Qurbaani for an unmarried girl

Q: I am a 25 year old unmarried woman (will get married in a few months). My parents passed away a few years ago and I don't have any other siblings. I live with a relative in very good condition. I am presently working with a medium level salary and I have a little inherited gold and a savings as well.

Please tell me if Qurbani is fardh on me? Some people say it's not because I'm an unmarried orphan, some say it is because I'm independent and earning myself.

Keeping contact with one's gay son

Q: There is a mother and father who have a gay son that is living with his gay lover and intends on getting married to him. The son is not in the parents care, is financially independent and lives in another city. The parents, brother and sister have spoken to him regarding his actions on countless occasions not to do the sin but he never listens. He intends to continue his relationship and lifestyle.

1 What do the family members do since he is being obstinate?

2 Do the family members have to cut ties with him?

3 Can any cordial relationship occur between the parties?

4 Can the mother conceal the sons true actions from the father?

Amal to treat navel displacement

Q: There's a certain amal for the treatment of navel displacement. The amal is as follows:

2 rakaats nafl salaah; 100 times Durood Shareef; 100 times Surah Fatiha; 100 times Durood Shareef.

After 2 rakaats, one should continue sitting on the musalla and recite the above. This amal should be carried out on an auspicious night. It is said to be effective if one yawns during the amal.

Also, this is to be able to treat others. So for example if someone's navel is displaced, then they would contact you. You will then recite Durood Shareef, Surah Fatiha, Durood Shareef a certain number of times. If you yawn during the reading then the persons navel has been displaced and you will read for them until they feel relief.

My concern is that generally we are discouraged from yawning. Can this amal be practiced?

Getting a certificate to earn a promotion

Q: If a person has done a diploma in a particular field and has a good work experience but for promotion and growth of the company, they ask for a degree. There are institutes which will give a degree in 1 year through lateral entry inspite of 4 years which will be valid and recognized, not a fake or forged one. The person knows his work but just needs a certificate for the promtion. Is it permissible to get such a certificate?
