Q: On my wedding day I wore a maxi dress which was black in colour. I made up myself in a pleasant manner. But I didn't use a veil to cover my head or my chest. The important thing was no men was allowed to visit the place where I was. Only ladies entered the place. But my mother in law and sister in law made a big fuss on my wedding day saying that as a lady I cannot dress in that manner and they left the place without looking at our faces. The black colour of our maxi dress was a disgrace to them and they said that a bride cannot wear a maxi dress in black according to Islam. If we cover our awrah in a proper way without covering the head in front of only ladies, is it prohibited? Is it permissible to wear a maxi for one's wedding day in front of other ladies?

Q: My sister in laws have some misunderstandings with me. My in laws and mother in law used to say not to trust me whatever I do. They used to brain wash my husband.

Can in laws command my husband through wrong directions according to Islam?

Q: Me and my sister are co-owners of a flat. We agreed to sell it. Following a discussion between two of us over the fact that I will lose money, she said in a WhatsApp chat to me: “u will not lose money. Once it’s sold I will give you most of my share too. It has been my intention to give you the money all along.” Since then my sister has unfortunately fallen very ill and is in a coma. Her husband and children are now in charge of her affairs.

Q: I am from a small village of Kashmir. We have planned to build a jamma masjid in our village. The land adjacent to the old masjid plot is donated by somebody for a madrasah. Can we use a part of the donated land to make an alleyway i.e. a passage to the masjid so that the street becomes a free passageway for villagers on the other side of the masjid. It will become more convenient for passing.
