Q: My daughter is attending an Islamic Muslims girls Madrasah. After complaints from some parents that the girls are picking up weight and not very fit, they started exercise for the girls. We generally encourage our daughters not to wear tight fitting clothing, and clothing that kufaar wear, but they are forced to wear these types of clothing for their exercises. After asr and before maghrib on Fridays, we generally encourage our family members to engage in dua and ibaadat, but they use this time also for exercise. Kindly advise if this is correct? Also advise what should we as concerned parents do.

Q: I have recently been divorced spending iddat by my father. He has been making my life a living misery, speaking a lot of lies and calling me ugly names. Last night things got out of hand and he kicked me out of the house, disowned me and said he doesn't want anything to do with me. I don't have any family to go to. Is it possible to spend the rest of my iddat alone in another city?

Q: I have been married for seven and half years now. I have a child, a son, 6 years of age. I want another child but my husband doesn't seem to be interested at all. He hasn't been trying for a baby or even having any kind of physical contact with me for almost two years. I want to know if its valid for a husband to stay away from his wife for that long? What about the wife's desires? If a woman is restricted to obey her husband and never to say NO, why a husband is not bound to take care of his wife's feelings?

To let you know, there are no bad issues between us, no fights, everything is normal between us. I feel im just here to take care of the house and my kid, I feel I'm a maid not a wife.

Q: One of my Hindu friends asked how God decides if someone will be wealthy and others will be poor. Similarly, how will someone be born healthy and others disabled. etc. Is this decision randomly made by God or is there some logic behind it? I understand this life is a test but why do some people have relatively easy tests and others really hard tests?
