Acquiring Deeni Knowledge

Q: Please recommend some kitaabs for women to read and take benefit from.

Q:

1. Which book is better for studying the Hanafi madhab; Mukhtasr al Quduri vs bahshti zewar?

2. Also, please state the reasons on the basis you preferred either of the two.

Q: Is there any punishment for forgetting Islamic knowledge such as Ahaadeeth Sharief that were by hearted as there is forgetting the Quraan Sharief?

Q: Some say that it is not good to get information about Islam via the internet. Should I perhaps stop asking questions via email for this reason?

Q: Girls and boys aged from 6 to 16 are sitting in the same hall where they can easily see each other. Some girls and boys up to the age of 12 are made to sit on the same table because they are on a similar level of learning. Male teachers are teaching girls up to the age of 16 years old.

Is this permissible or not, and is there any fatwa relating to it?

Q: In the times of fitnah that we are living in, should we send our daughters to a girl's madrasah? If need be, should they stay or stay at home and travel? Or should we give them the correct Deeni education at home?

Q: There is much confusion amongst people of knowledge regarding the term, 'difference of opinion'. Many students and scholars alike latch onto this term when it comes to social distancing in salaah and the closure of Masaajid. To clarify this dilemma, please provide us with guidance regarding the following:

1. Is social distancing in Salaah and Musjid closure a valid difference of opinion?

2. What are the limits of and what type of valid difference of opinions ought to be respected?

Q: I recently attended a nikaah where the mufti gave a lecture... He quoted Shakespeare about love... Is it permissible to quote kaafirs even though we don't follow their ways? 

Q: Is it a sunnah method of teaching the Quraan to hit the student when they do not know their work? I know Islam advocates hitting the child for missing salaah after 10 years and to spare the rod is to spoil the child, but is it the way of the sunnah and the Sahaabah to hit the student for making mistakes while learning the Quraan?

Q: I am currently studying in a medical university. I want to share Islamic knowledge with my classmates. Is it permissible for me to make a WhatsApp group of my classmates, including both male and female, and then share Islamic knowledge on that group. There will be NO personal contact with any female.

There are already many other WhatsApp groups in which the whole class is added for study discussions. So if I use the same platform to spread Islamic knowledge, is it permissible?
