Listening to the husband

Q: I did not attend a very close family function as my husband asked me not to, for certain reasons with my uncle. Now everyone's upset because I wasn't allowed to go and are saying I should have attended, who should I listen to? My husband or my mother, I am very confused as they have argued on the phone about it. How do I please Everyone? Without hurting them, please advise on all my questions.

Marital problems

Q: My husband wants to move out of the house. He's been fighting with me for no valid reason and I said to him he will have to divorce me before he leaves because I cannot take him back after he's had a good time with other women. He's willing to give me the divorce. I did call family members here but he said to them he doesn't want me. What should I do?

Being attracted to males

Q: I am 20+ in age. I am a male and sexually attracted to looking at and touching a penis often time if am given the opportunity. When I am discussing with male (not all males), after each discussion, I always notice I have released semen (often time deliberately and at times not deliberate). I hate to become a gay. I have tried to stop having this kind of attraction. All to no avail. Please assist me on what to do.

Joining family ties

Q: I am currently living in a joint family with my grandmother and uncles and now we are going to buy a new house separately since childhood I've seen my paternal showing hate towards me and my sibling also at my father and mother. My mother loves his mother but still she has a nature that she leaves no chance of degrading us. My mother scolds me for using bad words or having bad feelings for her but I cannot help it. She pretends to be sweet but she isn't with us. Recently she talked to me very differently. Mufti please tell me something through which I have sabar and we can sort out things. I will wait for you reply because it makes me frustrated.

Stray thoughts

Q: I have a problem, a big problem. Inside my head/heart I always have a whisper that is very wrong if said using my mouth. The whisper is like it is easier if we don't need to do ghusl like others, whisper like ghusl is a burden. It happens in my head. Afterwards, I quickly do istighfar and say Lailaha ilallah muhammadur Rasulullah. I am afraid. I know its very wrong if I said that with my mouth and can be kufr.
