Q: Yesterday I repented to Allah for staring at women, and promised Him that I would never look at women lustfully ever again. However, while making the promise, I did not realize that 'women' in general would also include my wife! Does this mean that from now on I should not even look at my wife with lust?
Q: My father in law is very sick, and he wants to retire from work, he wants to make up his will now because he will need major surgery soon, he wants to give my mother in law 50% and my husband 50% of his provident fund and of his house. He had three sons, two of his elder sons passed away, and my husband is the only surviving child. Both deceased sons have a 1 daughter each, they both married non-Muslim girls and when they passed away their wives went back to their religion and also changed the children. My in laws have no access to the children, and only visit them when their mothers allow them too. My question is, do these children also get a share in my father in laws will as their fathers were also heirs. Please advise what is the sharia compliant share for all these heirs, as we do not want him to be answerable for making an incorrect Islamic will.
س: الماء الذي قد تم استعماله للوضوء أو الغسل -هل يجوز استعماله مرة ثانية للوضوء أو الغسل، إن كان ذلك الماء نظيفاً بعد النظر؟ و إن كان الجواب في ذلك أنه لا يجوز، كيف الحكم في الحالة التالية: لو اختلط الماء الذي قد تم استعماله للوضوء أو الغسل - بالماء غير المستعمل ( و لكن اختلط بالقليل، يعني الماء المستعمل اختلط قليلاً بالماء غير المستعمل) - ذلك الماء المختلط - هل يجوز الوضوء و الغسل به؟ و إن وقع الوضوء أو الغسل بذلك الماء المختلط - هل هما صحيحان (الوضوء و الغسل)؟ مع علم أن قدر الماء المستعمل قليل جداً في الماء المختلط، و هو نظيف بعد النظر؟

Q: I have a serious problem with waswasa about talaq. this has turned into a mental problem like obsesive compulsive disorder where these thoughts keep playing in my mind and sometimes I think I say it on my own in my mind. I have no control over it. Numerous muftis have told me that talaq has to be verbal for it to be valid. After getting fatwas from muftis then I get these thoughts that maybe the mufti did not understand or did not hear the question correctly etc and I go into a state of depression. This is really affecting me. Whether I'm doing good or bad I get these thoughts. I am in constant fear of talaq. Its like almost always playing in my head. My question is (1) as I said this has become a mental problem and because of this I sometimes say things in my MIND ONLY which may not be waswasa but because of this mental problem that I have developed like egs: if I'm on the internet I say in my mind "if I click on a certain link its talaq". Then I just ignore what I said in my mind and click on the link and carry on with whatever I'm doing. Does any talaq take place like this? I was told by other muftis that no talaq takes place. Please advice. This waswasa is really affecting me. I love my wife a lot. May Allah bless our marriage ameen.
