". Can this be understood as a talaaq? How many times must/can a wife be told these words? Or should she just ignore them simply because the husband did not intend to pronounce divorce?
Q: Our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) split the moon. Why now is the moon splitting us? Is it a warning from Allah or is it that such splits are a normal part of our deen?
Q:
1. As we know, in comparison to all world views and the other Abrahamic religions, we are the Ummatan Wasataa. Jews have strict laws (kosher) but little Ilm, belief and theology whereas Christianity is mainly belief and theology but very little law. According to Islam, did Christianity originally have laws, halaal and haraam and/or is this modern day Christianity wrong and changed in the sense that they claim that all is needed is the belief in Jesus as the lord and saviour?
2. Out of all the faiths and beliefs, including Abrahamic faiths, Judaism is the most closest to Islam. If their theology, belief and creed is most similar to ours (Islam), why is it that they will suffer a more harsh and severe punishment in Jahannum?

Q: I am a 29 years old woman. I never had a fixed cycle since I got baaligh. Sometimes I bleed after 35 days and next time after 2 to 3 months. Sometimes bleeding continue for 4 days and other times for 6 days. I never know when will I bleed. Bleeding always lasts between 3 to 10 days, means it is never less than 3 days and never more than 10 days. After it stops it never comes before 30 days, but may not come sometimes even for 2 to 3 months. During the days when I am bleeding it also happens many times that I bleed for 3 days, then it stops completely for 1 to 2 days and then again few drops will come sometimes during next 2 to 3 days. I had 2 children, first time nifas bleeding continued irregularly for 55 days stopping in between completely for 3-5 days and then starting again. Second time nifas came 4-5 days only and then 1 or 2 drops used to come sometimes in a day for 20-30 days. This 1 or 2 drops was not coming everyday but only once in 3-4 days. Till now what I do is when I see blood I stop doing namaz and roza and when blood stops I bath and do my prayer. In my second nifas after 5-6 days I started praying and I used to bath and continue with prayers after this drop of blood used to come. Kindly advise me what I should do in this situation during haidh and nifas both please regarding salah, saum and intercourse?
