Interacting

Man counseling his female friend

Q: I am friends with a girl who is going through a lot of struggle mentally, this is happening since 2 years. I have been trying to help her and I have been listening to her cry most of the time. This has started affecting my mental health. As our Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to be there for a friend when the friend is sad and going through mental suffering. I wanted to know if it is right if I start distancing myself from her problems and start focusing on my mental health. She cries out to me and dumps her problems on my head and this is effecting me mentally. I just want to know if it will be right if I stop talking to her.

Giving dawah to non-mahrams

Q: I am a teen at the age of 17 and I am wondering if it is permissible for me to give Dawah to a non-mahram female. So I can keep in contact and choose her for marriage when Im ready. As of now I have made no absolute contact with her or exchange of words. 

Brother in law touching sister in law

Q: My brother in law tries to touch me here and there. First I didnt notice it but one day he touched my parts unknowingly and telling me that I am reacting wrong. My husband is abroad and mother in law is handicapped. My husband is telling me to leave it to Allah and to speak to him normal as if nothing happened. I feel so bad and guilty from heart because this is about my izzat. My husband says that it was all my fault.
