Q: I was diagnosed with psoriasis 3 years back. When it initially came, it was bad where my body was almost covered with it. Upon taking the treatment biologics injections, it cleared rapidly in 2-3 months.

Since Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition I have to keep it in control and according to doctors it cannot be cured completely, but there are medications which can keep it in control. I know few people who have been cured from it (remission).

After this initial major outbreak, I was pretty much clear from it by the grace of Allah for the past 3 years.

Only this year, in 2023, it was a little bad for around 6 months where 5-8% of my body was covered, according to the doctor since i was off my medication for 1.5 years.

When I was on medication I used to get few plaques during winters which covered around 3% of the body and they got cleared in summers in 2-4 months. Rest of the months I was 99.9% clear of it.

Now I have started the medication again and it is in control where I have around 1-2% of involvement and hoping it will be cleared in 1-2 months inshallah. I take injections once every month now.

Other than this condition I am healthy and normal and I also work by Allah's grace.

I am planning to get married. Given my history of this condition should I inform my prospective spouse about this condition. I feel nobody will be interested after I inform them about it. So I am not able to take a decision due to this. Doctors told me that it is perfectly okay to get married living with this condition.

Q: I did work for a Hindu. Payment was due months ago. He owes me R425. It is a tiny amount, but I spent a lot of time on the work, and the amount will cover certain business expenses.

He promised thrice to pay. I stated clearly the terms when I quoted him before he paid the deposit, which he agreed to. But now he says, months later, those terms are unfair, so he will not pay. I should email, and message him several times for months, but no response.

He finally answered the phone. I was so angry at his excuses and lies, that my hands started shaking and I started arguing loudly and interrupting him. I never get vulgar or insult, but I was rude and hostile. I never became like this ever before on a worldly issue in my entire life. Eventually he said he will pay month end. I said "Thank you, goodbye".

If he was a Muslim, I would have overlooked this for the sake of peace and community, hoping reward from Allah Ta'ala. But this treatment from a Hindu, I don't appreciate. Please advise:

(1) Was I sinful in talking rudely, angrily, and hostile with him? If yes, must I apologize to him for being rude? He has continued to lie and ignore me for months, and I finally got to speak to him on this occasion.

(2) What do you advise regarding the R425 he owes me? Should I pursue it or just drop the matter in view of peace? The next option I can consider is issuing him a legal letter of demand, following with Small Claims Court. But I do not want to go to court. However, I can threaten him with it. Insha Allah I will follow your advice.

Q: If Zaid had a gold ring but didn’t have it in his possession and was told by a jeweller that it would be no more than 1g and so he paid Zakah using 1g but then when he got it, it turned out to be 1.7g so he paid 0.7g for the required years, was that correct to do?

Q: If one feels like he committed an act of kufr, will the shahaadah he reads in salah after be sufficient for him to enter Islam again?

Or does he have to say the shahaadah separately with the intention of accepting Islam?

Q: I wanted to ask if there is a lady and she has a husband who has had an affair which she recently discovered was also physical in nature for 2 years or so with a married woman, is the nikaah nullified for the wife?

As this husband continues to commit adultery and simultaneously have relationship with the wife? If the marriage is not nullified, what dua should one make for reconciliation after such deceit?

Q: Will Allah forgive a murderer or rapist if he repented and the victim also forgave him? Will Shariah still punish him if no one knows about it? Will Allah punish him in the hereafter on the day of Qiyamat because he did not get punishment in this duniya and just repented to Allah, and the victim also forgave him?
