Q: What is the correct time for qailoolah? If a person rests even before zawal e.g. 11 am, would this also be considered qailoolah?

Q: If a drug addict live with us and he steals our things and just make life so difficult for us, is it wrong of me to not give that person food? We used to give before, for years we just looked pass it but now I stopped and I feel so bad about it. Will Allah be displeased with me if I don't want to give anymore? If drug addicts ask for food is it also wrong to refuse them after we know that they spend their money on drugs and depend on the community to help them with food. I love to give and used to give anyone that came at my door but the drug addicts are persistent.

Q: I have a question regarding the hereafter. I currently know that I made mistakes in my past where I've eavesdropped and seen in other people's houses in the past. I don't ever intend to do it again but I have no idea on how to contact all the people that I have done this to. (It's impossible for me to find some random people). How can I resolve this issue and does Allah forgive major sins on the day of qiyamah and can he forgive my sin on that day when it comes to doing wrong to others like my self. I have a bad feeling that I'm going to get punished indefinitely and I all I want to do is resolve this issue.

Q: The response of Muslims to legislation and actions of the government that harm Muslims within the country and outside is to start a petition to get the government to stop their proposed action. This now seems to be the default Muslim position. If you ask them whether they made Istighfaar, Du'a, performed Salatul Hajat, they would say no. In any case, there is little or no evidence that such petitions make a difference. The outcome is almost always the same. Based on the above my question are as follows: 1. What is the point of Muslims drawing up and/or signing petitions? 2. What examples do we have from the Seerah of how Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) dealt with oppression against the Muslims from the people of Makkah?
