Q: I just applied for a part-time job and they require that I remove my pardah (niqaab). I usually do not wear it in my home town due to my home situation as a revert and my family is against it and out of respect for them I do not wear it. However I made the intention to wear it full time even though my family would still disagree. 

My question is: What is the ruling on this and would it be advisable to wear it even though it may cause arguing and tension at home, and should I ever take off my niqaab (in future) for the sake of a job?

Q: If I find any stray cat, I don't know if the cat belongs to anyone. There is no belt or collar or anything. I tried to look if anybody is searching for his cat. 

If it seems that nobody is claiming it or somebody has intentionally left it, can I take it and give it to someone who will take care of it? The cat will not be able to get food and survive well on its own on streets.

Q: My question is with regards to the Qur'aan cube/speaker. Is it permissible to keep the Quraan playing in the home while cooking, doing mundane daily tasks and leaving the Quraan playing while being in another room? Is this disrespectful to the Quraan Shareef or can it be done with the intention of protection and bringing barakah in the home?
