Q: There is a cousin of mine that has completed her matric and plans on starting university... I spoke to her about the importance of studying Deen and that a woman's place is not out in the public... She says that she made istikhara and shes very sure that madressa isn't for her at this stage of her life...

She is a very stubborn person by nature and is dead set on going to university, I don't know what else to tell her.

Can Mufti Saheb please advise me on how to go about this... Should I just leave it or should I continue speaking to her (I feel like I'm pestering her)?

Q: An uncle told me that “… if you fast in rajab Allah Ta'ala on the day of judgment will give you a drink from His own hands from the river of Rajab which is whiter than milk sweeter than honey…”

I did some research and didn’t find any Hadith claiming this and I found out that there isn’t any evidence to back there being a specific reward for fasting during Rajab. I didn’t respond to his text to avoid trouble. My family is South Asian and bidah/cultural practices are rife.
