Q: I have contacted many doctors. I am like a girl, my body, chest, etc. My feelings are also like a woman. I know that this is not allowed in Islam and it is a sin. I am controlling myself but I want sexual relations with an older man and want to marry. My doctor confirmed that I am gay. What should I do?
Q: Are we allowed to read the dua "Hizb ul Bahr"?
What are the benifits of reading it? Is it sufficient to listen the audio of it? For your reference I am sending the dua below which I found on the internet.

Q: Are mushbooh foods considered najis? If I have some food which I later found out contained some mushbooh ingredients, and there is some residue/crumbs in my kitchen, do I consider this najis?
Q: I have qadhaa salaah for 3-4 days to make up. Is it ok if I perform my fardh first and then my qadhaa?
For example, Fajr Salaah for that day then Fajr Salaah for the day I missed?
Q:
1. What is the ruling on a man thats wear a silver ring.
2. Is it a must for a woman who is married to wear a ring?
3: Is it permissible for a man and woman, on the nikah day to exchange rings?
Q:
1. A person at work renounced Islam. After 6 months, through the grace of Allah, he entered into the fold of Islam again. He is now asking me what is the ruling regarding the following:
- His rewards and sins of the past
- His qadhaa salaah before renouncing Islam
- His zakaat
2. Is it also correct that his Hajj as well as his nikaah will have to be redone?
3. Is there any other masaail that is pertanant for such a person to know?
Q: Can I invite or encourage someone to recite masnoon duas or some Quranic wazaif to others. Like dua of Hazrat Abu Darda (radhiyallahu anhu), dua of Hazrat Anas bin Malik (radhiyallahu anhu), etc.
Q: In the past, I have earned and used eBucks for car hire and purchasing plane tickets. Recently, I read that eBucks is impermissible. What can I do to compensate for the eBucks that I used in the past? Also, how I can correctly dispose of the eBucks earned thus far as I cannot get the cash to give it away with the intention of no thawaab?
Q: I was told that a divorce in court is like a talaaq. There is no need for a separate talaaq. However if you make nikaah, is that valid or does one have to separately get married in court?
Q: I would like to start a business. Since I'm very passionate about Islam, I want to start a business with an Islamic theme to an Islamic target (I am thinking of selling Islamic books or Islamic wall arts).
My question is, is it haraam to earn money from this type of business?
P.s. It is not that I want to profit from the fact that I am Muslim, rather I feel a big passion for Islam and if there is something that I would like to spend most of my time with, then it is Islam.
