Q: I have always known that the fragrance of Jannah will be haraam for a woman that does not wear hijab and that it is compulsory on woman to wear it in Islam. However, I never really let that soak in until very recently when I started wearing the hijab. Nobody has ever ostricized me for it and I was gaining confidence and starting to be comfortable about going out with it. I was starting to tell myself that I look better with hijab than without it even though I didn't really believe that. The other day my mother just ruined it all. She kept making little hints but the other day she couldn't handle it any more and told me that I'm becoming too holy and that I don't have to act like an old lady and wear scarf all the time. She said that it's more difficult for women who wear hijab to get married because boys like modern girls. When I began crying she tried to cover up what she initially said by telling me that she only meant I should take it off when sitting privately with friends in a coffee shop etc which made zero sense because obviously there would be male waiters around. She said that she just meant I would feel more comforable and fit in better without my scarf on. I never felt very uncomfortable or odd with it but after she said that I do. She apologized and my father explained to her how we're meant to stick to Allah's commands no matter what etc. The matter was closed and everybody moved past it but I can't get over it. I still wear scarf but now I feel like I look like an old lady in it. I tie it properly and try my best to dress nicely and look neat but she still makes me feel like I look like an old lady and it has broken my confidence like she often does. I am still very hurt by this and want to gain my confidence back but I don't know what to do. I have no idea how to feel about this. What do I do to console myself and is there a dua I can read to be more confident and not care about opinions?

Q: I need to know what is the ruling regarding a man giving money to a female knowing fair well that she uses the money to practise sihr. There is evidence in which she has admitted it and the person has forwarded messages. Also this man is no longer married to this female but financially supports her but doesn't support his wife.

Q: Is it still not permissible to end your life if you can't take it anymore and if the hurting becomes more than bearable? What should you do if that's the only option left for you?

Q: Our relatives mostly are hypocrites. Sometimes they openly say that they worship snakes etc... And also mention that they have jinn's (supernatural powers), they say that they instruct that power to do work and it will happen for real! They know that Alhamdulillah we will never go in these acts what they are doing, there is always like a competition between them and us, although we read muawwazatein, aayatul kursi, aamanar rasulu, sure kahf for protective purpose. After we meet them, at least one of us suffers severe headache, and bone pains and back pain like our bones are crushing and muscles are twisting. It happens for the entire night. The next day we will be normal. Also, they don't have manners, before they come to our home (without informing us), any member of our family opens the door for any work, they just come into the room and sit down. They sometimes give us a warning that "see that one hadn't obeyed us and now he is suffering from this disease" they always warn us like that, before they arrive or after they go from our home, my parents always fight (very harshly).  I ask you for a powerful dua from the Quran and hadith which resist's all the bad powers from the hypocrites and their supernatural attackings.

Q:

1. If someone had unlawful acts/relations more than one time/many times, with his married paternal aunt (father's sister) and then with the same paternal aunts' daughter in law (son's wife). Also with same paternal aunt's daughter. His actions were such that perhaps hurmat maybe established, meaning anything but not actual zina. He is a single adult and lives away from them. What is the status of the marriages of his marries parental aunt, the same aunt's daughter in law and the same aunt's daughter? He has asked someone, and being told all of them's marriages are still valid.

2. Also, how to repent in this case? Mufti Taqi Usmani says, you can seek forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala by making sincere repentance, then you should have hope and forget your past sins, trust Allah's mercy... Allah's mercy is so vast, he can and does forgive any sin, no matter what.

Q:

1. I don't know if this is going to the extremes, but is it permissible to take an ear medication (through the ear) that contains glycerin which may or may not come from animal fat?

2. If that's the case, would that make soaps also impermissible?

Q: Is it allowed for girls to learn fashion designing in Islamic fashion?

Q: I want to ask, if a boy had intercourse with his sister but he was not doing it intentionally with his sister. He also had intercourse with his girlfriends, will he be forgiven?
