Q: My wife's sister's daughter is a divorcee. She has decided to move out from her parents home to live in her own accommodation in another city on the basis that the existing commute to work is too long.

She claims her father is unable to support her financially due to his age & alleged irregular income. She has no male siblings but does have uncles (mahrams). However culturally it is considered below one's dignity to seek financial support from one's uncles. She claims that her case falls within the remit of dharoorah (necessity)

1. Would the concept of dharoorah apply in this situation? Surely if the situation is, as she describes, then she could do jobs from home and place tawwakul on Allah. The little income will be sufficient.

2. The fact that culturally it is considered below one's dignity to seek financial assistance from one's uncles does not necessarily mean that they collectively or individually would refuse to assist. If it were explained to them that they need to save their niece's imaan, surely they would understand.

3. It is only the essential needs of the divorcee that need to be fulfilled, i.e. clothing, food and shelter which is currently being catered for by her parents as has been the case since her divorce.

She will be going to work without niqab & in an environment of free mixing. Questions:

a. Based on 1 - 2 above, is it correct for this lady to abandon the explicit command of the Qur'an which instructs women not to emerge from the home, i.e. would hers be an exceptional case based on necessity?

b. If it does fall within the category of necessity, is there a need for her to work at a place that is far from her home in a mixed environment without niqab?

c. If the answer to a or b above is "no", is this lady's income halal or not?

Q:

1. Does an enema make ghusal waajib?

2. Does inserting a finger into the anal passage make ghusal waajib?

3. Liquid is inserted into the colon via an enema. The liquid is held in for a prescribed time and then expelled, generally with a bowel movement. If oil is used in the enema, then it is common for small amounts of fluid to leak from the colon and anal passage out of the anus. This may continue for several hours.  Underwear and the area around the anus is generally soiled with this leaking fluid. What is the status of this fluid? Is it in the category of stool?

Q: My child is premature and had two intestinal surgeries at her pretime. Still she is suffering from aspiration and weight is only 1.96 since two months. What should I do to overcome my child's health issues?

Q: Does making only ghusal suffice for wudhu or should I makes wudhu separately?

Q: I need your advice to how to continue my life further. I am the father of two children, the elder is 5 and younger is 4 and am married since 2011 (6 years) and currently, we are living abroad in UAE as an expat together.

Two weeks before me and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a fight between us, we haven’t talked for 4 days, and even I haven’t had any food with her and after clearing the misunderstanding then we again had good days, unfortunately I have seen some chats on her mobile which lead to doubt her. Then I came to know she has been calling, chatting and even video calling her lover from her home town in India. When I asked her about this she initially didn’t agree, then I started checking all her emails, facebook, mobile, Whatsapp, chat history etc. I came to know they were having a relationship even before our marriage and they had gone together to many places in his car any had done kisses and been in a relationship. She already confessed to me that they were having a relationship and they were calling and chatting with me and my children sleep, whenever I am not at home during my work and even during her vacation in my absence.

The last conversation of my wife was calling him to come to our home at UAE while he is coming to UAE in this month from India knowing that I am going to work for few days abroad, which really put me in a depression. I never doubted my wife in my whole life that she will do such things to me. I need to say that I was not a perfect person before my marriage, I consumed alcohol (few times) and I've been in another relationship with a lady (only for few months) but after my marriage, I was a perfect husband and a perfect father to my children in our married life.

I reiterate that I never been in a wrong since I was very truthful, caring and doing all the things to fulfill my needs of my family. Now I don’t know what I have to do; she is saying that she won’t continue the relationship and won’t repeat it again. But I don’t know whether I can trust her again since she broke my trust.

Moreover, I don’t want to lose my children since they are everything to me and even I am living for them. Please give a best solution/answer following the sharia law though I can follow.
