Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Q: What does the Quraan says about transgenders?

Q: What are the laws regarding a ولد الزنا (an illegitimate child)?

Q: Can a Muslim woman marry a non-Muslim? In what condition can it be allowed?

Q: I am a woman and want to marry a boy who I like. My father passed away and my elder brother doesn't want me to marry this boy. My other brother who is 25 years of age and my mother both are happy with my decision.

I just want to ask if my younger brother can be my wali for my nikaah if we do nikaah without my elder brother?

Q: Does looking at the private parts of a woman also establish hurmat-e-musaaharah even if one does not touch the other person?

Q: My husband gave me a talaaq and remarried me. He hasn't given me mehr yet and we are divorced again. If I ask him for a certain amount of mehr, does he have to give that amount to me?

Q: I'm a 27 year old homosexual guy. My parents want me to get married but I have zero interest in girls. All my life I've never been in any kind (homo/hetro) relationship, I've never been intimate with anyone. In the last few days, due to my curiosity, I've seen many gay people living their life happily and this gave me so much pain that I can never experience the joy of true love because I know homosexuality is haraam and prohibited. If I get married to a girl, won't that be wrong for that innocent girl?

I've been battling my thoughts for the last few years and it was not easy to be untouched for 27 years in today's time where teenagers are engaged in such activities and people see you as a loser because you haven't done it yet.

I thought about suicide multiple times but that's also a major sin and also I have responsibilities towards my family as I'm the elder child and my big brother is already a rebel and my parents still haven't got over him. I can't give them another shock by saying anything.

I'm getting mentally unstable and can't see my future self living my life for me. Its hard to control the needs/urges of the body now. Every time I think about all this I get this deep pain and sorrow in my heart and tears in my eyes. I have no one to talk to about it personally. I do not want to commit either of the sins, neither can I be normal nor can I end my life. For Allah's sake, please please help me to get out of this.

Q: Please let me know if there is any role of witnesses after the nikaah ceremony has been performed and they have signed the nikah document as witnesses?

Q: It's been 4 months since my husband had sex with me, is it okay in Islam?

Q: I have heard some saying including few scholars saying that a husband's rights over his wife are greater than her rights over him. Is that true and why/why not? I am finding this saying a bit strange because in the Quran it says that wives have similar rights over their husbands to what is reasonable. Islam teaches that both have equal rights, some of their rights are identical but some rights are different, and the husband's rights are not more important than the wife's rights, rather both the rights of the husband and wife are of equal importance. Can you please explain, is the saying mentioned above true and if it is true, then why is it true? Because it seems to contradict islamic teachings.
