Q: I am a haafizah and read my dhor in my salah. I find it a bit difficult when reading my dhor soflty in salah. Is it allowed for me to recite my Quran loudly (while no one can hear me as I read within the confinement of my room) in salah? My dhor isn't very strong that's why I'm finding it a bit difficult and when reading in this way it makes it easier.

Q: I am a woman and need to earn money. I have developed an online course that will not reveal my face but I need to record my voice explaining the content, and I cannot limit the course to only women (there is no way to do this on the online course platform). Though people will hear my voice, no one will know me. Is this halal?

I may also be able to use a software to change the pitch of my voice slightly (lower the pitch of my voice). Is this better?

Q: We have a situation where a family member has married a Christian woman. He claims that she is a proper Christian therefore he made nikaah with her. Is it permissible for a Muslim male to marry a Christian woman in today's time?

According to my understanding, today most Christians are only Christians by name. They are not the Ahle Kitaab or like the Christians of former times. They don't know anything about their Christianity religion nor do they take their religion seriously. They don't go to church nor read their bible. They have become fully westernized and have accepted all the theories of the scientists like evolution, Dawin's theory, the big bang, etc.

Based on the above, my question is, is it still permissible to marry their women in today's time?

Q: We had a sale agreement for our property five years ago with a person for 8 million rupees. He paid 2 million rupees in advance, and he promised that he will settle the balance of 6 million rupees after 6 months and complete the registration. However, he was unable to arrange the remaining amount of 6 million rupees. Now we are planning to sell the property to some other person. Therefore, I need to return the 2 million rupees to the person, but since it's been 5 years, he is now demanding more money instead of 2 million rupees. Do we need to pay the extra money?
