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.

Not having any inclination towards the girl one's parents have chosen for one

Q: I'll try to keep this short and sweet. My family is originally from Pakistan and very cultural. My parents are currently trying to get me married as well. My mother claims that she performed Istikhara a year ago for a marriage proposal to her sisters daughter and had a dream where she was at their house celebrating. I on the other hand feel very uncomfortable with this relationship and prefer another woman that I have brought to my moms attention as well. On one hand I can go with my choice and disappoint my parents, or I can go with their choice and regret it myself. Do you have any guidance in the issue?

Whispers of Shaitaan

Q: I gave two goats for my sons Aqiqa. When the first goat was slaughtered I was ok while when the second one was being slaughtered my inner voice was saying that this Aqiqa should not be accepted by Allah. I am really in a problem and doubt as I don't know whether the Aqiqa of my son would be accepted by Allah. Please advise.
