Q: I'd like to know something regarding talaaq. I am an ex-recovering addict. I used drugs and I got married in 2012 and 6 months later in a rage of anger and not in the right frame of mind I sent an email to my wife giving her 3 talaqs. It's now 2014.

Q: I am working in a software company in India. Our head office is in US and our Indian branch is operated from there and our salaries are generated from there as well. We are mostly working for US Government projects and most of the Indian software industries are growing up because of US economy. My question is, as everyone is aware that America is basically trying to demolish Islam and its followers, so in general way of thinking, working on US projects, means working for them, and then making there life easy. Like everyone knows that US airforce did bombarding on Islamic countries and many Muslims were killed and if I participated in there software requirements via India. So does it mean, I am also involved in that and Allah will ask me questions on that? I did my higher education in computers and every small industry is running up because of the US and other western countries projects. If I leave my job, and join other company then there also same situation will arise. Please suggest!

Q: Please help me. Once one of my friend's said "Do you have a wife? and I said "I don't have a wife, we have gone our separate ways" (meaning I left her but I never had any intention of divorcing my wife. The only reason why I said this is because I didn't want them to know my business but I quickly changed my statement and said "Yes I have a wife" but all I wanted was them not to know my business. Is this divorce?
