Each day she is telling me continuously how bad I am, that nobody can ever love me, that I'm too stupid for everything, that my fiancee will also soon leave me (she says) because I'm so bad.

Q: I have Australian parrots in my home. They are almost 10. We are feeding them properly and taking them for medical check ups as well. They started laying eggs. At the moment they don't have eggs in the cage. I want to set them free because after all they are birds and they can be more happy outside but I am afraid as we'll because we live in Dubai and the weather isn't that pleasant here. Since the day I started feeding them, our house and things became more settled. I am afraid and confused if I set them free may be in our house the Barkat is due to them. I am totally confused what to do either keep them or set them free. Is it a sin to keep them or what shall I do?

And the other is that I wanted to know if I wanted to buy his groceries for the month do I have to ask him or tell him because he is unable to do his shopping by himself?

Mufti Saheb I also request that you advise me accordingly on what is the Shari'ah ruling and the best way to handle this situation and also to make special dua for my son and for myself.
