Q: What is the ruling of shariah with regards to taking pictures/videos of works of charity/welfare? Like digging a borehole, building masjids, food hampers, Qurbani, etc? Lot of Muslim organizations take pictures/videos of the charitable works done.

Q: I currently live in Pretoria and work in Jet Park (I travel about 128km a day to and from work). Currently I use my car everyday to work and back. I have previously looked at the Gautrain as an alternative, however it worked out a little too expensive for me.

Recently, my small brother informed me that he receives a discount on his Gautrain trips (as he is a student) but doesn't use this discount as his campus isn't so far and it's easier for him to drive. As he isn't using this discount- He had offered it to me to use his discount to travel to work.

My question - Would it be permissible to use his discount for my benefit (considering he is a student and I am not)?

Q: A man was taking care of his sisters (due to both parents passing away years back). He has now passed away, amongst his descendants there are 6 kids and a wife, of which only 1 baligh son aged 17.

The sister has 4 paternal uncles (papa's) and 3 maternal uncles (mamajees) and a sister. She is not fully mentally okay and needs someone to oversee her daily living.

Q: Are my maternal and paternal grandparents' brothers (e.g. naani's brother) my mahaarim? Someone said that they are not.

Q: I am currently sharing my mobile data supply with my friend who often uses the data to watch movies. Am I thus assisting in sin? Will I be accountable for all that he watches?

Q: What should I do when my mother is old and she has no one to look after her. My husband does not want me to take care my mother. I am the only child. My father passed away.

I told my husband that she does not have anyone to go to but he ruined her visa application so she cannot stay with me. I am sad to see her in pain but I don't know what to do? If I take her side then my husband blames baseless things in her.

What do I do in such a situation? He's not supporting me in this. He's also not a religious man and he does not pray at all. He does not follow Islam. There no family members that can step in and stop him.
