Q: I have intended that I would give sadqah everyday if this happens. Now if I don't have money always how do I give sadqah?
Q: I need naseehah if I should deactivate my Facebook account or not. This account has been helpful for my deen as through it I give many islamic posts. And I follow people who posts islamic posts , joined different islamic groups. Even I have joined groups where muftis give dars about islam, iman, aqaid, history of hadeeth, importance of adab etc and also they take quiz and give marks and they don't show their face.I am in a group where the 30th para and amal surah are targets to be memorized, so it is also benifitting me. But sometimes I become lazy and spend much time on facebook scrolling, reading Islamic posts. Nowadays I started to stalk people's (mahram) profiles which I don't want to do but I still do it and waste my time watching their photos and posts. So I have deactivated it temporarily. Should I deactivate it completely?
Q: We have a business and one of our products is bottled water. We were using a supplier to bottle water for us, who was renting a plot from someone else. The owner of the plot passed away. So now our supplier has chosen to move his operation into his other business which is a bottle store... we not sure if we should continue or find someone else? He has moved it to a cold room in the liquor store with only water in the room and no liquor... He still invoices us from his other company as was previously done.
Q: As you are aware about the corruption in the government presently..we have a building which houses the poor community,which has a common water meter..for some time now there's been a slow reading of the meter. We are passing this benefit on to the tenants, if we have to inform the municipality..the benefit will stop to the tenants and the rent will increase by R300-00 per unit. The question is should I inform the municipality or let the tenants benefit considering all the corruption taking place.
Q: I am a guy, and my wife to be has vitiligo. My parents do not know about this but she disclosed it to me, and I am perfectly ok with this and understand that it might spread, but to me her honesty, personality and piety matters, not the skin condition. She is conscious of her condition and sometimes insecure. That being said, I am not sure whether I am required to disclose this to my parents as well, because of the way society deems such conditions, or is this a personal matter that as long as we both are ok with, and she is honest to me, should be kept private? I have not asked her if she would be ok with me telling it to my parents. Is it kind of lying to my parents to keep such information hidden? In such case, should I ask my wife to be if she is ok with me disclosing it to my parents? Or is this a personla matter between us?
Q: I have two questions on oath.
1. What are the words which makes an oath binding?
2. Is verbal utterance necessary for an oath to be valid or will an oath be formed if a firm intention is made in the heart without saying it loudly with the mouth and tongue?

Q: I had a nikkah before 8 months and before nikkah we agreed about haq mahr which was 300000 pk RS but during writing the nikkah, the father of the girl changed his mind without even informing me and asked to write 4000$ insteed of 300000 pk RS.
Also, he added a condition that if I give talak (breaking of nikkah ) before marriage, I have to pay 6000$ if I give talak after marriage, I have to pay 15000$. I was shocked and tried to ask why all this changed. The witness told me that it's ok because I'm not going to give talak. It's just a formality, so I accepted out of respect because they will be my family.
Later on we agreed about the day of marriage and they asked for the remaining money. I sent it to them and the remaining 100000, I told them that I will pay it later. They said ok and we agreed about the shaadi date.
All of a sudden the girl and her dad changed their mind again and asked for more money and the girl said she wants to continue studying and I have to wait if I love her.
At this moment I called for help and for a separation and I wanted to break this relationship. What will the consequences be and what do I have to do now? Will they deserve the have of haq mahr as mentioned in Quran or they have to return all my money and what about the condition of 6000$?
