Q: Is it a requirement in Islam that the man and woman sit in the same room during nikaah?

Q:

1. A Musjid is being constructed at the moment. The building is not yet complete and the Musjid boundaries have not yet been specified. Will it be possible to have the room beneath the staircase as non-Musjid area while the staircase leading to the first floor is Musjid? The benefit is that Azaan can be given from this room and the sound system will إن شاء الله be safe in that room. Please advise.

2. Can the qiblah wall in the Musjid be decorated? If it is not permissible, what will be regarded as decoration? Will Qur'an aayaat, ahaadeeth or duas be a form of decor? Will marble or tiles be considered a form of decor?

3. Can public funds be used for aesthetics of the Musjid? Will a dome be considered as aesthetics?

Q: Allah Ta'ala has given me a 2 bedroom house. My husband desired another female. I am 7 months pregnant. I gave her the other bedroom. Do I have to share my room with her? Because my husband wants to sleep (no sexual activity) in the same bed. He believes I am wrong because I want my own room in my house.

Q: I plan on travelling overseas with my brother. The only issue is the accommodation wherein he has requested that I share the room with his step-son. He is currently 11 / 12 years. There shall be two single beds. Please advise if this is allowed.
