Q: It has become the habit with doctors that the time of the appointment made is hardly ever upheld. Despite an appointment having been made for a certain time, a patient is made to wait sometimes upto an hour longer. Is this correct? It creates much frustration and inconvenience.

Q: A Muslim man bumped into my car. He gave me the round around for 2 months. He eventually agreed to pay the panelbeater. Now he has excluded the vat amount. When I asked him for the vat amount he refused then says he will give me the vat amount as zakaat.
The full invoice of the panelbeater is what is supposed to be paid. He wants to now make it a zakaat thing thinking that I wont take it on hearing that it's zakaat. What is the ruling as the full amount is what had to be paid in the agreement of fixing me car?
Q: Is my husband a mahram to my grandmother or should she make parda from him?
Q: With consent from my parents and siblings, and my husbands entire family (but not his father), I had my Nikkah in November last year. As soon as we announced to my father in law, he was over the moon and incredibly happy. Some realtives also knew about the nikaah beforehand as they arranged our marriage. The Nikaah was beautifully done at the mosque in front of witnesses and my mother and sister. After the Nikaah my parents announced it to other relatives and friends. I and my family received a lot of backlash.
My question is, Islamically did we do any wrong in keeping the nikaah discreet from noise and simplifying it as best as we could? I have received love from my in-laws and family members who were generally happy. Some relatives and family members may forever hold a grudge of some sort. For my own contentment, I wanted to ask if I did anything wrong or were there any mistakes in hiding it from certain family members?

1. Since I was unaware of this ruling, I already have many such rings that I used to wear. What should be done with those rings?
2. I have given rings as gifts to many women in the past and my jewellery business gave me profit from selling artificial rings. Will I be sinful for this? What should I do now?

Q: My spouse and I had a severe argument and in anger and anguish without realizing I said to her I will divorce you. When I came back to my senses I realized what mistake I made since it wasn't my intention but she abused my mother and I completely lost it.
Last year we had few fights and I had said this twice but she has always stopped me but I am not sure if divorce is done or not. If it has, is there a way out of this since I wasn't in my senses.
