Q: My father resigned from his job in 2018 and from then he has not been working. It is very hard financially as my mother is a housewife. I do work and contribute to the household occasionally. My father sits at home and doesn't want to work. I am quite upset with this as he is supposed to be the breadwinner. How do I speak to him about this because it's taking a toll on me.

Q:

1. If a person has a slave as his wife and divorces her twice, can she remarry him after her master has relations with her or does she have to remarry?

Q: I reverted to Islam around 2 and a half years ago alhamdulillah but only my mother and a few people know about it and they dont approve at all. I've prayed and made dua for them to finally accept it and allow me to be Muslim but it hasn't worked. I cant pray, read the Quraan, or eat what I'm supposed to so I dont know what to do or how to have Allah to help me.

Does this mean it's not meant to be or am I doing something wrong? Is there a specific dua I can make to get help?

Q: Can an adult granddaughter (daughter of son), massage her grandfather to relieve the pain?

Q: Many people do business and import items from foreign countries. Due to our country charging tax on the items imported, many people get the item invoiced at a lower price in the foreign country so that less tax is paid. I would like to inquire regarding the permissibility and rulings regarding this.

Q: My father wants to declare share of property to his children. We are four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.

According to my father, its 25 percent share for the daughter but according to me its 33 percent.

Now what is concerning him is that we have a big running business and also another small factory (Alhamdulillah) which he started for me and my brother in 2010.

My elder brother is working and supporting him since 2010 and I have joined it in 2016 and now its 2020.

My father thinks that since we have workes and contributed to his running business, we both brothers deserve this business as our part of hard work.

From the rest of the property which my father bought and inherited from his father, it should be equally distributed among the four of us.

Is my father correct if he wants to reward me and my brother for our contribution and for the business which he thinks he started for us?

Q: I would like to know if the following about the virtue of fasting on the 30th of Zul Hijjah and 1st of Muharram are authentic:

“Today is the 30th Zul Hajj which is the last day of the current Islamic year 1441. The reward of fasting on this last day, is forgiveness for all sins committed in the past year. Tomorrow will be the 1st Muharram which is the first day of the new Islamic year of 1442. The reward of fasting on the 1st of Muharram is forgiveness for sins which will be committed in the whole of the coming year.”

Q: I'm a 27 year old homosexual guy. My parents want me to get married but I have zero interest in girls. All my life I've never been in any kind (homo/hetro) relationship, I've never been intimate with anyone. In the last few days, due to my curiosity, I've seen many gay people living their life happily and this gave me so much pain that I can never experience the joy of true love because I know homosexuality is haraam and prohibited. If I get married to a girl, won't that be wrong for that innocent girl?

I've been battling my thoughts for the last few years and it was not easy to be untouched for 27 years in today's time where teenagers are engaged in such activities and people see you as a loser because you haven't done it yet.

I thought about suicide multiple times but that's also a major sin and also I have responsibilities towards my family as I'm the elder child and my big brother is already a rebel and my parents still haven't got over him. I can't give them another shock by saying anything.

I'm getting mentally unstable and can't see my future self living my life for me. Its hard to control the needs/urges of the body now. Every time I think about all this I get this deep pain and sorrow in my heart and tears in my eyes. I have no one to talk to about it personally. I do not want to commit either of the sins, neither can I be normal nor can I end my life. For Allah's sake, please please help me to get out of this.
