Q: My question is about the difference of opinion and dealing with it, like for example, the Hanafee mathhab treats prawns as impermissible (if I am correct), but other mathhabs do not, so if for example, a Hanafee is living with a Hanbalee, and the Hanbalee and Hanafee orders food, the Hanbalee is ordering and he orders a prawn curry and orders a meat curry for the Hanafee, but when the order comes the Hanbalee is unavailable, so would it be considered impermissible for the Hanafee to answer the door and receive the takeaway (the prawns and the meat)?
Q: I always meet this one uncle who I sometimes sit and talk with. He is just over 80 years of age. He wanted to know if there is any Hadith or mention in Qur'an about Almighty Allah being more merciful and forgiving to someone who reaches the age of 90 or any old age. He said he did ask some Imaam before but he still never got an answer so I said I will try my best to find out for him and let him know.
