Islamic games on WhatsApp groups

Q: I have a question regarding my mother’s WhatsApp Islamic group. She spends most of her time on her WhatsApp Islamic group playing games related to Hadith and Quraanic aayaat. One groups name is Quraan Rapid Fire. All are ladies players, but none of them are Aalimaa and scholars. They just search the internet for answers. It seems unpleasant and inappropriate to me and my father. Your suggestion in order to avoid arguments and confusion will be much appreciated.

Mother cursing daughter

Q: I have a best friend and when she was young her mother always used bad words or would curse her saying "Go and eat so and so pooh". Presently she feels that because her mother used these words, her life is miserable. She always struggles in life with work and even with her proposals. Whenever she gets a good proposal, it breaks up and she feels guilty because Allah Talla accepted her mothers curse. She even helped her mother whenever she was hospitalized and financially. What is the Islamic way how on how a daughter should be treated? What would be the status of the mother on the day of judgement and how can my friend overcome this situation? She always repents to Allah for these curses.

Asking for forgiveness after doing wrong to someone

Q:

1. If a person wronged someone either at the age of 11 or under the age of 11 and didn't know the difference between right and wrong, will they be punished as they did not reach the age of puberty yet and sins are only accounted for once a person reaches puberty?

2. A person wronged someone and asked for their forgiveness and they forgave them. The wrongdoer doesn't remember whether they had asked forgiveness for the specific wrong they did or whether they asked in general, like forgiveness for any wrong or the wrong they did to then. They also repented to Allah and didn't do the wrong again. Is this enough?

3. If 2 people do a sin and the person didn't think they were doing wrong or harm to another person, does forgiveness need to be taken from the other person? The other person cannot be gotton into contact with. They have repented to Allah and have not done those sins again.

Parents washing and bathing their disabled son

Q: I have a seven year old son that is disabled.

Since he is incapable of seeing to his needs, his mother and I attend to him and bath him, change his diapers, wash him, change his clothing, etc.

1. We always try to attend to him in private so that his satr is not exposed to people unnecessarily. However, is it permissible for us to look at his satr while bathing him, changing his diaper, etc, to ensure that it has been cleaned adequately?

2. When performing his istinjaa and cleaning his satr area, I do so with my bare hand. Sometimes, I need to apply medication to these areas as well and do so with my bare hand. Is this permissible?

3. When he gets older, will it be impermissible for his mother to attend to these needs of his? If so, at what age will this apply?
