Exercise to treat premature ejaculation

Q: I wanted to know if it was permissible to do some penis exercises with vacuum cupping therapy (dry cupping) with olive oil which helps solve premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.

I am unmarried and afraid that because of my teenage mistakes it will hamper my future martial life. I gave up all the wrongs which I did in my past and I do all my Islamic responsibillities. Will it be permissible for me to do the excercise on my own because I am unmarried. The exercise is to train the muscle related to that area for treatment purpose only.

Advising people to refrain from committing haraam

Q: Am I sinful if I see a family or friend saying or doing something haraam and I don't denounce it. Ever since I found this out, I have been telling people so politely but now I keep spotting things and because I keep denouncing things, I lost so many friends in the past as they find me annoying and it makes my life miserable. Is denouncing a sin in my heart efficient or am I sinful if I don't say anything?

Not attending a mixed gathering wedding

Q: Is my view point good or extremists? I never ask about what the bride to be will wear on her wedding day as here she wears fancy clothes infront of na mharam people, which I totally disagree with. I haven't asked my own sister due to same reasons and she says that I am an extremists. I am also not attending her wedding as there will be mix gathering and music, am I right on my stance?

Hitting someone for stealing

Q: I'm trying to find clarity on a situation where a brother got caught with something that was not his and in the end admitted to stealing it. The stolen item was returned and the brother refused to accept the punishment. So after he refused to accept the punishment, some brothers lured him into a room, beat him and robbed him of all his property, saying that it was sunah.

Insha Allah you can assist to either support their actions or to show them where they went wrong. 

Not exposing one's sins

Q: I wanted to ask which sin is lesser of the two evils, exposing one's sin or lying? I am asking because if someone asks if you have comitted a sin, is it permissible to lie and say you haven't? Would that be better than exposing your sin? In a situation where you cannot avoid the question?

Repenting from stealing

Q: My friends and I stole some stuff because we could get away with it but personally, speaking for myself, I did not have any money and needed the stuff for my house. We feel a lot of regret and have been asking Allah for forgiveness. I stole a lot because I have been without money even after I pay all my bills and expenses. I don’t want to do it again and really need and want to be forgiven.

1. What do I need to do?

2. Do I keep the stuff (lights, cardboard, plate sets, bedding, cabinets, clothes, make up, food, toiletries and perfumes)?

3. If I need to give it back, who do I give it to?

I’ve stolen money from friends and can’t really remember how much exactly. I'm scared that if I tell them they won’t talk to me but I’m more scared of what Allah will do to me.
