Q: For a long time now I have found it difficult to distinguish between the features of mazi and mani. I noticed that my everyday discharge has a smell to it, like the smell of mani. So when I do get mazi I feel it could be mani, but I'm always unsure. This is because it looks thin and white on my clothes, but after wiping, its majority white but looks a little yellow toward the end. The discharge is mostly thin and white, but the last part looks a little yellow.

1. Is ghusl fardh upon me every time I see the discharge look like this?

2. Every time I see, what looks like mazi to me, always has the same smell as mani, but so does my everyday discharge. I'm kind of confused? 

Q: What should be the conduct of a Muslim towards a person who is a Qaadiyaani (based on certain evidences like wearing particular type of abayas, wearing nailpaints all the time even during fardh ghusal and wudhu, claiming that she follows the maslak in which nailpaints have nothing to do with wudhu/ghusal viability) but have never called her so or have never been confronted for her belief except for a few occasions, on her social media raised voice for the persecution of Ahmadis. That stirred in our minds that she might be one... then we pondered, researched and thereafter find how to spot a Qaadiyaani female.... The said girl is our friend, but after this acknowledgment we try to maintain a distance but being roommates at a hostel and in our attempt to not depress her further through isolating her as she is already a detained student... we are not able to do it completely! We are in a different class so that implies that we aren't together all the time.

Please help us in this situation to protect our imaan from this fitnah and guide us to how we should behave towards her. She never talks about religious stuff and is unlikely to influence anyone with her belief, when she even has not disclosed it to us.

Q: I decided to travel to Dammam for 17 days. In between I went to some other town for 3 days which is approximately 200kms from Dammam.

My question is, after I came back to Dammam, do I need to pray qasar or full namaz? Initially it was more than 15 days stay so I was praying full namaz but after moving out of town and coming back and less than 15 days of stay left, so will it be qasr or not?

Q: I frequently travel to Saudi Arabia. What if I decide to do umrah one day from Dammam to Madinah. Do I need to wear ihram from my house/hotel in Dammam or can I wear the ihram at Dammam airport also.

Q: As a female, would it be haraam for me to cut males hair into different styles like how a barber would?

Q: The copper coil/IUD works mainly by killing sperm, preventing an egg being fertilized. But there is a chance of fertilization occurring, in which case the IUD also works by expelling this fertilized egg from the womb so it cannot implant and therefore pregnancy cannot occur. The women in most cases will not know if fertilization has occurred.

If there is a chance of this happening, even though it is a very small chance, is this considered abortion and therefore is the IUD haram?

Q: I am young. I am physically and sexually fit. I do my hard exercises on a daily basis. I have a job and I earn (halaal). I try to give most of my time in worship. Now, the matter is that I don't want to marry, I just want to live my life as single till death. What should I do?

Q: If a man kisses his cousin's daughter with lust.

1. Are their children allowed to marry each other? The girl married another man and the man (who touched or kissed her) married another woman.

2. Will this nullify their parents marriage?

Q:

1. Was I baligh at the age of 8? Since I was 8, everytime I got in the shower I would throw water pressure “down there” until my body shook and was satisfied (I believe this was an orgasm, and I may have emitted maniy but I really don't recall). I read that mani is supposed to be thin and yellow, but I have only ever secreted white or clear discharge, so it was most likely mazi. After that, I would take my full shower without the intention of ghusl. I only started praying and fasting regularly at the age of 11, when I got my first period. Now, 18, I just learned that a woman is deemed to have reached puberty when one of four things happens:

1 – When she reaches the age of fifteen.

2 – When her pubic hair grows.

3 – When she emits mani (fluid released at climax).

4 – When she starts to menstruate.

Second Question: Does this mean I was baligh at the age of 8? Do I have to make up for 3 years of prayers and fasts that I did not do before the age of 11?  I continued this habit in my teen years, after my period at the age of 11 when I was surely baligh.

Third Question: My parents never had "the talk" with me and I did not know until recently what masturbation is, the fact that it is haraam, and that ghusl was mandatory after that. So I would perform the habit then take my full shower without the intention of ghusl. Does this mean I have been praying in the state of janaabat and have to make up for 7 years of prayers and fasts? 

Q: Alhamdulillah, twelve years back, I got married. At the time of marriage my intention was not to take any jahez (dowry) but one of my parents asked for basic materials like bed, furniture, house hold items (not big items). My intention is now to return the amount spent on those items to my father-in-law. 

My question is: Can I give my father-in-law the suitable amount? Shall I ask my parents about this? Or is it not required because the above items will be the milkiyat (owner) of my wife?
