Girl getting married without the happiness of her mother

Q: I would like to know if a hanafi girl has found a suitable partner, such a partner that is a Muslim, one who performs his salaah, he is capable of financially providing for her and fulfills all the requirements of nikaah, however her mother refuses for her to make nikaah to such a boy without any solid and valid excuse, will it be allowed for her to make nikaah to him without the happiness of her mother as the mother is not being reasonable?

Will a person be regarded as a musaafir if he is studying 76km from his home town

Q: I am from Roshnee, studying in Azaadville (distance between Roshnee and Azaadville is 76 Km). My wife is from Rustenburg which is +/-100 km to Azaadville.

So we staying together here in Azaadville, but I do not intend ever settling down here because I have to basically just finish my studies.

Ps. We usually don't stay here for more than 15 days. So can the following intentions be permissible: 

My niyyah: My darul watan is still Roshnee, I make niyyah for safr when I leave Roshnee intending to continue my journey more than safr distance, and stay in Azaadville for less than 15 days (by our flat).

My wife's niyyah: She keeps Rustenburg as her darul watan as she hasn't established herself anywhere else yet, not Roshnee nor Azaadville. Azaadville is just a darus safr as she will not stay for more than 15 days like myself. She reads qasr when in Roshnee.

So do I read qasr in Rustenburg? Are these intentions correct or should we change our niyyah to base ourselves in Azaadville and work accordingly or what is Mufti Saheb's opinion?

Taking one's brother's share of the estate

Q:My father left behind 25 lacs in his account after his death. We are two brothers, my elder brother is married and is doing a govt job. I am student and unmarried yet. I'm not unemployed yet. My father had made a bequest to my mother that all this money should be given to me only and not to my brother. Should I keep all the money? If I keep it without giving any share to my brother, will I be sinful?

Slowing down one's electricity meter due to electricity being expensive

Q: I am using government electricity. The government charges on electricity are very unfair since the area where I stay is a bit of a rich people area. They charge us more whereas electricity in the surroundings/other areas is much cheaper. So thats why I decided to slow down my prepaid meter. Is it right/permitted in Islam?
