Acquiring Deeni Knowledge

Creating a WhatsApp group of males and females to share Islamic knowledge

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?

Independently studying Hadith compilation

Q: Recently I have been doing a lot of research on hadith compilation as a result I was introduced to a new subject in Islamic history. Honestly this is something very new for me, I didn’t know that there existed so many different schools of thought like Murijites, Khawarijites, Mutazilites and the Ahle Sunnah who are in modern times also identified as the Orthodox or Traditionalists. Furthermore if I am not wrong, each school was declaring the other group as kafirs because of competing viewpoints.

Can one group consider the other to be out of the fold of Islam? 

Fuqahaa explaining the parameters of Deen

Q: In Bahishti Zewar, there are many masaail that speak about a husband who can have sexual intercourse with a minor. There was 1 certain masa'ala that (if a husband has sexual intercourse with a minor where there is a fear of her vaginal tissues coming together then ghusl is not fard upon her pg. 74 quoted briefly).

Mas'ala was quite graphic and gave me a headache just by thinking about it. My question is, won't that be considered as paedophilia. Does Islam really allow having intercourse with minors. If not then why are these masaail mentioned in Fiqhi books. Your detailed explanation will highly be appreciated.
