Sex toys

Q: May I ask why Muslims have become interested in things like 'sex toys' in marriage? It seems all very strange and weird. What is the cause of this odd interest by Muslims?

I researched this and the manufacture or sale of 'sex toys' was actually prohibited in South Africa by the apartheid government. The ruling was lifted only in 2007 by parliament.

Eating a chocolate with Christmas wrapping

Q: Mufti Saheb had said to avoid Easter eggs because of their relation to Easter. At the moment, quite a lot of sweets/chocolates and other things come in a Christmasish wrapping. Sometimes the thing itself is in a Christmas related shape. I have some chocolate that came in a firecracker wrapping which was given to me. It does not come in this wrapping during other times of the year. May I eat it?

Wife threatening to leave her husband

Q: I got married in 2001 to a revert woman. We have three children 17, 9 and 8 year old. I am working abroad and visit twice a year. My wife is unhappy because I support my mother since my father passed away 4 years ago. I provide for her well enough accordingly to my ability.

We have a problem for about 10 years and I am afraid that if I leave her she will become apostate and my children's future will be in trouble. All the time she threaten's me that she will leave and marry another person. She openly opposes to support my mother and sisters. She stopped any physical relations with me 8 years ago. What should I do?
