Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Q: Can a married couple have marital relations when one of their children in the house has chickenpox?

Q: I am a 53 year old divorced female. My first cousin is 62 and he is recently divorced. We are both single, and are considering making Nikah. Because our families are very close, we are afraid that if we have a public Nikah, and the marriage subsequently does not work, this will cause immense stress on the entire family. Is it possible for us to do a non-public / secret Nikah for a while and then if all works out, we will then tell the family that we are married.

Q: If a husband defends his wife infront of his parents (as they are on the wrong side) and they get angry then how should a husband maintain his role of kuwam towards his wife as the parents wants to make their decisions. Also, they want the wife to serve them in all household chores on her own. In this situation what can a husband do?

Q: I was diagnosed with psoriasis 3 years back. When it initially came, it was bad where my body was almost covered with it. Upon taking the treatment biologics injections, it cleared rapidly in 2-3 months.

Since Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition I have to keep it in control and according to doctors it cannot be cured completely, but there are medications which can keep it in control. I know few people who have been cured from it (remission).

After this initial major outbreak, I was pretty much clear from it by the grace of Allah for the past 3 years.

Only this year, in 2023, it was a little bad for around 6 months where 5-8% of my body was covered, according to the doctor since i was off my medication for 1.5 years.

When I was on medication I used to get few plaques during winters which covered around 3% of the body and they got cleared in summers in 2-4 months. Rest of the months I was 99.9% clear of it.

Now I have started the medication again and it is in control where I have around 1-2% of involvement and hoping it will be cleared in 1-2 months inshallah. I take injections once every month now.

Other than this condition I am healthy and normal and I also work by Allah's grace.

I am planning to get married. Given my history of this condition should I inform my prospective spouse about this condition. I feel nobody will be interested after I inform them about it. So I am not able to take a decision due to this. Doctors told me that it is perfectly okay to get married living with this condition.

Q: Is it permissible for a woman to ask for a continuous payment for mahr?

For example, asking for 1000 in currency after a year of marriage.

Q: I wanted to ask if there is a lady and she has a husband who has had an affair which she recently discovered was also physical in nature for 2 years or so with a married woman, is the nikaah nullified for the wife?

As this husband continues to commit adultery and simultaneously have relationship with the wife? If the marriage is not nullified, what dua should one make for reconciliation after such deceit?

Q: Is it permissible for a girl to get married to her real sister's milk brother?

A lady named "Aisha" breastfed Muhammad who is her son, and Fathima - who is Aishas sisters daughter.

Fathima has a sister named Zainub, who has not been breastfed by her Khala (Aisha).

Can Muhammad, who is Fathimas milk brother, marry Zainub - who is his milk sister's real sister?

Q:

1. I had a missed miscarriage at 8 and half weeks of pregnancy. I conceived at a late stage as I was blessed with nikaah much later in my life. I am much devastated with the miscarriage.

My question is, will the miscarried foetus go to heaven or it never existed (as if there was no rooh in it)?

2. Furthermore, I had a dnc done but after three weeks post procedure I'm still bleeding. Please advise on the process for salaah and Quraan. 

Q: I was the youngest of my 6 brothers and 2 sisters. My chacha and chachi didn't have a child of their own so they adopted me. The name on my ID card is not of my original father. Is this fine or should I change the name on my ID?
