Gynecomastia surgery

Q: I have been diagnosed with gynecomastia, an abnormal condition where a male develops breast tissue. It is a very noticeable condition that has caused me great psychological and mental pain. I am constantly worried about hiding this from people to prevent the embarrassment and jokes. I am not overweight and have been to the doctor for this diagnosis. What is the ruling on using surgery to correct this? I am a religious person who does his best to abide by the rules of Allah. Please advise. I can provide further info if needed.

Suicide

Q: Everyone hates me, even my mother wanted to kill me. Please help me I am also fed up with my life and want to commit suicide. Help me, what can I do?

Keeping dolls

Q: I would like to know if a little girl has a soft doll, what is required so it will be fine to keep it (i.e. the angels of mercy will enter the house):

- Is it fine to just cover the eyes with a strip of cloth?

- Should the whole face be covered with a piece of cloth?

Please Mufti Sahib advise what can be done.
