Brother seeing one naked

Q: In December 2015 I was in the bathroom taking a shower and I didn't lock the door and then I was done taking a shower and came out of the bathtub to put my clothes on when suddenly one of my little brothers who was in his mid twenties opens up the bathroom door and sees me naked and I was feeling so shameful so I quickly closed the door shut... Also I had this planned in my head that I vowed I would never show any man my body except for my spouse that I do nikaah with... So basically I was saving myself for my husband! The upper portion of my body still feels kind of stiff after he saw me naked and uncomfortable too and I sort of feel like I've lost my jannah... I mean don't you think it is unlawful to see your older sister's naked body and also it is taking the rights of her away... Basically he sent me a waswasa to keep the door unlocked before satan enters... so it looks more like he planned on peeking in... What should I do?

Giving up sin

Q: If a person commits a big scene and asked for forgiveness from Allah by reading two rakats of salat of tauba and again he committed the same sin and again had read the namaz and seeked forgiveness from Allah for the same sin and promised the same that he/she will not commit that sin again, and again if he does the same sin then how should he overcome this habit?

Scalp micro pigmentation

Q: I am looking to seek a ruling on whether scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) is permissible in Islam. SMP stands for scalp micro pigmentation.

It is a method of depositing pigment into the dermal layer of the skin on the scalp, which replicates hair follicles. When viewed from a few inches or further away, the pigment dots appear as hair follicles. Here are some facts provided by a number of SMP clinics I inquired with:

SMP will have no effect on the ability for the skin to absorb water (i.e. for wudhu) or release water as sweat. The pigment consists of Iron Oxide, which according to the clinics is readily present in the body naturally The main difference between a tattoo and SMP is that SMP is semi-permanent and uses a completely natural pigment. It uses specialist pigments created for the scalp only, not tattoo ink.
