Q: I made a niyyat for a nafil fast about 30min before sehri ends. Just prior to sehri ending, I decided that I should rather wait and make the niyyat for keeping fast before half the day, depending on how I felt. I was not going to eat during that time, until my niyyat was confirmed. Is it ok to change my niyyat for fasting afterwards, or is the first niyyat I made 30 minutes before sehri ended binding?

Q: If the night of laylatul Qadr has begun in some parts of the world but the night of laylatul hasn't occurred in other parts of the world, then does Angel Jibreel and other Angels visit only those parts of the world in which the night of qadr has begun and not the other parts of the world? Because Angel Jibreel comes down to visit earth on laylatul qadr. So when the night of laylatul qadr begins in those other parts of the world, does he come down to earth again to visit those places where it's happening?

Q: I am on my 17 of 60th day for my Kaffarah. I went to the doctor the pills he gave have to be taken four times a day every 6 hours. Last night I got very sick to the point where I vomited 6 times.
