Woman conducting an online course

Q: I am a woman and need to earn money. I have developed an online course that will not reveal my face but I need to record my voice explaining the content, and I cannot limit the course to only women (there is no way to do this on the online course platform). Though people will hear my voice, no one will know me. Is this halal?

I may also be able to use a software to change the pitch of my voice slightly (lower the pitch of my voice). Is this better?

Creating a WhatsApp group of males and females to share Islamic knowledge

Q: I am currently studying in a medical university. I want to share Islamic knowledge with my classmates. Is it permissible for me to make a WhatsApp group of my classmates, including both male and female, and then share Islamic knowledge on that group. There will be NO personal contact with any female.

There are already many other WhatsApp groups in which the whole class is added for study discussions. So if I use the same platform to spread Islamic knowledge, is it permissible?

Leaving stray cats on the road

Q: A stray cat was living in our home since we gave her food. One day it was pregnant and came with 4 of her kittens and all of them were living in our house in a bathroom. We provided food and shelter for them. Later, we were not able to look after those stray cats as they grew up due to cleaning issues. Many dogs were around our house and we've seen other stray cats dying because of that. So we decided to take all of them including the mother to a street where there were people looking after other cats. One kitten grabbed my dress and cried to leave me. But I left it there. It is killing me till date. Now I don't know if the kittens are alive or dead.

Will Allah Ta'ala be angry at me for this inhumane act?

How can I compensate for this? We tried calling adoption centres and giving away to family but no one took it.
