Being in contact with a na mahram woman

Q: Is it permissible for a married molvi to touch another woman who he is in love with but will not marry because for him its not a big deal to touch a woman in this manner. That girl loves him too but she is not agreeing to one thing, which is that she doesn't want him to sleep with his first wife after she gets married to him. Other than that she agrees to all but now the man changed his decision and left her. She is heart broken.

Marital problem

Q: All I ask is to make dua for me. My daughters father embraced Islam and is living with a Christian family. I don't want to live in Haraam. I want to make it halaal. I am really proud of him embracing Islam but I want to make it halaal. I don't want to live like this in sin. My daughter is getting big. All I ask is to reunite us again as a happy family and want to get married as soon as possible. Is there any dua I can recite to get married as soon as possible.

Haraam contact

Q: I am in great trouble and I want an Islamic solution. My colleague huged me and kissed me on my face. I couldn't stop him doing this because I was confused. At that time I didn't know what to do, that is why I let him kiss upto the limit of the face. I was wearing an abbaya and veil. I know its a sin being close with a non mahram. I want the islamic solution before I am punished for it from Allah Ta'ala.

Consulting with one's elders and performing Istikhaarah

Q: I had made Istikhaarah for a certain matter and went to sleep. Upon awaking for Fajr Salaah today, my heart was very confused and indecisive. I thought that I will have to continue for several days.

After Ishraaq Salaah, I remained awake for an hour or so in Ibaadat, Tilaawat, zikr etc. Thereafter, I felt tired and slept for about two hours. When I woke up, my heart was very much inclined in a certain direction. I did not perform Salaatul Istikhaarah, read the dua, or do anything related to the Istikhaarah before this sleep. Nevertheless, should I consider this inclination?

Marital problem

Q: I wanted to ask a question on behalf of a friend. She is married for one and a half years and she has been having marriage problems. Her husband always abuses her. Also her in-laws treat her really badly and when she asked for divorce her husband said that he isn't going to give her divorce and that he did not want to marry her but now he is going to keep her in his nikaah and he wont free her. This friend was told by someone that she should pray surah Mumtahina 11 times daily for 11 days and after this her husband will divorce her himself. I wanted to ask for her is this true because my friend doesn't believe in this.

Trying one's best to return stolen items to the rightful owner

Q: A few years ago, I stole items from a persons car whilst we were on holiday at a certain resort for the fun of it. I am currently trying to right all my wrongs so my question is, what should I do with this item which I have stolen as it does hold some value of say approximately R500 and it is impossible to track who the owner of it is and return it to them.
