Q: I bought a phone to sell from someone but when they came to sell it while I'm paying them they say the phone is on contract and they have a way of wiping the name of the person who took the contract off from the database etc. so they don't have to pay etc.

Afterwards I realized it's like stolen so I messaged the person and told him I want to return it but he's now insisting that the contract will be paid for monthly.

What do I do? I sold the phone now, what do I do with the money from it? Is it halal for me to use or must give it away in charity?

Q: I work by farming insects to feed other animals such as salmon and others. Does killing those insects in order to sell them as animal feed count as bad deeds or is it permissible?

Q: I have physical problems like high blood pressure and higher tension also. My mind is always full of negative thoughts. I am kind of a pessimist person. I never succeed in any place either, neither education nor work. My biggest problem is my fear and nervousness. Sometimes I feel like committing suicide. I know it's gunah e kabbira. Please help me.

Q: Please advise on qadha and nafl salaah. I have many qadha salaah to make up and have started performing my qadha salaah after every fardh salaah.

Alhamdulillah, I am also in a habit of waking for tahajud and use this opportunity to make dua and perform qadha salaah too.

I am curious about nafl salaah. Allah advises us to seek His assistance through patience and salaah. With so many outstanding qadha salaah, I feel ashamed to perform nafl salaah imploring Allah's assistance, even though I am in great need of Allah's help.

I have received conflicting advises regarding this. My brother (who is becoming an aalim- 5th year) advised that I should use the hours of tahajud to perform nafl salaah. An aalima that I'm close to, advised that I should payback my qadha as a matter of priority.

What I have been doing since, is using the opportunities where one might perform nafl salaah to perform qadha salaah, for example tahajud, salaatud Duha. And for instance, instead of performing salaatul Hajaat, I'd perform qadha salaah and make the dua of Salaatul Hajaat.

Q: I experience constant doubts in salaat and I am currently combatting this. At the moment, due to work, I have to pray my isha, asr and maghrib when I get home in the evening. When I finish my prayers I doubt whether I have prayed asr for example and that I have maybe accidentally skipped this. I have no recollection that gives me complete certainty that I have prayed it or that I haven’t prayed it. But it can be said that because I have gotten to the end of praying all three prayers, it is likely that I did not miss it and this is just doubt being planted in my head. As I suffer from constant doubts is it permissible to ignore the doubt and deem asr to have been prayed, even if in reality (but unknown to me) my doubt is correct and I did not pray Asr?

Q: I woke up with my alarm fajr time then I saw that there was some time for Fajr salah to end. So I decided to sleep for some time or close my eyes for some time then wakeup and pray Fajr salah but when I closed my eyes I was getting too sleepy so I said to myself and also thought that if I close my eyes or sleep for some time Fajr time will be over but my intention was to pray salah on time. So later I woke up after the time was over...

I was so sad that I woke up after the time finished. This happened for the first time with me and it was never my intention to miss the salah. After waking up after the was time over, I prayed Fajr so is my Fajr valid?

I am so worried. I was sure that if I will sleep I will wake up after Fajr time but my intention was to wake up and pray in time and I slept to get up after some minutes but unfortunately I didn't wake up. I never wanted to miss the salah.
