Accepting one's mistakes

Q: I am nowadays in financial crisis and have to pay a lot of debts. I am a Muslim but yes i admit that I have made a lot of sins and mistakes that I did not pray 5 times, now when I am in crisis I realised that it is all because I was gaafil from Allah. But now when I want to start salaah again with pure heart my friends says "If you are in trouble and you remember Allah it means you are in trouble" is it wrong if you realize your mistakes and you want to go to Almighty Allah?

Not knowing one's zakaat date

Q: A person doesn't know which date his "haul"-date for paying zakat is, and he must thus choose any date of the year. Which date is the ideal to chose? Am I reasoning correctly by choosing the 27th of Ramadhaan, due to the high probability of lailatul-qadr falling on that day, hoping to multiply my reward for giving zakat on this particular day?

Drinking water with meals

Q: I know the sunnah of drinking water but would like to know the sunnah etiquettes of drinking water when partaking in a meal. Many say we should not drink whilst we are eating some say drink 1 hour before and after eating others say that it is sunnah to drink water in the middle of meal. Please can mufti saab please advise according to hadith?

Dream

Q: 

  1. Today I had a dream that my mum and me are going somewhere and there is a graveyard on the way. My mum says she wants to recite Surah faatiha on someone's grave and we enter the graveyard. Mum recites faatiha and I recited surah fatiha and surah ikhlas on the grave and then put some flowers on the grave. What does it mean?
  2. I want to ask what does it mean to see yourself as a bride in a dream?

Waswasas with regards to ghusal

Q: I am suffering from so much waswasas. I can't handle it I think I am always napaak. When I perform ghusl after I think I having done it right I don't know if all the hairs have got wet on the body. Could you explain to me a way that you would do it so every hair on the body gets wet so the ghusl counts because I think all my salaahs are not getting counted as well and this is really getting to me. It's on my head 24 hours a day I keep having a shower like 3/2 times a day because I think every time I do ghusl its not correct. I need your help
