Getting married in the church

Q: I am in love with a christian girl, and we plan to marry since she has agreed to convert to Islam. However, her parents want us to get married in a church in order to keep their respect among their community, though they have agreed to let us perform a proper Nikaah after the christian wedding and to let the girl be a practising muslim. Am I allowed to get married in a church just to protect her family from humiliation?

Parents consuming or giving away food belonging to their children

Q: My daughter is a small baby and doesn't have her teeth yet. Recently, someone sent some sweets for her as a present. However, due to her age, she cannot eat the sweets, and by the time she is old enough to eat them, the sweets will be expired. What should I do with the sweets? Is it permissible for me to eat them or give them to others?

When should the tasmee and tahmeed be recited?

Q: I was always of the impression that the muqtadee should recite tahmeed in qaumah after the imaam completes reciting tasmee. However, I was lately informed by certain Ulama that the muqtadee should recite tahmeed at the same time that the imaam recites tasmee. I would like to know whether this is correct? I also wish to know whether all my past salaah are valid since I have always been reciting tahmeed in qaumah after the imaam completed reciting tasmee.
