Q: My son started hifz class in September 2017. Before he went into hifz class he already did 4 juz at home. He started from juz 1 at the mosque as he is the youngest in his class and he was nervous. Alhamdulillah they has never been a complaint about him regarding tajweed or anything else. I feel he prays proper at home with full concentration. Would there be anything wrong in teaching him at home?

Q: Our son aged 21 smokes weed and refuses to read salah most days, (we and siblings do read salat). He is applying for a job and he refuses to be tested for weed. What shoudl we do Islamicaly? Can we ask him to leave the house, etc.?

Q: At home, can a woman wear night dress for husband at night/daytime?

Q: I am staying in a hostel and doing my 1st year college. When I come home for the weekend, I offer salaah as a musaafir by offering 2 rakaats zuhr, 2 rakaats asr, 3 rakaats maghrib and 2 rakaats isha. My house is 177 km away from the hostel. Is it right? How many km should it be for me to be a musaafir?

Q: It has come to my attention that my father pays home and car insurance. Is it permissible to make use of a car that insurance is been paid on? e.g. to use the car to go for Salaah, to do necessary shopping etc. Is it permissible to live in a house that insurance is been paid for?

Q: I have a question about purdah. I live at my mother in-laws house and I wear niqab. There are always males in the home who are my husband's cousins and uncles. Is it permissible to not wear the niqab when they are present? I try avoid taking it off as much as possible but sometimes I am unaware that they are in the home and am not wearing it which makes me feel guilty because there have been times where my husband says I should leave it off or he doesn't encourage to wear it when those particular people are around.

Q: Outside my home sometimes stray dog/dogs sit in front of my home for sleeping purposes or just sitting. So I have heard that we should not allow them in front of our home and shoo them away. Is it true?
