Playing the Quraan in the home with the intention of protection and bringing barakah in the home

Q: My question is with regards to the Qur'aan cube/speaker. Is it permissible to keep the Quraan playing in the home while cooking, doing mundane daily tasks and leaving the Quraan playing while being in another room? Is this disrespectful to the Quraan Shareef or can it be done with the intention of protection and bringing barakah in the home?

Making dua for one's non Muslim parents who passed away on kufr

Q: A revert lady asks... If there's no forgiveness for a non Muslim who has passed away, what duaa can she make for her non Muslim parents who passed on. It causes much grief not to make duaa for them. 

Another revert student asks... How will we enjoy the beautiful bounties of jannah if our parents are not there to enjoy it with us and at the same time we know that they are in jahannam?

Serving one's parents while listening to their hurtful comments

Q: I left my home due to toxic and unjust family matters that were affecting me and my wife emotionally and mentally. I rented a home not too near not too far from my parents, and everyday I go to my parents house to do any work they want, as my father is a paralysis patient. Everyday I give him a massage and bath him and simultaneously listen to hurtful comments and smile and not reply so the atmosphere don't get more tense. Am I doing right or wrong and will any curse of my parents for me to Allah affect me?

Bacteria used in a probiotic

Q: The question is related to the bacteria used in a probiotic. 

Many years ago, a one time collection using an oral swab - like how a covid test is done - was obtained from a living infant. The bacteria was then isolated, identified, purified and mass produced after this single collection. 

The bacteria in this specific probiotic do not contain any human material or DNA. Bacteria don't come from humans. It is a separate entity so to speak. They are not part of the human body. 

Is it permissible to consume this medication?
