Rights of people

Q: I live in a shared apartment with 5 other men. Is it okay to not share my things with my roommates if they don't care for their own things in use.

For example, they don't wash their blankets and use mine as I try to keep my blanket clean and washed. Should I compromise my health and cleanliness or first take care of my basic needs and then share if I can. Please tell me as I don't want to be greedy in Allah's sight.

Q: I'm engaged and soon going to get married to the man I'm engaged with. He does not like my siblings because they have caused me harm in the past and are causing me harm in the present too. If I don't talk to my siblings at all for the sake of my husband, will that be counted as qat-e-ta'alluq? Kindly guide me as I'm in a very serious situation where I have to choose.

Q: We have asked some people after some authentic proof if they are Qadiyaanis but they are denying it and saying that there is nothing like that but the person who told us about them is a very close blood relation. They are denying all of these. Now we are in a fix as to what to do. Whom should we believe?

Q: Not disclosing information due to fear of envy. Is it okay to avoid a question or not answer it truthfully out of fear of envy and jealousy?

During my last pregnancy, I shared the good news openly with my immediate family, not thinking that they would be jealous. I went through quite a few problems after. Since then I have come to realise through experience that some of my family are very envious especially my sister in law. This time I don’t feel right to share any good news with them at all. I can see from their facial expressions and actions that they do not rejoice in my happiness so now that I have gotten good news Alhamdulillah I feel like keeping it discreet.

I am confused and need to know if this is even okay. I don’t want to displease Allah by lying. Allah is The Protecter, but at the same time I don’t know if I should keep this news to myself, as I have read it in a Hadith. Please advise me as to what is the best approach Islamically.

Q: What is the most number of days that people should not talk to each other because they are upset with each other?

Could you explain why it's wrong to not talk to one another please. 

Q: Please advise me on the following and how I should respond.

I have been attending a musjid for a considerably long period ever since I moved into the area like 6-7 years. Whilst attending the musjid, nobody was welcoming and friendly. I'm quite wealthy, but I dont like showing of my wealth so I remain as a normal person, no fancy car, everything normal. Actually under normal, you won't even want a lift in my car.

So after some years, people started to find out that I'm actually wealthy, and now they starting to be friendly, and make conversation. I greet but I feel they only doing this now because they know I'm rich? Specific people have been racist to me straight for 6 years, but when they found out about the companies I own, their attitude changed.

I was brought up to think that its not the wealth or the lineage or race that is important but his belief in Allah Ta'ala and his pious nature. How must I interact with these people because they cleary like me because of money and nothing else. I have been testing them and gave them 6-7 years.
