Q: I am an engineer by profession. I work very hard and Alhamdulillah seem to accomplish whatever I put my hand into. But above all, the problem I face is the continuous fear and lack of self-confidence before starting any task while at work. I even know that I would be able to accomplish it, but
don't know why, get constantly reminded by the sub-conscious that I won't be able to make it. Due to that, I constantly face a feeling of reluctance
before starting any challenging task. I am capable enough but don't know why this fear of starting any task has been developed in me ever since I
graduated and stepped into professional life (approximately 1.5 years).

Q: My husband is an alcoholic and separated from the past four years. He is not willing to give Talaaq nor accept Khula. We approached many ulema, still no results. He doesn't come for a discussion when masjid committees call him, doesn't respond to the masjid. I need advice and guidance in such case where husband is not willing to release even if I am ready to give back mahar. He just harasses and give troubles. He is an alcohol addict. He will be missing from the house for months together, some one has to find him and admit him in a de-addiction center. Again after a month again he goes missing, even now he is missing. I can produce the medical certificate regarding his hospitalization at alcoholic de-addiction centers. If I approach through court and lawyer, it is a burden I can't bear. I have a 5 year old son too. Need guidance in such a case to get out from this marriage.

Q: I am aware of the fact that dogs cannot be kept as pets inside the apartment (or house) because their saliva is najis (impure). I am also aware of the fact that Islam is the most accommodating religion.

I am an OCD patient and I wanted to inquire the ruling on therapy dogs for anxiety/depression inside the apartment. I live in Canada and I do not have any family here to support me emotionally. Therefore, the anxiety kept growing until I became an OCD patient.

Q: I have a question regarding inheritance! My dad was with his father for 35 years. When business was doing bad my father suggested he leave and go on his own but my granddad said my dad and his family are his responsibility, that's why he musn't go! Before my grand dad passed away my granddad gave the key of the shop to my dad and he said this is for you and your family's survival. He only asked for R300 a month. Does it mean that the shop was supposed to be my dads including the property? Now my dad has passed away and his brothers are asking for a share? Are they entitled to the share or not? Please advise.
