Q: Once, a hadeeth kitaab was sent to the copy shop. The workers there were not handling the kitaab with care for which some students teased the one who owned the kitaab. Is this tantamount to kufr? I believe that they were laughing at the way the workers were handling the kitaab and not looking down on the kitaab itself.
Q: Many people including A, B and C are doing their Qurbaani through an organization by paying equal amounts for each animal.

However, in the end, all will get the meat. Is it fine?

Q: Is it permissible to wear shoes that have a “won ang” duck on it? A won ang duck is a symbol in Korean culture which is given to a husband and wife and symbolizes unity between that couple. I know partaking in this culture is imitating the kafir, but I was wondering if I could wear shoes that have a little picture of this kind of duck solely for the looks of the shoe. Most people who look at the shoe will not know what it symbolizes. The shoe itself is not apart of the culture, rather a normal shoe anyone can buy.

Q: For over five years, I have been struggling with a strong desire to write books. However, these books revolve around fantasies and stories that may be morally objectionable, yet entertaining for others. It is also possible to earn money from such books. On the other hand, whenever I attempt to write books about Islam and promoting good behavior, I find myself getting bored and unable to proceed.
I am seeking reassurance that writing fantasy books of this nature is forbidden, as it would help me find peace. Additionally, I hope you can provide me with relevant Quranic verses that describe my predicament.
Q: I always plan but I don't follow through, what can I do? I pray also, but my life is not changing, mostly setbacks. I want worldly success too because if I don't have money I don't think continuing spiritual life will be possible. So help me.
