Q: I married for the second time in 11.11.2016. Before marriage, I stayed together with her for one year. I wanted to make my relationship halaal but I did one mistake by not telling her that I was married with 2 kids.

After 3 months she got to know that I was married and she wanted a divorce. Now she wants a divorce and is not ready to live with me. Everyday she argues and fights with me.

So I told her to take divorce but she was not ready. Now what do I have to do. She is not easy to live with anymore and not ready to divorce. 

Q: I gave a loan of 200 dollars to my friend a few years ago. I had these dollars from my aunt who gave them to me to deposit in my bank account. Now my friend is returning the amount to me but there is an issue, at that time it was equal to 105 Pakistani rupees per dollar... now it is 141 Pakistani rupees per dollar. 

At what rate should he return this amount to me? If I take it at 141 rupees, he will have to pay extra (from 105/$ to 141/$) to make it equal to 200 dollars and if I take money it at the rate of 105 per dollar I will get a lesser amount. Kindly guide me what to do.

Q: One of my friends whom I know for years told me an upsetting story.

His story was that he had committed fornication with his sister when he was 12 or 13 years old. Now that he is 20 years old, and knows what he has done, he is worrying every second and regretting his life. He says that his conscious does not let him live and he has no hope to be forgiven by Allah. What is your kind directions to him?

Q: In some masjids, there is a seperate entrance, like a connecting room, before the main praying hall, where people keep their shoes. The doors of the masjid first open into this entrance, and then there is another door to the main praying hall where the imam leads the salaah. Often this area is carpetted for praying. Is it allowed to make a second congregation (jamaat) in this entrance?

Q: In Islam we know that there is something known as "nazar" or "the evil eye" and what are its negative effects and harms etc.

We would like to know, is there also such a thing in Islam as "sweet nazar" or "good nazar"?

For example, when a father or mother looks at his/her child with a look of pure love and forgets to say "Maashaa Allah", then can this glance of love have a negative effect on the child? Since there is no question of jealously for one's own child, can there still be negative effects in an innocent look out of pure love?

If so, does this principle apply to everything that is dear to you?

For example, if you look at your own car or house with a look of amazement without saying "Maa shaa Allah" then can this have a negative effect on it even though there's no question of jealousy for your own belongings. 

Q: Do I need to ask my parent's permission if I want to go out on dinner with my wife? Am I committing a sin if I don't ask for permission? 

Q: I want to ask if it is allowed to sell and purchase plot files? The housing society is still underdevelopment and possession of plots is not given to file holders.

(The file is a document issued by a housing scheme developer, against which one can claim a piece of land/plot once development is done, and possession started by the developer)

Q: I want to get married to a Christian girl and she is even willing to convert to Islam now. She is not Muslim yet, actually she was with a Muslim boy before and he took her to the mosque to do nikaah as she only did it because that boy wanted her to go to mosque with her and they did as well but as per her she did it because that boy wanted to do nikaah with her according to Islam. The permission of her mother was also not in it.

My question is, was the nikaah valid or not, as she said yes in the mosque in front of the Imaam. If the nikaah is valid then what should I do?

Q: I want to ask whether we should go to the qabaristan in the morning and recite durood-e-qabaristan for 41 days. Will this help our dead parents?

Q: What is a Muslim’s duty towards beggars?

Is it absolutely obligatory to always give them money irrespective whether they are Muslims or not and irrespective whether they are genuine or habitual. Most appear to have made begging a living.

We constantly get lots of beggars (both Muslims and non-Muslims, young and old) that regularly come round and expecting money. If a nominal amount of money is given, it is often refused and, if food or anything else is given, it is simply also refused or thrown away.

We also get many Muslim youngsters that appear healthy and able to work; yet come around begging. In this instance, can one refer them to the nearest Jamiat Office who will no doubt screen them and ascertain if they are actually genuine and do qualify for assistance? Kindly advise.
