Q: I am in an Islamic institution and students were given a task to write an essay in the first point of view of a captive of Badr and the Sahaabahs treatment to them and the captives feelings and thoughts regarding the Sahaabah. Students were given creative freedom and encouraged to use their imagination, as accuracy was not the main focus of the task. However, a few concerns were brought to attention. 

Students were concerned that as they had to write in the point of view of a Kaafir, they would have to write unpleasant things about the Sahaabah and Islam. Another point of contention was that since it was purely fictional, they could make up stories about the Sahaabah and their treatment towards the captives, as well as the inaccurate living situations of the captives. Is this task permissible?

Q: 

1. If someone goes to an Asian wedding wherein some of the songs playing at the event, there are one-two lines of kufr in the songs but the person doesn’t listen to the music with the intention of listening to kufr or enjoying kufr and he hates it in his heart, does this constitute kufr? 

2. Likewise with a movie, if you watch a movie and there’s a few lines of kufr or one or two scenes of kufr and someone doesn’t watch it with the intention of watching or listening to kufr and they hate it with their heart, does this constitute kufr?

Q: I am a member of a Musjid committee. My question is about the ladies facility at the Musjid. 

Some committee members feel that we must invite the sisters to attend some Musjid programs, especially which take place on special occasions and in Ramadhaan, in the separate ladies facility at the Musjid. There is no intermingling in the Musjid. These programs may also include meals served to them. 

Other committee members are of the view that this must be avoided. 

Please advise which is the correct policy to adopt in this issue.
