Q: For the saffs of the men, we understand that there should be continuity, and a gap larger than 2 saffs between saffs will cause the link to be broken, thus the salaah of those behind the gap will not be valid. (In the situation where there isn't any river, etc. inbetween).

What is the ruling regarding saff continuity for ladies? If a masjid has a room at the back, but between the last saff of the men and the women's room is a large gap, would the ladies salaah be permissible behind the imam? (assuming all other conditions are fulfilled such as the imam making niyyat for leading the ladies).

Q: I have contacted many doctors. I am like a girl, my body, chest, etc. My feelings are also like a woman. I know that this is not allowed in Islam and it is a sin. I am controlling myself but I want sexual relations with an older man and want to marry. My doctor confirmed that I am gay. What should I do?

Q: Are we allowed to read the dua "Hizb ul Bahr"?

What are the benifits of reading it? Is it sufficient to listen the audio of it? For your reference I am sending the dua below which I found on the internet.
