Abusing one's mother
Q: If a woman brings her ill mother to her home as there is no one to look after her, but her husband is not pleased with that and mentally tortures her and gives her a very tough time. That woman gets angry on her mother and beats her. But later she realised and said sorry and felt very guilty. Is there any kuffara for that and if she really is guilty will Allah Ta'ala forgive her as she always asks forgiveness for her act and she is guilty by heart.

Passport Photos
Q: Referring to http://muftionline.co.za/node/3767
1. you could say in the above the order of تصوير/the إكراه is معلق with a مباح action (Travelling). It is not necessary to do this مباح action. And if you dont do the مباح action there is no إكراه. So when إكراه بالحرام is معلق with a مباح action is it permissible to do that مباح action?
2. Before you start the travelling there is no أمر to take تصوير. So when you take the تصوير there is no إكراه/ command. So if you know there will be إكراه in the future is it permissible to do the impermissible action from before?
Taking out Passport photos
Q: The Ulama prevent us from having CCTV saying that it is tasweer (photos of animate objects) and tasweer is not permissible in shariat, yet they allow taking out passport photos. After one has completed one’s Fard Hajj there is no need for one to travel, hence travelling is just something permissible. So how can one perpetrate a haraam by taking out passport photos just in order to fulfil a permissible need?
