Q: Please can you clarify for me. There is a masjid/classrooms/ladies namaaz area in one building. The masjid-mens namaaz area is on the first floor. The wuzu khanaa, classrooms and ladies namaaz area downstairs. The classrooms are used for namaaz when there is an overflow of males. The ladies area has a separate entrance door to that for the men and classrooms.

In some peoples mind, the ladies area does not form part of the masjid. They call it rooms. So they say, the ladies are not going to the masjid. Is this thinking correct? Can the ladies go to the masjid/rooms to make namaaz? Can the ladies read namaaz behind an Imam in Jamaat? Can the ladies go to the masjid/rooms to read namaaz but not in Jamaat? Can the ladies go to the masjid/rooms to read Taraweeh salaat in Jamaat? Can the ladies go to the masjid/rooms to listen to lectures? Can the ladies go to the masjid/rooms for a nikah? Can the Bride go to the masjid for her nikah but being in the ladies section? 

Are Ladies permitted to go to the masjid for any reason whatsoever?

Can the ladies go for Eid Namaaz to an Eid Ghah?

Please advise.

Q: What does the hanafi mazhab say about beggars in the street who make begging their profession?

Q: 

1. The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said something to this effect: Be careful! Those who were before you, used to transform the graves of their prophets and pious people in places of worship, beware of transforming tombs as places of worship. I forbid you this. (Saheeh Muslim) Please give me the page number.
2. The Surah tabarakallazi said to Allah Ta’ala: “Remove me from your book if you did not forgive him”. Is there any Hadith something to this effect from the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?
3. Please mention those Ahaadith which show the virtue of dying in either Makkah or Madinah.
4. There is a Hadith in Saheeh Bukhaari which mentions the Du’a of Umar (Radiyallahu Anhu) to die as a martyr in the town of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Please give me the page number.

Q: Are men allowed to have embroidery on their clothes? Even little bit embroidery around the neck of the kurta/shirts. I understand heavy and lot of embroidery is a women thing and must be avoided but nowadays we find kurtas/and shirts with little bit work around neck, should it be worn by men or should the garments of the men be plain?

Secondly, it is in a Hadith not to copy non-Muslims. Nowadays Muslim men wear pants and shirts which I think is a western originated dress. You are treated as a weird person if you don't wear, so what should be the ruling about it?

Thirdly, I read somewhere that men should also not wear tight clothes, is it true? Then pants are fitted garments?

Fourthly I also read that men should also not dress up in a way that attracts the opposite sex. 

Please guide me how much of the above information is correct or not. And what should be the ruling about the other questions I asked?

Q: Durood, Salaat & Salaam, do all these terms mean the same thing or do they all have different meanings?

Q: My husband and I both work and pay bills together. I feel that because I work as well he should be helping me with housework. I do the cooking and taking care of the kitchen and laundry and most of the ironing. It's just the cleaning the I need help with most times. And sometimes I want him to do his own ironing. What is the ruling in that? He seems to think it is a wife's duty to do all that work and I'm not fulfilling it. Is he right?

Q: I'm currently 7 months pregnant and keeping my qadha fasts. Yesterday I unintentionally broke my fast 1 minute early thinking that was the correct time of ifthar. I realised later in the evening that it was a minute early. What do I do?

Q: If one is in a mosque and the person that leads the prayer makes masah over regular socks. Now is this reason for one beforehand that one should not pray behind him (as normally people wash their feet in the morning and then wipe for the salaah thereafter), or is it essential that one must have seen him wiping before that actual prayer? 

Q: Someone said that tashahhud is not required in witr salaah. Is it correct?

Q:

1. If we have to spit we are ordered to spit on the left side but we are also ordered not to spit in the direction of qiblah. What is the ruling when we are walking and the qiblah is to our left? Can we spit to the left in that case?
2. How to spit in a place where we don't know the direction of the qibla. Can we spit to the left in that case?
