Going to non-Muslim countries

Q: I was told that if you and your spouse are in a non-Muslim /Dar ul Harb country and you go to Dar ul Islam (or vice versa) for a visit, your Nikaah is terminated. Is this true? Would it apply e.g. if the husband goes on vacation to Egypt, leaving his wife behind in South Africa for a few weeks?

Repenting to Allah Ta'ala

Q: Me and my wife had an argument. My wife started to pray that May Allah Ta'ala not accept my good deeds, may I not enter Jannat and may jahanum be Wajib on me. She also prayed that may my good deeds done in the past not be accepted. She was saying she is oppressed and Allah Ta'ala listens to the oppressor. I also started to pray that may she not enter Jannah and go to Jahanum and may her fast, Salaah, studying not be accepted. I fear now if one of our Duas gets accepted. We realized our mistake and asked for forgiveness from one another. We also asked for forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala. My question is that do we have to do any kufarah. I fear that what if Allah Ta'ala accepts her prayer as we do not know the hour of acceptance.

Invertro

Q: Please advise on the acceptability in islam for the use of invertro in order to obtain a child for couples who are struggling to conceive a child.

Advising one's mother

Q: My mother doesn't obey the rules of purda properly. She uses hijaab but after reaching school where she works she takes off the hijaab and wears a scarf. In this situation what should I do to get it right and what does Islam say?
