Q: There is a genuine problem and for that I need a genuine advice. My father separated from my mother when I was just 5. Since then my mother had been there to support me. Now this is the time I should support her as this is my sole responsibility. Since I have completed my BBA in finance, I am getting offers from some banks but I am not willing to do job there because I got involved in Islam few months back. Before that I was not in to it in any way. There is no source of income as I just do free lancing and everyone is pressurising me to do job where I have only one option for doing a job i.e. in bank since I have applied at different places but the qualification requirement is MBA which I will be starting in a month or so. My mother, sister and everyone linked to us taunts me for not paying attention to such ongoing circumstances of my family. I am just worried if my mother could get some heart problem for getting tensed on not supporting her. However I have tried to explain her several times that working in a conventional bank is not an appropriate thing to do. But no body is listening to me. Please assist me for what should I do. However I had to do my job for sometime like for an year to gain some work experience so that I can get a better and halal job after gaining some experience. I hope you will assist me for no body is there to provide me a genuine answer. Jazak Allah

Q: For Fardh and Wajib Salaahs:

1. Is it necessary to state the number of rakaats you are praying? i.e I am praying 3 rakaats maghrib, 2 rakaat fajr etc
2. Is it sufficient to just state the salaah i.e I am praying Fajr ,Maghrib etc?

Q: If a person did not know the fardhs of ghusl for years and would just take a shower when needed ghusl, and he may have gargled mouth and blew nose in the shower but don't know 100%, will the salaah, saum etc of all these years have to be repeated?

Q: A woman leaves home whilst in iddah, does the sin go to the deceased husband?

Q: Is products (like beauty creams) that are highly probable to have haram animal constituents considered najas? 

Q: The women in our area have this notion that during haidh nifaas they are not allowed to do ghusl with water, moreover they are not allowed to bath during these periods. They say that if they do so they will become ill. Also they do not drink cold water. I understand that bathing and doing ghusl will not not get rid of impurity during these periods but is it true that they are not allowed to use water to clean private parts and/or bath. Please expand on  this topic maybe highlighting the shariah and hikmat perspectives on this issue. Jazakallah
