Q: I’m not a Muslim but my mother in law is... I want to clarify if it is an Islamic teaching that watching tv or movies is evil?

Q: My business uses WhatsApp to transfer documents to other countries. However while using WhatsApp, a lot of Muslim friends send duas, Islamic and Quran verses and videos. After a period of time, my mobile memory is full. With no option one needs to delete some of these files. In this case is it permissible to delete Quranic verses?

Q: I am working as a madressa aapa. The person who employed me is old and sometimes forgets to pay me for up to 3 months. I don't mind, and when he does sometimes he forgets a month etc. Someone told me that he will be held accountable on the Day of Judgement which I don't want as he is old and forgetful and also like a father figure to me. Do I just make duaa and ask Allah not to hold him accountable.

Q: Recently we noticed that the newly installed taps and showers have the name of a company called 'idrees' embossed on each one of them. Since it is the name of one of the Nabis (عليهم السّلام), so we would like to enquire as to what should be done?

Q: Can we permanently change eye color as adornment?

Q: If we have a pet (budgie) that is severely ill, what would be the best for us to do:

1. Do everything to treat him even though this costs much money that could have been spent on humans (one visit to the vet is about 60 pounds, with additional costs depending on what treatment they chose)

2. Let him live even though he suffers

3. Euthanasia

Q: A person has a cat. He and his family love the cat. But the person’s father does not like him to keep the cat and he says to the person that he should not keep the cat. But the person and his family are so attached to the cat. They do not want to give the cat to anyone. The thought of staying without the cat makes them cry. So can the person keep the cat? If the person does not listen to his father’s advice because listening to his father’s this advice will emotionally hurt his family a lot, then is he sinning?

Q: In our class some boys took an exam paper from our teachers laptop when he was out and they took pictures of it and maybe that is the same paper which the teacher is going to give us for the final exam. They did a wrong thing. I didn't have the courage to stop them. What should I do now? If I complain then all the boys will be saying bad words to me and they will mock me etc. But I dont need sin. And maybe if they dont get that paper then they will fail and maybe need to repeat the whole year (so much time and money will go to waste waste). What should I do? 

Q: I'd like to enquire about females sleeping with their hair open. Is it permissible, if not why?

Q: I shared a pic on whatsapp on which a girls picture was printed and on the bottom it was stated that it is Yahodi sazish. So one member informed me that it was wrong, so I deleted it and sent a message not to share it because it will give me gunah. I tried to message my groups and tell them not share it. If they share it then it is not my responsibility of gaining sin or gunah. I want to ask you that if anyone shares it, will I be sinful because I tried to stop it?
