Q: Is it permissible to keep a taxidermy - e.g. a person caught a live fish and he wishes to frame that fish... or he went hunting and wishes to keep the (trophy) head of the animal in his lounge.

Would this by any chance fall under the hukm of tasweer?

Q: I would like to make royal icing biscuits. Are we allowed to make unicorns and animals or doll shapes with closed eyes or no eyes? Or should we not make those shapes at all and only make flowers etc?

Q: There is a dispute between my mother and I regarding the cat which I keep in my house. My mother wants me to remove the cat from the house, whereas I want to keep the cat, and this causes us to fight.

I live separately with my wife and I am not even living with my mother, yet she has made a huge fuss for me to remove the cat from the house and I am not willing to do that.

Please guide me as to what I should do? We have extreme love for cats, but now my mother seldom visits our home and only comes perhaps twice a month.

Q: There's been a debate about the different forms of weed/cannabis that can be taken. Apparently smoking it is different from eating it in a brownie or maybe a gum form. Is this allowed? Or is any form of this product permissible?

Is it allowed for medical purposes? Maybe anxiety/depression etc.? Please advise .

Q: Is it permissible to train or practice Karate?

In Karate, people normally give a short bow as a greeting. Is this permitted?

Q: My father constructed a comfortable house for us. However, from the time we started living in the house, my complete family, including my parents, my siblings and I, are not happy at all. We do not know what to do and why our hearts are not at peace in this house. Kindly suggest some solution because we are extremely tense.

Q: It is necessary for women to make pardah of their names? Some argue that we know the names of our Sahaabiyyah رضى الله عنها. Can Mufti Saheb please explain.

Q: What intention should one make when purchasing a firearm?

Q: I'm the daughter, married and have a baby but still live with my parents as they won't allow me to get my own house.

My mother takes my bank card and spends without my permission nor tells me how much she spent. Is this allowed in Islam? Or is it theft.

Also, she leaves my card in her pocket and now my brother spent nearly £600 without me knowing.
