Inheritance

Q: A sister is the only sibling left as her mother and father had passed away. All her 3 brothers and 4 sisters have passed on also. All her 7 siblings (brother and sisters) have children consisting of boys and girls . They are 10 " cousins". Her father married a second wife who also has 2 boys and 3 girls. The sister is 70 years old and wants to know who will inherit from her? She has no husband and no children. As she has only left the children of her brothers and sisters born of her mother's womb - first wife children's children. Are they the ones that will inherit? Will the 2 boys and 3 girls of the second wife inherit as they are also deemed her siblings (her brothers and her sisters) as they have the same father. They are all alive - all 5. Will they inherit? Please advise.

In short:

Wife 1  and all other children deceased- only this sister alive.

AND her siblings children is left and alive.

Wife 2 - 2 boys and 3 girls alive.

Not getting married to the girl one was involved with

Q: Its regarding marriage. I had a girlfriend (we didn't do the unlawful thing together) and we were set to get married the halal way with both of our families involved. Now, 5-6 months before marriage, the girl started to say lie statement to me about her family's opinion about our marriage. (WaAllah I believe her decency and she was and is not involved in any ill act with someone else). She did one big mistake, she faked below things.

1. Her family doesn't consider me (her to be husband) as a good match.

2. The boy isn't financially well settled.

3. Her family is interested in getting married to someone else who is more better in wealth and better in family.

4. Created an imaginary person with whom her family wants her to get married.

I trusted her and assumed that all she said is correct (she said all this to me in a long period, not suddenly and hence i believed her) I was so frustrated that I told her that I no longer am interested to get married to you, you can marry the person your family wants you to get married with. She accepted that its her fault that she lied. She cried a lot and said sorry, in front of everyone from her family and my family. But I was so frustrated with this drama that I could no longer believe her and I said, "Sorry, I cant marry you". All this was around 2 years back. Now with the help of Allah I decided to move on and looking forward to marry someone else (not decided to whom, but just looking) Now, the ex-girl says me that she is still waiting for me and wants to get married to me only. Please suggest me what should I do here? Will it be a zulm from my side on her if i don't get married to her? I tried to tell her that she should get married to someone else but she insists and says she loves me. I'm not getting what to do. I want to get married to someone else, but not sure if it would be correct to leave ex-girl?

Premarital relationships

Q: I have been in a relationship for almost 7 years and we have been discussing marriage. Our only problem is that my family has yet to accept him or our relationship because of his education level. By all accounts, he is a good and religious man. He has help guide me to be a better muslimah and he is kind hearted, generous and loving. How do I get my family to look past his one flaw to see all his other strengths? He might not have a high education but he's hardworking and has accomplished so much in his career despite his education level. He is the one I want to get married to. I just don't know how to get my family to accept him and see him for the wonderful man he truly is.

Muay thai

Q: I am interested in taking part in Muay thai as I wish to learn how to defend myself, I understand participants are asked to bow and to undertake exercises which are derived from religious rituals of Buddhism but I would not take part in either of these. Muay thai allow blows to the head however participants can wear gloves and pads which can offer protection from strikes and the face would not be hit. Is it halaal for me to take part in Muay thai?

Talaaq in anger

Q: Once me and my wife was rude (in ghazab) to each other and I beat her and then she also beat me which made me too angry and then she said give me talaq and as I was too angry I said Talaq, talaq, talaq. I don't know whether that was two times or three time, but I didn't tell her that you are talaaq, I just repeated the talaq word. This happened when we both were too angry (fighting with each other), while in fact both of us didn't want this and we both love each other, So please instruct me in this regard?

Uttering statements of kufr

Q: If a wife in a fit of anger and depression says to her husband that Allah is with the rich and not with the poor. Disrespects the religion. But deep inside is fearful of Allah. Regrets what she said. Makes taubah. Reads namaz and quran as usual. Reads the salatu taubah namaz. Does this saying in anger make her a kaafir and nullify her marriage. Husband and wife are married for 8 years with 3 children.

Listening to the husband

Q: I did not attend a very close family function as my husband asked me not to, for certain reasons with my uncle. Now everyone's upset because I wasn't allowed to go and are saying I should have attended, who should I listen to? My husband or my mother, I am very confused as they have argued on the phone about it. How do I please Everyone? Without hurting them, please advise on all my questions.
