new house

Q: While reading through your fatwas I came across one topic that has drawn my attentions. The fatwa was about "Moving into a new home". At the end part of the article there was a statement which read as follows:-"Hadhrat Ibn Mas'ood (Radhiyallahu Anhu) has reported that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "A deserted house is one in which the Holy Qur'an is not recited."" I just wanted to know that, whether reading Namaz can be considered as recitation of Quran, as we read verses of the Holy Qur'an while performing salat itself?

Q: We live in one area.. I have grown up and stayed all my life there.. My parents are nearby.. My friends.. Masjid where I offer my salats.. My wife says she is all alone the whole day and got no company.. It's not that she isn't provided with a shelter or security.. Now she wants to move to a place in an area where her sister's resides... She is pressurising the husband to let go of the current residence and move to the area where her sister's stay... Not that where we are currently staying is a bad place or the husband is denying her shelter.. And she is doing all this under the pretext that it's her right as a wife and I should comply... Is this jayaz permissible or has the husband got a right to give in to her demands.. 

Q: Please can you advise me when buy a new house what duas/prayers should be made. That is when you take the keys do you need to do anything and when you actually take occupation what should be done. 

Q: When one moves into one's new home, what Aa'maal should be carried out in order to bring blessings to the home? Similarly, what can we read so that we can be protected from evil influences coming into the home?

Q: What should we do when moving into a new home in which a non-Muslim (hindu) lived? Should anything specific be read? Please give daleel.

Q: One of my family members has put in an offer and would probably end up purchasing an apartment that belonged to a deceased gay couple. Kindly advise if there is any part of the Qur'an, Duas or Wazifas that should be recited before occupying the place.

Q: I am moving into a new house. Is this better for everyone and a better choice for my husband and I?
