Q: I wanted to clear a confusion regarding a child's name.

Regarding a girl's name we shortlisted "MINHA" which we thought means to be "grant of Allah". But when I searched for this word translation, it means "of which". Some relative told me (منحة) word means grant.

So I am not sure about this word pronunciation. Would this be pronounced as min-ha-tun or min-ha?

Q: I have some question related to cricket, professional cricket and earning from it whether it is halaal or haraam.

1. Today, league cricket is going on all over the world, these countries are non-Muslim countries, so sponsors, advertisements, etc. are not according to Islamic Sharia. My question is that these team owners take money from sponsors, advertisements, etc. Is the money they are getting from there forbidden according to Islamic Sharia? All Muslim players are aware of how the money is coming and it is illegal, yet the salaries they are getting or the contract with the team owners is also haraam or not?

2. In Pakistan and India also the team owners get sponsorship from betting companies and with this money they pay the salaries of the players and staff members so as a Muslim we should not play league cricket according to Islamic Sharia? Players who are receiving salaries or contracts with team owners is also forbidden or not?

3.Pakistan and India cricket board receives budget from the government but also contracts with sponsors and advertisements which is forbidden according to Islamic Shariah, with this money they pay the salaries of players and staff, so with this money taking a salary is also forbidden for players or not? ICC (International Cricket Council) also gives money to all cricket boards and since ICC is not following Islamic Shari'ah, so money from ICC is also haraam or not?

4.Under these circumstances, can a Muslim play professional cricket or not?

5. The player proudly says that we are playing for our nation and the fans also support him as a national hero, so what does Islam say about nationalism?

Q: I need some clarification: My father passed away in May. We are 2 siblings, A brother and sister I have a stepmother but she has no children. My daddy's parents are late.

1. My daddy wrote in his will that my stepmother can stay in the house as long as she wants to, and she will be responsible for all maintenance while living there.

My brother and I lives in Gauteng and she lives in the North West.

2. My daddy has a cottage in the yard where he was collecting rental. I also want to know does she get anything from there?

My grandfather and his brothers were in a family business. Now Every month all their kids collect rental from this business. My dad was also receiving. All his brother's has passed away. I want to know if my stepmother also gets anything from this rental or only his children?

The family has properties in India too, where they will be getting some money, does my stepmother get any shares from it or only his children?

3. My main question is does my stepmother inherit anything from the family inheritance such as the rental now that my daddy has passed or does she only inherit from the estate of what was already there when he passed away?

Q: I read that it is not an obligation for a husband to pay for his wife's medical bills, and that she must pay for them herself. How can a woman who has not gone to college or worked outside the home due to following Islamic rules get a job that will pay for her medical bill while also being sick? I do not understand how a Muslim women are supposed to cover their own medical expenses when Islam has discouraged them from working their whole lives?
