Secret nikaah

Q: I am an unmarried girl of age 32. I lost my father 9 years back. I dont have a brother. My mother is not getting any suitable alliance for me. I changed my mind and started searching for a divorcee and widowed person with child also. But then also I didnt get. Hence i started thinking for a married person also. Each and every day I am facing problema and coming close to gunah. No one is understanding me. Every time they are telling me to have patience.

I got a person who is married and has a 7-8 years old daughter also and he wants to marry again. He stays about 900 km away from me and says that he will only tell their family members after gettimg married to me. However he says that he will surely come with 8 to 10 people from his society to marry me. He says that he was searching for another girl for the last 3-4 years as he has some issues with his wife. For that he has said to his in-laws also that he has problems and they should ask their daughter about it. But nor his wife or his in laws are listening or giving any attention. My mother does not agree. All of the family members are saying that I will be cursed by his first wife and I will be hurting his first wife by marrying him. Pls suggest what to do.

Its an extreme condition for me.

1. Is it ok to marry that man?

2. What does the shariat say about 2nd marriage of a man, does he destroy his first marriage by 2nd marriage?

3. What does the shariat say for the anger and curses of the 1st wife?

4. If the man is not at all ready to divorce the first wife at any cost and intends to give equal rights then is it right to say that the 2nd wife is destroying the first wife's house?

Abortion

Q: I have a very complex problem. A 33 year old nmarried lady who has decided to go for artificial insemination. She is 4 months pregnant. She did not discuss her intentions with her family before taking this step. Islamically artificial insemination is not allowed. How should the family approach this situation in the community and also in the family circle?

Making waqf and attaching the condition that one’s children will be the beneficiaries of the waqf

Q:

1. Does the income of waqf alal awlaad (making one’s children the beneficiaries of the waqf) have to be distributed equally between the male and female children or will it be in accordance to the law of inheritance where the male will receive two shares and the female one share?

2. Can the donor or the trustees, after the death of the donor of such a waqf, specify different avenues for the entire income or portion thereof to be spent on, besides the awlaad e.g. he says that all the income is to be given to a certain musjid or organization? If this is permissible, does anyone of the donees have a right to object to this and ask for his share?

3. Our madrasah property is waqf alal awlaad. The madrasah takes fees and accepts donations which is spent only on the madrasah.

a. Are the awlaad entitled to a portion of this as it is a source of income to the waqf (although none of the donees asked for anything as they have accepted that the income will go to the madrasah)?

b. Does the madrasah have to pay the waqf rent or do the trustees have the right to allow the madrasah to use it without a charge?
