The obligation of supporting the wife

Q: Please could you advise me regarding this matter, in accordance to shariah and hikmah. There is a woman who is 33 years old, she has been divorced twice. The first marriage was arranged by parents within the family, the second time was by choice to a shaikh. Both these marriages broke due to not practising where the spouses were thought to be religious but were not praying. Now she has had a proposal by a mufti, he is married with four children, she does not have any children. She is inclined to marry him and to save herself from the fitna of nowadays, as well as being in the peak of youth. He has proposed and her father has said he'll think about it, he came again in Ramadan and the father and brother refused to speak to him and correspond. The mufti is suggesting they get married via phone/Skype and in two months gradually get the family around as he cannot support her financially and so they could speak without constriction. What shall she do?

Saying "Ya Muhammad, Ya Mansoor, Ummatak Ummatak"

Q: Is it permissible to recite the following as a Wazifa directly calling on Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam without believing him to be hazir nazir: 'Ya  Muhammad, Ya Mansoor ,   Ummatak Ummatak '  in order to gain the  Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's spiritual  attention and tawajjuh. Is there any precedent amongst our akabireen of having done the same or similar and  what of someone who has done the above but not believing Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam to be hazir nazir?

Marital problems

Q: I require advise on the following:- I am married, living and working in town A, my mother -in- law is living in town B. My father-in-law recently passed away and prior to his demise, my husband had moved in with his parents in town B, to look after his father. My husband has continued living with my mother-in-law, for the duration of her idaat, he has thus been away from home for almost a year. I cannot move to town B where my mother-in-law is, as I am working and would take me at least two hours to commute to work. I cannot give up my job as I have dependants' to support. My mother-in-law refuses to move to my town (A), my husband thus has to stay with her. The situation is becoming untenable. My husband keeps on insisting that his first priority is his mother, I understand that, but would that entail excluding the rights of a wife? Under the aforesaid circumstances what rights do I have?

Passing wind in the Musjid

Q: I sat in i'tikaaf this year alhumdulillah. But my question is approximately every 15-20 minutes I needed to past wind (due to digestive problems). It was very hard for me to pray taraweeh and the other salaahs but Alhumdulillah I managed. So will I get sin for passing wind in masjid?

Masturbation

Q: I am a 15 year old Muslim boy. My question is that is masturbation also not allowed for teenagers who are not married. With all due respect I do not go against Quran and Hadith but this topic isn't mentioned in it specifically. I mean if masturbation stops us from zina and watching porn before marriage shouldn't it be allowed for the unmarried?

Waiting for one's companions to perform Salaah in jamaat when travelling

Q: I would like to know the usool/adaab when travelling in a group and stop for salaah at a musjid where the salaah is almost finished. All the brothers in the group have wudhu but one brother doesn't have wudhu. Should all the brothers with wudhu join the jamaat leaving the one brother to miss salaah with jamaat, or should all wait for the brother making wudhu and perform another jamaat, or should most join the main jamaat and a few wait for the brother making wudhu and make another jamaat?

Getting married to an acquaintance from school

Q: I plan on making nikaah next weekend and need to know if its allowed. This man and I have known each other since school but I married another. That marriage didn't work and I've been divorced for 5 years. I have twin sons (13 years). My school friend and I have now reunited and plan on making nikaah. He has daughters in their teens who live with him.

1. Is nikah allowed?

2. Can our children live together?

3. We heard a man is not allowed to marry a girl from his past. Is this true? We had no relation back than. We were just teens.
