Q: I recently heard someone say that it is permissible for the sister-in-law to not make parda from her brother-in-law when: 

1. There is no scope of fitna. 

2. When it becomes difficult for her to leave her own room for basic needs. 

My friend has recently married into a family of 6. They live in a small flat. Her brother-in- law is 6 years younger than her and she claims he is an actual replica of her brother in her maternal home. There isn't a chance that they can ever be alone. It becomes difficult for her to constantly be in her cloak, burkha and pardah the entire day almost as if she is at a guests home and not in a home that she has a right to stay in. What is the ruling regarding this?

Q: Is it permissible to create bitmoji on snapchat and on other apps for fun and also putting anime profile pictures?

Q: I repented from a bad Dua is it enough? It wouldn't happen now right? I am really depressed

Q: My mother complained that the bags that people put next to a tree on our road gets collected quickly and that we are needlessly keeping unwanted furniture etc. in our house when it can get collected quickly and for free. She threw some of our bags in that area. 

I told her fly-tipping is wrong but she says that everyone does it. Fly-tipping is considered illegal and finable. I’m worried that she may be sinning by doing so. Does she have to repent? I’m also worried that I may have aided her as she asked for a bag to collect the waste to throw out and I reluctantly gave her.

Q: Can I give kaffarah for someone if I curse him during Ramadaan fast?

Q: I would like to know if it's permissible to say allahuma barik instead of Masha Allah and what is the difference? I was taught to say Masha'Allah but I have seen others say allahuma barik.

Q: I wanted to ask if listening to subliminals is permissible in Islam. If the intention is to use it as a positive affirmation like to boost confidence and motivation, especially while studying. I don't want to listen to music or anything haraam, so I was thinking of using subliminals with natural sounds, like rain, and without any audible words. Would this be okay from an Islamic perspective?

Q: A woman doesn't observe pardah (covering her face). 

She works in a home. There is a man and a woman. The man observes pardah from her. When she comes to work, she comes walking and without pardah. The employees have tried to encourage her to wear pardah but to no avail. 

Now she is offered a job at another place. There it is not clear who she will come into contact with. 

My question is, if a person suggests for her to take the job, is the person sinful because she will come into contact with men. She isn't observing pardah, she is also leaving the house to come to work, so on the way she is going to come across men.

Q: If a female who was born out of wedlock and raised by her maternal grandparents as their own, who is her Mahram? 

Does her uncles, her mother's brothers become her Mahram? Will her brother, they share the same mother but not father become her Mahram? 

And are her male cousins, sons of her mother's sister's and brother's become her Mahram?

Q: I am part of an archery organization in which, for training purposes and competitions 3D foam animal targets are used.
