Excessive talking

Q: I read that it is not good to talk too much. I realize I have this bad habit of excessive talking. What to do to stop myself as it is an old habit and sadly its roots are deep inside me?

Women remaining at home

Q: What is the shariah ruling about women taking kids to public parks? My husband is never willing to take our kids to park all on his own. He gets angry if I present the idea of him going with children only. I have to go with them (in full purdah, keeping my gaze lowered), am I sinning?

The status of purda and niqaab

Q: I would like to know is niqaab something that is really mandatory for Muslim women to wear. As an example doing three rakaats at fajr instead of two is not allowed just because you want to be more religious, same way isn't wearing more than hijab not allowed, because Allah said in the Qur'an, cover everything except your face and hands, so niqaab doesn't fall into that category. Because the whole point of hijab as well is not to get any attention, but the place I live niqaab would give you so much attention, people are scared of it and not only European countries, even most Muslim countries think that, like Lebanon and Turkey etc. that niqaab is something that is seen as extremists would wear. It's dark and overall isn't black color something that Islam disliked wearing? Like all the gothic, witches, emo style satanic people wear. And also Nowdays it's important for people to see each others faces, it's the obvious part of you that identifies you and if people can't see you, it makes them scared. So many Hadith have been changed nowadays, and I honestly believe that hijab with proper jilbab and all is enough and more could be not accepted just as three rakaats at fajr isn't accepted.

Superstitions

Q: I am living in Australia for the last seven years. I leased a house here in Australia one Month before marriage, the idea was to live here with my wife. However, I am struggling with visa for last 3 years. One of my friends advised me to change this house as in his opinion this house/land is not suitable for her. I would like to know the reality of land and house in the light of Islam. Also would like to know that, does house or land have any effect on human's life.
