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.

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.

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.
