Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Q: Is getting married to someone so that she can make khidmat of his parents correct or should the decision be made more on shahwat for the person?

Q: Is it sinful to have a favourite child? Or even two or three out of your children? 

Is this fair towards the others because how must they feel inside with a parent having a favourite?

Q: I wanted to know the Islamic ruling regarding birthmarks. Is it when Shaytaan bites or kisses you? 

Q: I am writing to seek your guidance on a family matter concerning marriage eligibility in Islam. 

I am considering the possibility of proposing marriage between my daughter and her first cousin from mother side. However, there is a specific detail that we need to clarify: the boy's younger sister is also our daughter's radaai sister (sister through breastfeeding). 

Given this relationship, I am unsure if it is permissible for my daughter to marry her cousin. Could you please provide clarity on this matter according to Islamic principles?

Q: My husband and I have been married for 20 years and we have tried our best to have children during this time. I have pursued fertility treatments for 16 years but was unable to conceive. After numerous consultations and duaas we decided to opt for adoption and 2 years ago welcomed a baby boy through that in our lives. 

Now with no treatment of any kind, I have conceived SubhanAllah. It has been 6 weeks and my body has shown numerous signs of health issues. I have been hospitalized twice for various conditions that doctors cannot treat until the end of pregnancy. I was also recently diagnosed with diabetes, under active thyroid and debilitating anxiety and for all those I am required to take medication. 

The baby seems to be okay for now, but the toll on my health so early on is unprecedented. I live in the United States and here doctors never tell you what’s right for you. They only present the conditions and let patients decide. 

In a situation like this, where both physical and mental health are compromised is abortion allowed as a consideration?

Q: My family and I denied many good proposals in the past. Now I am regretting it so much. Now I am not getting any good proposals. I often think and worry whether it was because of my own wrong decision that I didn't get those good proposal whom I denied by making a wrong decision or I didn't get them because it was Allah's decision. Please clarify.

Q: Angels curse a woman who does not allow her husband to touch her without a valid reason. What ruling is there for such a husband who ignores his wife despite her making it obvious.

Q: If a father gifts his property to one son only instead of all the legal heirs during his life, in this connection is the said gifted property is valid or not under Islamic law? 

Q: What's the best duas to protect oneself from masturbation and pornography?

Q: How does one bring about shariat law in him and his family?

The wife is working and does not want to wear purdah. All her belief systems are being influenced by shaytaan.

What method and according to Islamic teachings can one use to bring love for Deen upon his spouse and children?
