Ruqya

Q: I have a question about ruqyahs. My mom she like ask sheikhs what should I recite for a ruqyah. Sometimes she gets a ruqyah but as I know ruqyah is spiritual healing for diseases. So Some people do ruqyahs so that their kids behave well like my mom does for me and my brother. So can you give me proof if this is not permissible to tell my mom?

Christian healers

Q: I'm not sure if you are aware of the recent epidemic of christian healers that's infecting our community like the plague. Christians seem to use the possibility of their mislead leaders healing people, claiming to be annointed by god(though they haven't a clue about who or what god is), as a defence to our statements about the authenticity of Islam and the quran. My question is what should our answer be when they challenge us boasting the capability of their leaders? How is it possible that their leaders do such things? What does the Quran say about this?

Liaan

Q: My question is about lian, or accusing wife of adultery.  If the husband accepts the child during the first week after the baby is born but then later on says "that baby is not mine", is lian still carried out or is it dropped because it was accepted right after delivery and not rejected?
