Q: Few days back my brother who is engaged had hijama done, at first only water oozed out and then slowly the dirty blood, the doctor said he had effects of jadoo as there was not much blood in his body and he lay cold and sweating after hijama. Moreover he used to pray very rarely before the hijama but now he is praying regulary alhamdulillah. But now he is against getting married. Please advice as to what we should do.

Q: Is it still not permissible to end your life if you can't take it anymore and if the hurting becomes more than bearable? What should you do if that's the only option left for you?

Q: Our relatives mostly are hypocrites. Sometimes they openly say that they worship snakes etc... And also mention that they have jinn's (supernatural powers), they say that they instruct that power to do work and it will happen for real! They know that Alhamdulillah we will never go in these acts what they are doing, there is always like a competition between them and us, although we read muawwazatein, aayatul kursi, aamanar rasulu, sure kahf for protective purpose. After we meet them, at least one of us suffers severe headache, and bone pains and back pain like our bones are crushing and muscles are twisting. It happens for the entire night. The next day we will be normal. Also, they don't have manners, before they come to our home (without informing us), any member of our family opens the door for any work, they just come into the room and sit down. They sometimes give us a warning that "see that one hadn't obeyed us and now he is suffering from this disease" they always warn us like that, before they arrive or after they go from our home, my parents always fight (very harshly).  I ask you for a powerful dua from the Quran and hadith which resist's all the bad powers from the hypocrites and their supernatural attackings.

Q: My father is head of security of the place where we live. Its his duty to impound those bikes or cars which is driven by underage drivers or if a driver is not wearing a helmet. One day my father saw a boy driving a bike. He was underage and was not wearing a helmet. My father hooted to stop him but he increased the speed of his bike. My father did the same and he further increase the speed. The boy stopped his bike and hid himself and bike in his house. My father stopped his car near his house and asked his friend to tell him the name of biker. My father was angry at that time and he kept asking the boy for the name of the boy. He said he doesnt know, then he started swearing my father. Everytime my father asked his name, he kept on lying. So then my father said that if you wont tell me I will take you to jail. He kept on making excuses and kept on lying. Due to my fathers anger, he held the boy from the collar and slapped him on his face, even after all this he didn't tell my father. My father called a policeman and when the policeman asked the boy, the boy told him. What my father did, was it right or wrong? If it was wrong, what is its kaffara without telling or asking the boy whom my father slapped.
