Q: My menstrual cycle is 10 days and 15 clean days due to ongoing discharge, etc. My 10 days would have ended at 1.30pm however because I had to travel away from home and would not have been able to make ghusl at that time, I made ghusl at 12.30 and prayed zuhr. Was this correct? I could feel discharge after but didn't check again till asr.

Q: In my country, before the actual nikaah, the qadhi goes to the bride's house to get her signature. Some people insist that there should be 2 witnesses there and some say no since this is not an actual nikaah but just to confirm that the bride has given her permission.

What is the ruling here? Should there be 2 witnesses when the bride gives her approval at her house and they have to be present in the nikaah to confirm that OR the mere statement of a wali during the nikaah (that my daughter has given her approval) is taken to be sufficient without the involvement of any witness (to confirm the above)?

Q: Due to tenants not paying rental on time, we intend putting a clause to deter tenants from delaying payment. Please advise if it is permissible to include the following clauses in a lease agreement.

NB: We only intend using one of the 2 clauses in each lease.

1. Failure to pay monthly rental by the due date will result in the premises being locked by the lessor. The lessor will only unlock the premises once all arrear rentals are fully paid. The lessee will be charged for expenses incurred in having the premises locked and unlocked.

2. Failure to pay rental by the due date will result in immediate termination of lease. The lessee will be liable for a daily rental of R1000 until the premises has been vacated or a new lease has been agreed upon. (The amount for daily rental we intend using here will be significantly higher than the [proportionate daily] amount the tenant is being charged accordingly to the lease which has a monthly rental amount.)

Q: Sometime ago, we purchased leather shoes in a non-Muslim country. We did not ask in the store what type of leather is used, i.e. if it is pig leather or not.

I thus subsequently called and emailed the manufacturer multiple times, but for some reason they were not forthcoming on the type of leather used. They said they will get back to me but they never did.

What should be done with these shoes which might or might not be pig leather? Can they be given to a non-Muslim?
