Fear of zihaar

Q: I am very tensed about a situation. I was having an argument with my wife and in anger I wanted to call her "Mother F______", but my tongue got stuck and instead I uttered the word "Mother" from my mouth. Have I committed "Zihar" though my intentions were not to call my wife "Mother". Should I now need to atone by freeing a slave, or observe fast, or serve food to needy people? My intentions were not to call my wife this.

Washing impure clothes without squeezing

Q: A female servant washes clothes in my home. My wife puts both pure and impure clothes in a bucket and adds water and washing powder. Servant washes those clothes on washroom floor with a detergent. She throws the impure water from the bucket and fills that with new water. She does not clean the bucket before filling with new water. She rinses the washed clothes in that water. Again throws water and fills with new water without cleaning the bucket and again rinses clothes for second time. Also she does not squeese the clothes after rinsing. Are these clothes be considerd pure? 

As I have doubts about this method of washing , I wash my clothes seperately. But my wife's wet clothes washed in the above method come in contact with my wet clothes when we place them to dry. If my wife's clothes are considered impure, do my clothes also become impure as my wet clothes come in contact with them.

Keeping a care taker to look after one's old mother

Q: I have a care taker working for me in my home helping me to look after my old mother. Recently she told me that legally she is unable to work in this country. I was unaware of this and I am worried for my mother as she needs the care. Should I end the care takers employment or can I give her a gift rather than wages and keep her on? My two brothers are paying me for the care taker and they said that they are responsible for her payment. If I can give her a gift then how do I calculate the amount I pay her?

Palmistry

Q: I have some questions that have been effecting my life for a long time.

1. Unfortunately I made a mistake of watching palmistry videos on youtube and saw some bad signs on my hand. I know its haram but I've made this mistake. I know no one in the heavens or on earth knows what is the unseen but according to the Hadeeth, the jinn travel to the lowest heaven and tell some of the information to the fortune tellers. I'm afraid that the fortune teller might have made some connections with jinn and what she told was true?  

2. I saw my sister's hand and I'm afraid that I might have also made some connection with a jinn and what I saw would become true.

3. If Allah Ta'ala has made these lines on our hands then they might have a purpose and meaning... does that mean that these lines do have a meaning but no one has the knowledge about them?

4. Please kindly give a satisfactory answer if i might have somehow through possession or accident made a connection? Is this possible? I have heard that we can make connections through sacrilegious acts? What are those acts?

5. I read somewhere that there are still some people who resemble to the fortune tellers from the time of ignorance. Is it possible that the palmist I saw on youtube had some knowledge and resembled one of them?

6. I also read somewhere that the predictions sometimes come true that is because the palmist gets information from the jinn. Is that still possible beacuse only Hazrat Suleman (alaihis salaam) had such powers to control jinn

7. I've asked many people and they said that one cannot be sure if some connection with a jinn is made. Is it true?
