Q: In Mecca, inside Safwa Towers there is a very large prayer area (with its own sound system, recitation coming direct from the Haramain Sharifain Imam). Does this area come under the precinct of the Haramain? In other words, do I get the same reward as praying inside the Haramain Sharifain as praying in the Safwa Towers’ prayer area?

Q: Pakistan is an Islamic state. I have invested some amount in government saving schemes. Although the rate of profit is fixed it is actually not because of inflation which may be more or less than the rate of profit. Besides, the actual value of my investment is going down each year due to devaluation being corresponding effect of inflation. Please guide me if the profit I receive on this investment is halaal.
Q: I have been married for 10 years and have 2 children aged 1 and 3. My husband and I fight constantly because he has a bad temper. He smokes weed and hangs around with non muslim friends. He has never beaten me so that I have marks but has struck me and pushed me while holding my baby. He has always tried to kick me out of the house but my mother in law has intervened and allowed me to stay. If he says he wants a divorce and I should leave, what are his responsibilities towards his children as we do not have anywhere to go and I cannot afford to rent a place on my salary.

Q: I will try to describe my problem as accurately as possible. For over a month I have been having problems with "flatulence", but it is not like normal flatulence, because I can still break wind normally (able to hold, release, etc). It is irregular outside of wudu and salaah, but mostly during those times I have been experiencing bubbles/fart leaks that are uncontrollable and odourless and noiseless mostly. I have actually not in the last couple of days managed to go without this problem for the duration of making wudu until the completion of the salaah. Outside of the wudu or salah, it happens irregularly like sometimes when I squat I feel something. Look, I even take precautions before starting wudu like squatting, trying to expel any gas, but it still doesn't work. I haven't tried to go as long as I can to try and make a wudu and salah without it happening (like re-doing wudu and salah until I manage it), really, I don't know if I could. Maybe I could. But then that would be hardship. I don't prolong salah or wudu either.. I wash my limbs once, do salah quickly as well.., doesn't stop it from happening. I mean after sometime repeating wudu, I could go to last rak'ah in salah and then it happens. Really frustrating.
Q: I had my haidh on the 8th of july. I finished six days later. On the 1st of Aug I started spotting very little seven days early from my normal day that I get it. I am thinking it might be implantation bleeding (bleeding that occurs if you are pregnant). Do I regard it as haidh not read salaah/quraan etc or carry on as normal? As if it is implantation bleeding it means I am pregnant.
