Q: Among my relatives, here is some ghair muqallids. In the Islamic point of view what should we keep company with them or how should I treat them ? 

Q: I have a relative of mine who has come here 7 years go, first as a visitor and than claimed asylum saying to the immigration that her husband has used domestic violence on her and her daughters just to stay in the UK. Her husband had agreed to put that claim in with her at the time. 5 years ago her husband has gone back to his country and had applied for a visa for the UK on a number of times and has been rejected because of the wife's claim of asylum. The daughters don't know who their dad is, one is 9 and the other is 7. Their mother is persistent to get the UK visa regardless how it's affecting her daughters. She is lying to stay in the UK and is getting support money too. Obviously her means of staying in the UK are nothing, just a British passport. What does Islam say about this? 

Q: Please advise on passing remarks and hinting at daughter in laws in Islam.

Q: I spoke rude to a Muslim brother and he is my friend also and he felt insulted. After I spoke to him and said "please accord with me if I said anything wrong" and lastly I said salam... but he replied nothing. He did not even reply to my salam. Am I a culprit in front of Allah? If yes, what I have to do the next I see him?

Q: In my house, we (me and my siblings) have debated on many issues and this sort of debate is normal for us and it is often how we come to a decision. While debating we tend to raise our voices but this is also normal for us (everyone is our house tends to talk loud). We mean no disrespect to our mom by it. From what I know, my mom does not get offended by this and actively takes part in these debates. Is this sort of a thing a sin or considered disrespecting our parents?

Q: Someone mentioned that when one yawns then this is from Shaytaan and one should recite ta'awwuz.

1. Is this correct, and applicable all the time?

2. Should one recite أعوذ... Every time one yawns

3. Is there mention of this in the hadith, and what is the hadith.

4. Similarly with regards to yawning softly without making a noise, is this mentioned in hadith?

Q: I have been forced in making a kassam to something which someone confided in me! It is something un-Islamic which I think the person's parents should know about! Recently the persons parents asked me if I knew what this person was up to and I just acted like I don't really know anything. After I have made a kassam is it allowed for me to tell the persons parents?

Q: Is it permissable to have your name on a vehicle numberplate?
