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?
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.)
Q: I have a strong desire to die. In this world I can't do anything, that's why I want to die.

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.

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.

Q: We play indoor net cricket, which has the per hour payment. We usually play on "lose to pay" basis, that the losing team will pay 100% of the payment of the indoor net. Is it haram or permissible?

Q: I am awake from 2 o'clock till Fajr time but after Fajr I feel extremely tired can I rest? Because I know after Fajr is a mubarak time to engage in zikr of Allah.
Q: Where I'm working, I know the people quite well. I've been working here for about 3 years or so now.
They give me duties to do, example, to take their mother or wife or sister to go shopping or to transport them from one place to another.
I personally don't like doing that because they are non mahram. My wife gets angry with me when I do those things and she doesn't speak to me.
If I do tell my boss that I can't do those duties, I know personally they will fire me or treat me differently although they are Muslims. What should I do?
Q: My children's father is addicted to drugs.
I do not feel comfortable with them spending time in his company & I'm advising them to help him with food only if he gets sick as I feel they are enabling his habit. He manipulates them to feel sympathy for him & uses them for money, transport, food etc. Am I incorrect for doing this?
