Q: If a person is a non-mahram to me, can I look at her clothing without looking at her face, or should I lower my gaze and not look at her clothing as well? 

Q: My husband (hanafi) was previously married to a shafi girl from a certain town. Things never worked out due to family influence on her side and she went back to her home town. She approached the ulama in her town for help and the ulama sent my husband a letter stating that he has to attend a meeting at a given date and time. My husband never attended the meeting nor answered the calls from her or from the Ulama. Thereafter he received another letter stating that his then wife is requesting for a faskh with a request for another meeting. My husband never attended that meeting as well. He received another letter stating that the faskh went through and that he must go to sign the necessary documents, but never done so.

4 Months after the fasigh went through he proposed to me and we got married 3 months there after, alhamdulillah. Now a few weeks ago, the matter came about, suggesting that he is still married to his first wife.

Regarding the given situation above I need advice on the following:

- Is he still married to her?

- If he is, what steps should he take?

- What are my rights? (At the time of the proposal I never knew he got "divorced" and when he proposed I said that I cannot be a second wife.) 

Q: I am pregnant and I have some bleeding from my private part. Can I perform salaah in this condition?

Q: My mother passed away 2 weeks ago and someone said that in order for us to gain sabr and comfort, we should take sand from the leg side of her kabr, mix it in water and drink. I feel this is wrong and would like to know is this acceptable in Islam.

Q: Is it permissible to use or prescribe sleeping pills? After using them, sometimes one is not in his conplete sense and sometimes says what will not usually say in public? Would Namaz be valid in this state? Can it be used if one is unable to sleep? Or can it be used sometimes when one wants to releive himself of worries?

Q: I am about to get married in few days. The girl who is going to be my wife (In shaa allah) doesn't follow Islamic dressing and hijab. I did talk to her about this in front of her mehram, she says she'll follow it once it comes from her own heart and it shouldn't be forced upon her.I know this will be a sensitive matter after our wedding as she might think that i am forcing hijab on her. So please guide me, after my marriage how do i make her dress in islamic way without forcing it upon her as forcing is forbidden in islam. 

Q: My question is more of a request for an explanation. I got into a... Lets say debate with a non Muslim and I've answered almost every answer correctly. His one question was if in the Quran it says Allahs word will never change. And if the Bible and Psalms are god's words, why do we say it's changed? The ayah he gave was this one.

The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all. Surah 6:115

I found another ayah where Allah says:

And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, from Surah Kahf.

I told him whatever God has revealed to Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) will never be changed. But he wants to know about ayah 6:115. He says I'm changing the subject and wants to know exactly where in the Quran it says the the Torah and Injeel have been changed.

Q: I'm 15. I live in a house where there is no WiFi connection. I had requested my parents to get a WiFi connection. But they refused as they worried it might harm me. A few months ago, I asked for a neighbor's WiFi and they gave me their password. Will it be halal for me to use that? Please keep in mind that I only use the WiFi for educational and Islamic purposes. 

Q: I suffer from doubts regarding many things. I am constantly remembering jokes and statements I made in the past that may have been statements of kufr. I have recently read about people singing certain songs that may have taken them out of the fold of Islam. Alhamdulillah I do not listen to music anymore. However I remember listening to and singing the same songs many years ago. I did not know the meaning of these songs at the time. I am now doubting the validity of my nikah and legitimacy of my children due to my actions prior to and after nikah. Is my nikah valid if I have commited these actions prior to nikah?

Q: I have been blessed with a baby girl. I intend giving my daughters name one of the below:

1. Delisha Hafsah bint-e-feroz

2. Delisha Nebia bint-e-feroz
