Q: I gave a condition to my wife just for one particular day and for a particular phone call that you will be divorced, will be divorced, will be divorced if you call baji (my elder sister). She did not call on that particular day nor did my sister call her on that day. I am living in UAE and had already taken fatwa from aukaaf department and the mufti sahab said "chunkay ap na sirf aik din ki pabandi lagai thi or ap ki biwi na fone ni kiya is liye talaq ni hui, agar ker lati to ho jati or wo future ma bilkul call ker sakti han" After that me and my wife are living normal life. My wife calls her and visits her, but the problem is that I didn't the mufti sahab about three talaqs because I didn't remember at that time. I told him only one talaaq. I take oath that this condition was given for only one particular day. It was clear to my wife also. Also my niyyah was to stop my wife from that particular call by threatening her. It was not meant for divorce. Due to my loneliness I am scared and worried. Please help me.

Q: My elderly 78 year old Nigerian Christian neighbor called me to her home today and advised me that she has been experiencing evil influences for the past 10 years. She believes her home to be the problem. She says she is troubled by bad spirits troubling her during the night not letting her sleep. Her Christian priests advised her to undertake lots of prayer, one advised her to take benefit from Yaseen Shareef. Hence she has approached me. She wants me to find someone to do an amal for her. She has asked for holy water as well. What shall I do? She says she is very desperate. I am tempted to give her zam zam and a copy of the Qur'an Shareef in English. Should i also give her audio Qur'an? Please advise what I should do in this instance. Should my family or I be concerned at getting involved in this sort of thing? Can there be repercussions? Your direction in this matter is very much appreciated.

Q: Three months back me and my elder brother had a fight. We both are married Masha Allah. I have twin 6 years old daughters. In that fight my brother beat me up in front of his wife my daughters and my mother's home servant. After I got beaten by my brother and when he called me "awaara" just because I did love marriage, so many years had past but after listening such words I got angry in reaction. I said bad words. I said abusive words for my brother's father in-law who is also my uncle. Day by day my uncle's family had stuffed so much hatred for our family specially me. I am 29 years old. I feel so hurt because I lost my respect. I am ashamed. Now my uncle's family after knowing that I said bad words they are insulting my mother and me. He said my brother did right if he beats me because I said bad words for him and his daughter. This was not true. My brother beat me first in that fight, he got abusive first. It was only my reaction what should I do. Does Islam allow a man or a brother to beat his sister like this for no reason. Kindly explain what should I do?

Q: My sister has been married for four years now. Before one year completed, her husband gave her one talaaq and declared that in papers as well. Though elders of family sat and did agreement and sent her back. He started beating her, scolding her, his mom and sisters started abusing my sister. It's the same situation going on now. They are blessed with two girls. Mother in-law came to hit her last week as my sister gave birth to a girl. They are highly uneducated family and always talk with bad words. My elders want to make an agreement but they are abusing them as well. Now my sister went to hospital and came out from that house and she is with us now. She refused to go back to that house due to the scare of in-laws and husband's beating. What is the sunnah in this situation? We can't see her anymore in this situation and she is educated and hence can start working as a teacher.

Q: My question has two part which are as follows:

1. Can we give our zakaat money to our brother who is not living with me nor with family, he is living alone and by his own living cost?

2. Our father and mother passed away last year. We seven brothers have contributed money for (Mom/Dad) their Tadfeen and Takfeen and I have paid 600 USD on behalf of my brother (lending) who is needy, so this year my zakaat money is 470 USD and can I count and cut this zakaat money from the 600 USD which I have paid on his behalf?

Q: I would like to know if husband and wife have gone to the MJC. The wife wanted a faskh but the husband didn't want. The MJC didn't grant one because there wasn't grounds for a faskh, but has requested that the husband and wife meet again at the MJC to discuss the way forward. My question is, can the wife go behind his back to another Imam or Sheikh and get a faskh without the husband even knowing about it or being notified. I have heard that there are some Imams that will simply issue a faskh based on the wifes story and not even bother to notify the husband. Is this valid?
