Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Adoption

Q: We are married for 5 years now but we still dont have any children. We want to adopt a newly born baby, please help us.

What to read during pregnancy

Q: What to read when pregnant:

1-3 month (Surah Luqman)

As the brains are formed - for a wise and clever child

3-6 month (Surah Yusuf)

As the face is formed - for a beautiful child

6-9 months (Surah Muhammad)

As the body is formed - Good manners and qualities of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Surah Maryam throughout the pregnancy for easy pregnancy and easy labour

Surah Al-Haaqqah - no defects and healthy child and baby will be saved from all calamities. 

Marrying a non-Muslim

Q: A Muslim brother is asking whether it is permissible to make nikaah to a non-Muslim (Hindu/Tamil). He is very keen on doing it the right way although the girl at the moment is not ready to read shahada. She is pregnant with his child and is willing to allow the child, when born, to be a practicing Muslim. What is the ruling for this brother?

Jokingly getting married

Q: Does a nikah done as a joke (just for the sake of fun) in a friends gathering without the presence of the wali, become valid?

Is it valid when the girl says yes just because of peer pressure of acceptance in a group and without having the knowledge of the sensitivity of this subject/issue of nikah.
