Reading any Islamic book

Q: I have a goal to finish reading all of our Islamic books in the house this Ramadhaan. I'm not sure what the content of my Islamic books are. It is books that I have never opened. They may or may not have Quraanic verses, hadith, etc.

Is it permissible to read Islamic literature during the days of haidh?

 

Playing a game that has shirk in it

Q: Is the one who is playing the following game committing shirk even if he is not pleased with the shirk part of the game and is not doing anything to intentionally make the character in the game to do shirk:

You are playing as a character who sometime says ‘Jesus’ or ‘for christ sake’, but you are not making him directly say it (he says it because of some other actions you did in the game). Also that character respawns after being killed.

Is there a difference if the volume is turned off but the character is still moving his mouth?

Doing things with ikhlaas (sincerity)

Q:

1. Does pleasure of our Prophet (SallAllahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam), the pleasure of The Prophets ('Alayhim-us-Salaam), the pleasure of the Angels ('Alayhim-us-Salaam), and the pleasure of The Sahabaah (RaziyAllahu 'Anhum) count as part of Ikhlaas?

2. If someone does dhikr in a majlis together with other people so that Allah (SubhanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) can mention them in His majlis of Angels ('Alayhim-is-Salaam), does this ruin their Ikhlaas?

3. If a person starts Namaz with a weak but conscious intention that it is for Allah (SubhanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) but their heart feels weak towards praise and is affected by criticism if someone criticises their Namaz, does this mean he had not complete Ikhlaas? How can the heart be unaffected by praise and criticism?

Woman working as a nurse

Q: I am a Muslim woman who is training to be a nurse. I was wondering if it is halaal to work as a nurse. I will have to work and have contact with male patients. The work clothes are also not completely covering, so men can see my arms.

Is the money I get as a nurse halaal? Should I continue studying as a nurse or switch to another career?
