Q: On a trip out of town that necessitated qasar salaah, my sister checked the qibla direction using 2/3 apps. 2 gave a certain direction and the 3rd gave a different direction. We thus read our salaah according to the qibla direction from the two that were the same. However on the day we were leaving, I was on the balcony watching the sunrise and realised the sun was rising on the exact opposite direction of our qibla direction. In my understanding the qibla direction is north east and the sun rises in the east which meant our qibla was incorrect. Is this right? This doubt is lingering on my mind. Do I have to repeat my salaah? 

Q: When I was young and not baaligh I remember taking stickers from my young uncle without his knowledge which he didn't want to share with me. Now as an adult I realise the wrong of my action. Am I sinful? And if so, how can I recompense? I do not wish to answer for this wrong in the Hereafter.

Q: With regards to haidh. My cycle is not set and changes almost all the time. I usually get 9/10 days of haidh and 15 clean days. During my clean days I have some days of pinkish discharge and/or blood and/or clear discharge with brown discharge.

My last haidh cycle I had bleeding for only 8 days. The 9th day was clean, no discharge. On the 10th day I got clear discharge with brown discharge just before my days of haidh ended. Will this be regarded as haidh or istihaaza?

Q: I'm a 22 year old female. I remember that when I was 15 to 17 years of age, I was travelling in a car with my family and was sitting between my mother and father. At that time I was thinking about someone else and got sexually aroused. Now, I am horrified and wanted to know if hurmat musaaharah had taken place.

Only the left side of the body near the hips was in contact, but I was wearing 3 to 4 layers of clothes which is the salwar, a long top probably with a lining and a burqah. My father was wearing a shirt and a pant. When I think about that incident now, I think that the body heat was felt inspite of the layers of clothes (which together became a thick barrier) in between. Will hurmat take place?
