Husband attributing divorce to a future date

Q: Me and my husband had an argument and then I came to my parents house. I was pregnant at that time. My husband, just to threaten me so that I would come back home sent me a message saying "divorce Septmeber, 2017". He wanted to tell me that he will give me a divorce in September but he did this just to make me upset and did not intend as such. The very next month, in April, he came to me and we had a relation and apologized for what he did. He said that he just did it to threaten me so that I would come back. We want to know if it will be counted as divorce? 

Doubting whether one had a wet dream or not

Q: I am a female, after waking up in the morning sometimes I am very doubtful whether I had a wet dream or not. I am certain that no orgasm took place. The vaginal discharge is white or clear as regular discharge or sometimes clear water as sweat in very little quantity as moisture of organs. The discharge does not even come out of the labia majoria. It is inside only. So do I need to do ghusl as I am doubtful of whether I had wet dream or not? 

Instructing one's wife to remove her niqaab

Q: I got married to a girl who wears niqab which I don't prefer, but before marriage I requested her to remove the niqab and she agreed to it and we got married. Now my questions are:

1. Is it a sin to remove the niqab?

2. Did we both commit sin?

3. Is it mandatory to wear niqab?

I personally do not prefer niqab because I am from Sri Lanka which is not a Muslim country, and I currently live in Qatar.

Conditional divorce

Q: If a husband takes a qasam that he has no relation with that lady which is ought to be his wife and he often says that they are not mine. He also says that if they say they are my wives then I give them talaq talaq talaq three time. He even holds the Quran in his hand and says that they are not in my relationship. Does it mean talaq and is it talaq for all his wives?

Giving jewellery to one's children to avoid paying zakaat

Q: I was told to use the below fatwa as a hilah to avoid giving zakat on jewellery, however the jewellery gift by us to our own child is the same that we wish to give them on their marriage. The questions are: 

1. Is this hilah genuine?

2. Allah forbid, if the future becomes difficult and the jewellery is sold for survival before the child's marriage, what should be done?

Fatwa:

It is permissible for parents to accept on behalf of their minor children. Hence, if a minor girl's mother accepts jewellery on her behalf, she will become the owner of the jewellery, regardless of whether her mother informed her about it or not. After she becomes baaligh, zakaat will be compulsory upon the jewellery. If she did not have knowledge of her mother's accepting the jewellery for her, then at the time she comes to know, she will have to discharge the zakaat for every year from the time of puberty till the present year.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

The correct procedure of starting a partnership

Q: I want to start a business and I have an idea. The problem is that the idea is so easy, if I go with this idea to a traditional investor or Venture Capital firm they will copy the idea or start it on their own.

I don't have any capital to start the business so I can start the business with help crowdfunding. Will the business income be halaal?

My intention is clear that when I start making profit, I will start returning the money to the people or via the same way I got it, or I will donate the same amount of money to others.

Another thing is, can I use some money to buy a house with the capital raised because we are living in a rented house for a very long time and i want to buy a house.

Until I don't return the full capital money as I said above, is it permissible to donate some part of the income to other people in need?
