Q: I have a question that my wife is pregnant for the second time. We have one more baby Alhamdulillah. In a couple of days, we have seen that we have lost our first child and later we got her in the dream. We want to give Sadaqah of our first child as well as of the baby who is in his/her mother womb. So is it possible that we can give Sadaqah of the child who is supposed to come in Duniya very soon?

Q: I want to know that if a child was expected to do certain things (provide,work etc) for the family by a certain age even when having other responsibilities isn't it only fair to expect all the other children, when they reach that age to be expected to do the same (especially since they have lesser responsibility than the first child did) as in Islam all the children should be treated equally, so just like they will have give driving lessons to the others as they did for the first child the same way the other children should be expected to do the same chores and work for the family the way the first child did.

Q: By the grace of Allah Almighty I have been blessed to be a mother (second time). My first child had congenital abnormalities including heart and intestine issues. He passed away after six months. Can you please guide me to do what during this duration in order to stay safe ? I recite Quran regularly (Alhamdulillah), recite manzil and some good books also. Due to my condition I have been advised to have bed rest. Lying whole day all alone makes me frustrated and depressed. I feel so lazy I don't want to do anything and at times I feel so low. Kindly guide me some zikr that I should make.
