Q: I have a divorcee woman with 3 teenage kids that wants to marry me. She is very adamant. I do not see her as suitable life partner but I worry that I might sin with her or someone else as I am not yet married. I have been told she does not need a wali, but can we conduct the nikaah ourselves as we are both reasonably old. What is the simplest way we can do nikaah just for ourselves.

Q: My spouse uttered words of kufr. She renewed her Imaan by reciting one or both kalimas, i.e. she may have recited first Kalima only or second Kalima only or both of them. I cannot now recall. She also recited Imaan-e-Mujmal and Imaan-e-mufassal and made tauba. Nikah was then re-performed. Is the Nikah valid even though she may have recited only one of the two kalimas? I do suffer from very bad waswasa regarding these matters, so please bear this in mind when answering.

Q: My daughter and her family have gone to Australia one year ago. Since then my son in-law is struggling for a job but till last month he did not get regular jobs but he was doing odd jobs. Last month he got a regular job in a good company.

Please me remember that in Australia getting jobs in very difficult particularly for Muslims.

Q: We are facing financial problems from years as my mom is indebted with a loan worth 50k and now my sister's wedding is also expected but we are short of cash. We have properties but cannot sell it as people are creating problems. Our father died 18 years ago. I do istighfaar as much as I can and I am also afraid that the interest on the amount will make my mother suffer in the aakhirat. I am very much afraid of Allah but my mother didn't have any option except to loan out her assets as she's a single parent. Please tell me a wazifa so that we can cover the whole loan from the bank within days.
