Q: I was in a discussion recently about does Allah know our intentions and choices before we make them? I believe Allah knows all things before present and after his knowledge is compelled by time. But I don't know how to explain to my brother the issue of free will. Like he says if Allah knows our choices before we make them then he knows from birth if heaven or hell will be our abode then why put us on earth to test us when Allah knows our outcome already? So if Allah knows then its almost like programming. Please help me to explain or to make Allah knows all our choices even before our creation or birth or am I wrong?

Q:

1) Is it permissible for a person to change his zakaat date to an earlier date due to him e.g. being out the country on a yearly basis at the same time he was supposed to pay zakaat?

2) If someone doesn't know what exact date he became baaligh on, how should he set the date for payment of his zakaat?

Q: I want to ask you about my rizq. I am 21 years old. I want to ask you about my success in life at every step of my life. Please tell me some wazifa or points to take respect and success in the failure time of life. I am very tensed about my career and don't know what will be happen. My dad has passed away and have no source of income. I want to do something for my family but the conditions don't allow me to do any thing. I am very tensed. Please guide me about how to get respect, success and halaal rizq in my life. Nobody agrees to help me. I am alone and live abroad. Kindly tell me the causes of failure and points to get successful in my life with the help of Allah.

Q: My question is that I understand that going to the cinema and watching movies is forbidden so is it the same for when watching on Eid as there is a story of when a boy was playing music on Eid and a man wandering past started to shout saying what are you doing it is eid and then the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) heard this and said to the man something similar to this that it is Eid today let the kids do what they want. So this is what I don't understand whether it is permissible on eid day?

Q: I said to my wife weeks ago: "I have to go" intending a kinaya divorce and she said "are you serious" and I said "yes". Days later because I was unsure whether it took place and I wanted to be sure and I said alone in a room but addressing her in my heart "I intended a kinaya divorce. You are free" So what took place now? Kinaya or Sareeh and how many times?

Q: My question is, what happens when you hear someone's conversation while having bad thoughts but then you realise during the conversation that you were not supposed to hear it and immediately divert your attention? Do you get the sin even though you diverted your attention right away or do not get it due to you not remembering that specific commandment of Allah Ta'ala?

Q: Can you tell me if studying and practicing actuarial science is permissible?

Q: If a person fulfils all the fardh of ghusl that is gargling the mouth three times, making water reach the soft bone of nose three times and washing the body thoroughly such that no part remains dry, is the ghusl valid or the sunnats of ghusl have to be performed too? Does skipping the sunnats render ghusl invalid. Also one of my cousins told me that ghusl means wetting the entire body. If this is so then why does ghusl have faraaidh?

Q: I have been suffering from waswasas and I try to ignore them. But everyday I perform ghusl as I am not certain if I became junub. What adds to my doubt is I can't put on underwear as I suffer from allergy. Now after Fajr Salah or Zuhr salah I take some nap, then I fear whether I need ghusl or not. In such scenes, I check my private part, when it's dry I don't take ghusl and when it's not, I take ghusl. Am I doing the right thing? Also being a female, discharges occur frequently so it's hard to distinguish.
