Q: I uttered words of kufr and shirk. If I say the shahadah and ask Allah to forgive me, is that enough?

Also, if an apostate returns to Islam, is he equal to the Muslim who never committed kufr?

Q: I have read on many trusted sites that, urethral discharge is impure. However, if someone is getting this discharge a lot and it is difficult to control, can they be excused from washing it constantly? I experience a lot of anxiety and stress and is probably why I am getting this type of discharge. I know from experience. I don't want to be stuck in the toilet for a long time or use a lot of water.

1. So what can I do? I've read somewhere else that a girl used to experience this discharge because of severe headaches, so she was advised that its not the normal urethral discharge.

2. Doesn't it make you najis because its coming out of the place where urine comes out?

Q: I have a question regarding a medicine by the name of propecia (finasteride). It is a basically a hair loss medicine. I will put it this way:

1. This is the only proven oral medicine to stop hair loss and regrow some hair

2. It can have some side effects like loss of sex drive and impotency.

Being unmarried, loss of sex drive helps me to stay away from haraam as well as preventing further hair loss but on the other hand there is a chance of deliberate impotency which could be permanent. Please guide me which path should I take.

On the one hand I want to preserve my hair but on the other side I might not be able to marry if it causes sterility.

Q: If I recite few words of Surah Fatiha or attahiyyat after rising from first sajdah and then go back to 2nd sajdah, is my prayer valid or do I have to do sajdah-e-sahw?

Q: At times I used to be harsh with my father but I asked him to forgive me because I never meant it and he said that he forgot and don't care about those times. After few days he passed away, I asked Allah to forgive me as my father forgave me. What am I supposed to do now as sometimes I am haunted by those thoughts.

Q: Me and my husband were newly weds. Due to pressure and anxiety building up between both our families, my husband was made to write talaq thrice on a paper and this was then sent to me through his brother. My husband did not have the intention to divorce me thrice nor was he aware of writing this thrice would do. We both are now willing to reconcile, and I am still in my iddah period. Can you please advice and guide us as to how we can go back to living as husband and wife.

Q: I am feeling down these past couple of days. I know loving a person more than Allah is shirk. How does one know that he loves Allah more than anyone else? When a person is far from religion and doesn’t remember Allah, does it mean he doesn’t love Allah?

Q: If while I'm reading salaah I feel discharge, then I break salaah and check, theres nothing but only when I use tissue I find discharge. Is the wudhu broken? This happens alot and I make wudhu lots of times because I'm not sure if it's broken or not.

Q: Can durood shareef be classified as zikr of Allah?

Also, what has more importance, reciting durood shareef or praying nawafil?

Q: I went to a vet recently with a pet who needed treatment. Our pet fell from a 5 ft tall table during treatment and suffered internal bleeding and passed away the next day. The manager said that they will not charge us for hospital treatment as it was their fault. I understand this was an accident but I am hurt that the pet hospital did not do cpr and did not try harder. They did try though for free but they did not do cpr as they said we cant do this for free and I dont think they did the operation because we did not pay. The blood count of the pet was 10 percent and the pet had a seizure and stopped breathing but they refuse to do cpr for free. I am so upset we all are . 

1. Is it haraam to sue the vets for the accidental death of our pet even though this vet is a good person and helped our pet for many years? We had a good friendship with this vet until this accident. All my friends are angry and saying to sue him for letting the pet drop from the table. I feel guilty to sue and I dont want to because this man has been good in the past but I cant stop being upset as it was his fault for not telling me to hold the pet.

2. Did Allah take this pet from us or was it an accident that Allah did not plan? If Allah knew then did Allah punish me or did Allah free this pet from pain of disability and emotional pain from not being healthy?
