Q: If a father touches the bare skin of his step daughter with lust in the dark because he thought that it was his wife, but when he finds out that it was his step daughter, he moves away immediately. Will hurmat musaaharah be established?

Q: If I marry a second wife while I am in financial difficulty? Can I treat each wife according to my financial capacity? I will request both of them to accept my financial position. Can I marry a second wife with her consent of supporting her with only a monthly budget of 20000 rupees.

Q: Wouldn't it be permissible for a husband to check his wife's phone and her messages in WhatsApp and social media? I have seen some Ulama say it is not permissible because it is her private interactions. But I was confused about what they said. How else can you ensure that your wife is not falling into something bad? Isn't it like checking your child's phone?

Q: Please can mufti advise on the following:

1. In Sha Allah I’m getting married soon, and I would like to know what are the prerequisites for a walimah to take place ? Does the nikaah have to be physically consummated?

2. If nikaah takes place after asr and then the couple spends some time in seclusion and then thereafter a little while later the walimah takes place, is this incorrect ?

3. Will the nikaah and walimah be invalid if the marriage isn’t physically consummated? Please also can mufti clarify what consummation entails if physical consummation isn’t necessary, e.g. how long does the couple need to spend together in seclusion.

Q: I intend making non animate toys for children. Will it be permissible to add a bell into the toy stuffing. This will give the rattle sound for baby toys.

Q: I am in a little confusion. I can't make up my mind. My in laws are visiting us for 3 months that includes my sister in law and father in law. My mother in law had passed away. My husband wants me to live in the same house with my brother in law and his wife along his father and sister. We will have our private rooms but will share the kitchen and lounge. I am not willing to live in the same house as I think its against my privacy. I am demanding to provide me a separate home. Am I wrong here? Or saying this to my husband is wrong?

Q: Is it permissible for a father-in-law to shake hands with his son's wife when greeting each other? The father in law is 58 years old and the daughter in law is 20.
