Q: Is it permissible to send Jummah Mubaarak messages as I have read the fatwa of Mufti Taqi Usmani that it is not good to send such messages as the later generations will think it as Sunnah which will be a bidat. And also any other messages like Eid Mubaarak and Fajr messages.

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: 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.
