intention

Q: My mom married someone who my mom brought to uk. When time came for his visa to be renewed my mom had two choice one to give him permanent or just extend. My mom wanted to give him just extended because she did not like his behaviour as it changed as he was already married as well. According to my mother he threatened her and said if you don't give me permanent visa I will tell everyone you married me as it was kept a secret. Also he said when you go back you watch what happens something along the lines. Due to the threats and pressure she applied for permanent visa but was very unsatisfied so she asked me to help her to collect his letter and destroy it. Which I did and due to destroying the letter he was deported as he had overstayed. Am I sinful as I just helped my mother. Now my mother does not speak to him for obvious reasons, there is no contact so if I had said something in anger to him am I sinful?

Q: If a woman says to her husband that "okay if you don't want to live with me than divorce me, the husband replied, "Ok, fine" ... does it imply talaq? If yes, than considering the ignorance of the husband that he doesn't know that saying this establishes talaq, still will it be considered as talaq?

Second question, if a husband says to his wife that I don't consider you as my wife. What does it mean? Is this also considered as talaq?

Q: I want to know if I make an intention in my mind to do something and I didn't do it, is it wrong? If I make an intention that I will give this dress in sadaqa to someone and I changed my mind, is it wrong? If I want to give a person a gift and I made an intention then I didn't give it, is it wrong?

Q: When I pray namaz, in the starting I read niyat in urdu for e.g: (I do niyat to perform 4 rakats isha facing towards the qibla). Is this the correct way to start namaz or should we just start with Allahu akbar?

Q: My wife made 2 mistakes in umrah. We are worried that we have to give sadaqa, damm or any other fine for that mistake or it can be ignored.

1. Although we left our home with the niyyat of umra, but when the meekat came she didn't make proper niyat by words. She make proper niyat by words when we reached Makkah.

2. During tawaf she covered her face with full burka as she was worried about her hair becoming exposed.

Q: In the one instance, one makes intention to keep a nafil fast or to perform a nafil salaat. But then, at the appropriate time, one changes one’s mind and does not keep the fast or perform the nafil salaat. In the second instance, one had already commenced performing nafil salaat but when one’s wudhu broke, one did not renew one’s wudhu and abandoned performing the nafil salaat. In the first instance, is it now mandatory to fast and perform the nafil salaat one had intended to perform? And, in the second instance, does performing the abandoned nafil salaat also become mandatory?

Q: I would also like to know. If I showered from head to toe with the intention of performing ghusl but I forgot to say the niyyah. Do I need to make ghusl again or can I perform my salaah without redoing my ghusl?

Q:

1. If there are women following the Imam, does he have to make a specific niyyah for them?

2. If he makes general niyyah for all those following him, will it suffice?

3. If he didnt know there were women following him, will their salaah be accepted?

4. If he knew but didn't make intention for them, will their salaah be accepted?

Q:

1. If one is in half asleep and somehow realizes what he is doing but can not really think straight because he is half asleep and utters "talaaq" while the wife is somehow in the mind, does this count? The person could not really think about what he is doing or saying.

2. If someone mistakenly utters this word while just doing something and somehow thinking about the wife but there was no intention, but like a slip of the tongue, does this count?
