Marital problems

Q: I'm married for eleven years. Recently I caught my husband watching porn. I was very upset because it was the second time. And he knows it's wrong. Recently our intimacy has been very less and I suspected that something was wrong. I told him a lot of hurtful things and at the same time expressed my feelings. The problem now is that I don't feel like having relations with him. I don't even like him to touch me. I feel so used and abused and I know that I will not accept him now knowing what is in his mind when he is with me. I'm so depressed and disappointed. I don't know what to do. Am I allowed to stop sexual contact with him or is this a big sin. And how can I get over this disappointment and go on with my life. Please help because I love my husband and I also hurt him.

Wearing purda

Please give me advise as this is bothering me much.

Anglo Rand investment

Q: I recently came across a Shariah compliant CFD from AngloRand and I am really bemused as to how they can offer that product when clearly they know that it is not Shariah compliant because gearing is involved and this sort of investment a person does not physically own a share in a company that they would enter into a CFD, perhaps Mufti you have heard of this type of CFD and can shed some light.

Taking a second wife

Q: I am 35 years old. Married with children. I have decided to take a second wife. I told my wife everything that had happened and want to take a second wife, but she refuses to agree. I do know that I do not need her permission but I would like to get her permission because she is important to me. The second lady has read her isthikaara and has accepted to be my second wife, she fully understands the regulations of being a second wife. Could you please assist with my problem.
