Sin for not wearing niqaab

Q: I am a female and I wear abaya and scarf but not the niqaab (face veil). I am trying my best to cover my body properly and have heard that the face veil is waajib, however, my question is, do I get sin if I do not wear the niqaab? I do however wear the appropriate attire besides covering my face.

Playing a game that has shirk in it

Q: Is the one who is playing the following game committing shirk even if he is not pleased with the shirk part of the game and is not doing anything to intentionally make the character in the game to do shirk:

You are playing as a character who sometime says ‘Jesus’ or ‘for christ sake’, but you are not making him directly say it (he says it because of some other actions you did in the game). Also that character respawns after being killed.

Is there a difference if the volume is turned off but the character is still moving his mouth?

How should the Ummah respond to a calamity that strikes?

Q: What is the Islamic viewpoint on earthquakes? What should our attitude be towards the people who have suffered earthquakes? Should we blame the people or should we help them?

There are people who say that we should not help those who have suffered natural disasters because they have committed a sin, that is why they are facing this calamity. Is this a correct opinion?
