Q: I am a doctor. I studied MBBS by choice and later done MD in medicine. My parents asked me my choice of doing MD medicine. I got MD medicine seat by giving money to management. My University is autonomous and have their own entrance exam. They only select students for particular degrees on the basis of donation money students have given them. Selection is not on merit. In similar way I got admission in MD medicine.

I was happy at first but later I had thoughts that it is non Islamic. I said to my parents that I want to quit as a lot of money for my degree was given so I was forced to complete my 3 years of residency in medicine.

Apart from religious thoughts, the reason for my wish to quit the degree was, I was unable to handle the pressure of continuous 48-72 hrs work. I came back home and was adamant for quitting my studies and stayed for about 9 months. This problem was taken before management and I was given concession of 12 hrs daily work.

In this way I completed my 3 years residency. Till then I was very depressed and was on antidepressants for nearly 2 years, and my wish to study further also vanished. I was given a passing degree without studying by giving money to management.

I feel I have knowledge more than MBBS but less than MD as I treated patients entirely over 3 years of residency. Is it halaal for me to continue my carrier in medicine as a job or as a private practitioner?

Kindly take note that I have a family with one child and I don't have any other qualifications for my survival. My parents don't want me to work as a MBBS doctor as my marriage was done by saying that I was doing MD medicine. If I do so, it is likely that it may cause a rift in my family. I'm not doing any job or earning since 2 years as I don't feel it halaal and my family and parents are not convinced on my job based on MBBS degree.

Q: In Bahishti Zewar, there are many masaail that speak about a husband who can have sexual intercourse with a minor. There was 1 certain masa'ala that (if a husband has sexual intercourse with a minor where there is a fear of her vaginal tissues coming together then ghusl is not fard upon her pg. 74 quoted briefly).

Mas'ala was quite graphic and gave me a headache just by thinking about it. My question is, won't that be considered as paedophilia. Does Islam really allow having intercourse with minors. If not then why are these masaail mentioned in Fiqhi books. Your detailed explanation will highly be appreciated.

Q: I live in a small village. In my village there are two masjids, one belongs to Ahal Hadeees, who follow Imaam Shaafi and the other belongs to Hanafi's (who follow Imaam Abu Hanifah).

When azaan starts in one masjid, the other will be starting prayers as they have completed azaan few minutes early. So in this system of prayers, the one azaan in any of two mosque is not given the heed that we are supposed to. So I would like to hear from you, is it wrong or not.
