Q: I have a question regarding my little brother who is going into a Islamic School in Chicago. He is only 7 years old. In his Islamic school they show kids Islamic/non-Islamic videos of animate objects on the screens, sometimes for educational reasons and sometimes for fun. I know watching these things are not permissible but in his case what should one do to stop this evil? How should this matter be approached?

Also his school has qualified teachers that are teaching there from the Deobandi school of thought. When we can't change their mindset then due to him being only 7 years old, is it permissible to participate in these kind of things. Also we are left with no choice of putting him into any other Islamic school because the situation is much worse and the government wants every child to be in school. If the answers can be mentioned in detail that would be highly appreciated.

Q: I recently had an argument with my friend. I read an article about Prince Muhammad bin Salman calling Trump the Muslims best friend. I told my friend that I think he's such a sellout. My friend responded by saying that it was improper for me to say so as Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said it that was not permissible to say anything bad about an Arab and it was impermissible to hate them.

Q: I was sitting and reading Quraan and thoughts about hurmate musaahara came to my mind. I'm really scared to shake my father hands. I don't have no feeling for him but the thought comes now that is my step mums  and dads nikah valid? I was sitting and reading Quraan and this thought and image came in my mind that I was young, in my teens probably, and my dad was lying down and he had on a lungi.Probably the lungi was open and I was sitting by the leg side and from the bottom, when he widened his legs I could see the testicals. Does my step mums nikah break with dad? I can't even remember exactly but I'm not even sure if i saw the testicals or penis, but obviously I won't have no lust for him.I don't think there was even lust but I'm just getting these thoughts if dads nikah is valid.

Q:

1. What is the status of permissibility with regard to student loans? Here in Australia, we have the option of paying back all or some of the loan, but it has some form of interest (indexing) applied to it. These loans are usually taken out by university students.

2. What about those who have already taken out a loan and do not wish to pay back? The Australian law requires a re-payment of the loan incrementally in the form of income tax, which only becomes mandatory if and when the debtor is earning above a minimum yearly salary.

Q: Is it permissible to work as an Uber driver? I heard that they require drivers to pay for insurance (third party property) which is not compulsory by government law for private car owners. This type of insurance is a stipulated requirement of the Uber company only.

Q: I stuck a tissue in my nose and found a small amount of blood on it. Is my wudhu broken? Also, If my finger is impure and I put it in my nose whilst the inside of my nose was wet or moist does the inside of my nose become impure? How do I purify the inside of my nose if it does become impure? Also, what is the difference between dry blood coming out of the nose and wet blood? What if there is blood inside the nose, is wudhu broken only when it comes out of the nose or is it broken even if it is still inside the nose? Because usually if you have a cut or wound, wudhu is broken when blood flows out of the wound but it's hard to tell in the nose. Is blood coming out of the nose the same as blood coming out of the wound?

Q: Is taking photos of babies permissible? Even if the intent is just to capture a moment and share it and then delete the photo?

Q: My maid is working since 1 year at my place. After she joined, some months later I caught her stealing. Once I caught her removing a wallet from a jeans then after 2 or 3 days she was stealing onions. When I caught her, I said to her in a nice way that you should not do this. Before this, she stole 20 rs from my sons pocket and then she apologised. The next time I will not do it and thereafter many vessels disappeared from the house. My mother in law used to tell me everyday to ask her whether she took it or not. Our neighbour used to always say that she used to steal needles. She even asked why did you keep her to work. You should remove her I told her that now she is not stealing. She apologised but i still doubted her and yesterday I was searching for my earing and I didn't find it. Today in anger I scolded her directly that you had taken that earing, bring it back. She was saying that I had not taken it. She told me to check her house and suitcase. I told her not to talk rubbish to me, I know you had taken it. Bring it back. I also called my neighbour and her maids for proof that she is stealing everyday from their house but at that time my neighbour refused and my maid was crying like mad. She was saying I had not done it and I said to her in anger, because of this habit of yours, no one is keeping you for a longer. She went crying like mad from here and then after I called my mom, my earings were at my moms place. I called her and apologised 3-4 times but she was crying and saying that I will not come. I was feeling it is like my home when I started working. I got fever now and I will not come to your place. She said that her heart is badly hurt (dil pe lagi hai mere). Now if she will curse me and my family, then I am feeling scared from inside. I was also very strict with her. Without thinking, I scolded her loudly because of her previous deeds. I felt she is steal stealing. Now I told her to come here one more time, I want to apologise before all to her, but she is refusing to come. What should I do?
