Q: My husband has decided to separate from me for two months. I am staying with my mum. What are the rules of separation. I have tried calling my husband to speak to him. Is this permissible? He doesn’t want to answer. I think he is under the impression that we’re not allowed to have any contact with one another.
Q: My husband is not giving proper time to me or my kids. I think he did a second marriage but whenever I ask him he always lies. He goes out every evening and I know everything about this girl but only nikah is not confirmed, whether he did it or not.
If he did nikah then he is hiding it from me (first wife). He gives us money, food, shelter but he does not spend any time time with me or the kids. Is he sinful for not giving time and love to us?
Q: If a family phones the house of a girl to see the girl for marriage - Is it permissible to read Istikharah to gain insight on whether the boy should be called home to see the girl? Especially since the girl finds these 'samoosa runs' difficult.
Q: Is it permissible to go and see a girl for marriage purposes because one's family strongly recommend her. However in my own heart I know that I will not marry this person. Can one go to see her just to please the family?

Q: I was telling my husband how I read online by a sheikh/imam that it is not allowed for a grown man to be cuddling his mother whilst laying next to her or for a mother to cuddle her grown son like this. He got annoyed and said she's my mother and I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I asked him further and said what are you calling nonsense? He said that you are saying me or my mother aren't allowed to cuddle each other. I said it isn't nonsense it's not allowed. I have told him this probably atleast 2 or 3 times but I don't think he believes me. He has alot of knowledge of Islam alhamdulliah but he has not read the whole of the quran.
1. Because my husband believes that sleeping next to your mother and cuddling her or her cuddling her grown son is not wrong, does this make him an unbeliever?
2. Does this break my nikah?
