Q: Why does Islam give permission to kill a Muslim after becoming a kafir?

Q: I belong to a very poor family, because my father sold all of his land, house, goods, etc. because he is addicted of all kinds of intoxications including women. Now he is stealing from people.

A few years back, my mama started working as a maid servant to bring us up. Now I am grown up and I cannot bear these things any more. I beat up my father when he steals something but he never stops.

I kicked him out from my house because I cannot explain what it is to live with my father. Will Allah forgive me? I do not want to do this but I am tired and can't bear this anymore.

Q: Is carom board haram? And why would it be?

Q: I have got a scholarship from the govt. based on my matric marks. I lied when in filling in the required form. If I would not have filled that in by lying, I would not had received the money... So can I use the money?

Q: I have a mother who is mentally ill. I live with her and our family. My mother gives me a lot of bad duas, she makes dua to Allah that He destroys me, that I live the life of a dog, that I suffer and suffer and end up living worse than anyone. She keeps giving me bad duas everyday. She calls me evil and insults me.

I usually dont say much to her, but sometimes my 8 year old brother hits me with toys, sometimes I will tell him off, and once I hit him back (I know I shouldnt, but he wouldnt stop and he's a big boy). She tells me I'm evil and that Allah will destroy me.

I am very concerned that I end up suffering even more in life. I know the status of a mother, but I havent done anything bad to my mother. Will Allah accept these duas? I am very worried. My dad prays good duas for me.

Q: I watch a series called naruto in which a person is called god of shinobi (ninja). So I called him once or twice that but I still consider Allah the creator of all world. My brain convinces me that I have commited shirk even though I only worship Allah.

Q: If I pray without wudu and with impure clothes everyday by hoping that may Allah forgive me and accept my prayer. But in heart I have that it's impermissible to pray without wudu and with impure clothes. Is this kufr or major sin?

Q: If a man who has earned his living through illicit ways not permitted in Islam as recorded in the renowned personals, including but not limited to accepting and soliciting bribes, misappropriation of public fund etc. during his entire period of service repents sincerely after he retires from Govt. service, would he be accepted by Allah, especially if he uses his ill gotten gains to sustain himself and perform all necessaries afterwards? Does the same logic apply to robbery and trickery, money lending with interest, sale of narcotics, etc.? Is wealth amassed in such a way even if one turns over a new leaf?

Q: I want to ask about my brother. He is very disobedient and extremely cruel to our parents. If we part ways until he dies, is that ok?

Q: I am undergoing my therapy for anxiety, fears and phobias, guilt and other issues here in Pakistan with a trained muslim psychotherapist. He recently prescribed Me doing EFT tapping to control my anxiety and issues. I did it for few days and felt better and more in control over anxiety and low mood that was disturbing me.

He has asked me to just form a short problem statement and a simple affirmation in which there is nothing unethical, unislamic or anything which could be shirk. And while repeating these statements you tap on 9 meridian points.

I wanted to ask you if it is okay for me to continue this self help technique to feel better and have focus on positive things.
