Watching drama series

Q: I would like to ask if it is permissible to watch dramas like Yunus Emre or Kurlus Osman or any other Turkish dramas which are not inappropriate. What about animated movies which have romance and time travel isekai which means to go into a book or another body being alive again and stuff like that. 

I won't believe anything like that. It is just for fun and all this during the time when I have menses or any other free time. If not, are there any other halal ways of entertainment other then spending time with family?

Video calling

Q: I travel quite often out of town for work purposes. Can I call my wife and children via a video call to see how they are doing? The call will not be recorded

Keeping a non-mahram as a Facebook friend and conveying salaam to non-mahrams

Q: 

Can I keep a non mahram as a Facebook friend? If I don't talk with them unnecessarily & don't post any photo of mine? Will it be considered as zina for me? Can I give likes to the posts of non mahrams or will it be considered as zina? 

Can I give salam to my non mahram relatives? Will it be considered as zina?

Making taubah for one's past

Q: I have committed a lot of sins to the point where my life is on the line. 

I heard a talk about if someone doesn't have enough good deeds to account for their bad deeds Allah takes it for their state like: making them lonely, taking away their salaah and imaan, etc. I am kinda in that state and I want to repent and make tawbah but I don't know how. 

What dua do I make? Do I pray salaah like normal? Do I read specific durood? Are their specific steps? Do I need to make ghusal? What do I do? 

Please give me a LOT of advice on how to repent and strengthen my imaan (e.g. duas ,extra prayers, etc.)

Watching movies and drama shows

Q: I would like to ask if it is permissible to watch dramas like Yunus Emre or Kurlus Osman or any other Turkish dramas which are not inappropriate during the time when I have menses or any other free time. If not, are there any other halal ways of entertainment other then spending time with family?

Aafiyah Healing, Bodytalk & Reiki

Q: With regards to the permissibility of using Aafiyah Healing, Bodytalk & Reiki as alternate healing/treatment, the treatment which is of great concern is one which is carried out by a practitioner abroad. 

All she requires are names of patients, other family members and maybe a few other details. 

There are no one on one consultations, to the extent she can tell things about patients and their problems even whilst the patient is asleep.
