Q: Is there any way to know if Allah Ta'ala has forgiven you for good? Meaning, no matter what happens to your life, you will enter Jannah. 

Q: My mother purchased a trolley online which will help her when she buys groceries. We could choose different designs and one of the designs was one which had multiple prints of cartoon owls on them. We didn’t buy that one and opted for a suitable one but the owl one was mistakenly delivered. Is it permissible to keep it? I don’t want to go through the hassle of having it returned because it is a big product and I think with bigger products we need to pay more for it to be returned.

Q:

1. Is it permissible to do Acupuncture and massage therapy to treat illness?

2. If the needles have to be put in the stomach, back, legs, etc. in the area between the navel and knees,w ill it be permissible?

3. Sometimes these pressure points are massaged instead of using needles. Will this be permissible?

Q: I just want to know that I shared some Ahaadith on Facebook but one person commented on these Ahaadith using very bad words nauzubillah. I don't know who he or she is. It seems like a girl's name. Anyway, he or she wrote too much against my post. I tried to control my anger but I could not, so I personally messaged him or her. I wrote to her bad words too. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong?

Q: If a person is not talking to another Muslim then their repentence is not accepted. If this is true and a Muslim isn't speaking to another because he insulted him or a loved one and hence isn't talking, and repents to Allah for his past sins, his repentence and sins won't be forgiven by Allah because he isn't speaking to a Muslim?

If that is the case then how can one get their sins forgiven. Everyone has atleast someone they don't speak to because of something they said or did.

What if the Muslim he isn't talking to lives far away and he repents to Allah for  sins, will his repentence not be valid?

Is it true that Allah won't accept someone's repentence because they aren't speaking to another Muslim?

Q: I'd like to know what does haamidan wa musalliyan mean? And why do your'll write it? Is it a sunnah?

Q: I would like to buy and keep a dog to start a mobile security dog service business. I would be keeping the dog to patrol empty businesses and warehouses. I will be keeping the dog outside in the small garden in a kennel at home. Is this allowed in Islam? Will I be able to pray in a mosque with the clothes I wear when I’m going to work and using the dog and at home. 

Q: My father has married our old housemaid secretly two years ago. We have recently found this out.

I have been financing his house and my own house for the last eight years. I have two disabled sisters and my mother in his household while I have my own daughter and husband in my household. I have been bearing the expenses of both the houses because my father told me he is saving money for our future. He has now spent all his savings on his second wife while I continue to finance his house as I have been doing. He does not pay a single dirham to my mother or myself for anything and his demands increase every day. He is also very verbally abusive.

My three day old son died and he made my pregnancy very stressful by his constant fighting and he fought very badly with me a week after my son died. He tells me that taking care of my sisters and himself is my Islamic duty and that he has finished fulfilling his Islamic duty before he got a second wife.

He is now only financing his second wife while he continues to stay with us. He is also selling the property that I thought I would inherit one day and he insists I have no right on that property as well. He is building a house for his second wife in her name.

Please advise me, from an Islamic point of view, what is my duty in this situation? Is what I am doing my Islamic duty? Will I punished in the afterlife for withdrawing financial support for my disabled sisters and mother? How am I supposed to deal with my father's behaviour in the view of Islam? 

Q: Does one have to be in a pure state and pure clothes for repentence to be accepted?

Q: I had love affairs and also fulfilled sexual desires with the girls I had affairs with. But then I got married and have 2 kids. Now I think that if I do it or go for non means, I will be punished in the form of my children doing it. So please give me a solution to the problem. If I marry someone, my parents and my wife's parents will be against me.
