Q: I am an Indian and my wife had filed a dowry case against me without any reason and based on that I had to give her talaq in writing back dated [13.11.2013] that is one month before from the day the they have called me in the police station [16.12.2013]. Otherwise they would have put me in some other cases. Since I am staying in gulf I have send a written letter to her on talaaq and sent the same by post. However I have pronounced talaq in front of her father and and other witnesses after a month [28.12.2013] in the police station over the phone. Now my question is which talaaq is valid the one which I pronounced in front of everyone over telephone or the one which I sent a letter to her house with witness signature but at that time during sending the letter I verbally did not pronounce talaq. Please advice which talaq is valid and how to count 3 months iddah period?

Q: Could you please extend your knowledge on the following morning dream I've had.

In reality my house is small but in this dream it was exactly the same but more spacious. I'm very tidy in reality so I was glad to notice how
beautifully clean and white it was too. My husband and I, my friend and children were over (as per normal). So it was a full house. Everyone seemed happy. In reality my kids are all married except my youngest daughter who is 25. In the dream she was in the kitchen. She looked so radiant, mashallah. So much noor and so beautiful. Her hair, skin, attire and so on, were so beautiful. In my room (the main bedroom) was a young man. I'm sitting with him. He was playing with a cute and happy baby who was wearing white. To me in the dream it was like they (my daughter and him) were together and that was their baby. He called my daughter and she blissfully ignored him as she was talking to my friend in the kitchen (or she was busy there). He then casually mentioned to me that she doesn't listen to him. But more playfully than complaining. When I called her to come to him, she playfully glanced over and advised she'll come over. "Wait, I'm coming now-now". What could this mean?
