Kufr

Accepting literature of different religions

Q: I live in the west, and every now and then, some Christian or Jew knocks on the door to give out pamphlets that promote their religion or an event related to their religion. I normally refuse the pamphlet but sometimes they put it in my hand, in which case I say ok and throw it out after I close the door. The people who give this stuff to me know I am a Muslim as I wear the niqab. Does my taking the pamphlet constitute kufr? Am I obliged to refute their religion to them right then and there at the door? If I don't, is that kufr?

Deleting a recording of an incorrect statement one made

Q: If someone did a radio play for university coursework and their character in the script said an utterance of shirk, for example if they said "christ" and they recorded this, does that mean the sin is there and even if I deleted the recordings but there might be a file somewhere.

I knew it was wrong but I thought because its a character and I'm speaking the lines of that so it doesn't matter too much. Then I remembered how bad it was and the fact that it was part of the radio play. Now I'm trying to delete the recordings and finding out if it's anywhere else on my laptop. I deleted them and edited it out of the radio play but I am still stressed. Its because its recorded and I feel like if the cache or bit of the recording is still in the computer somewhere then is it still shirk?

Thoughts of kufr

Q: I live in Iran and I have problem with my life. Sometimes when I am playing games or prayer I always say bad words at Allah in my heart. I don't know what's wrong with me and I don't want to say things like that but it always happens... I'm scared because I am feeling like I'm a kafir by saying bad words at Allah. What should I do now? Am I a kafir?

Fear of husband making kufr statements

Q: My husband is depressed because he is with his father in his buisness and his father does some haraam dealings. He doesnt want to be left with the haraam business after his father dies but doesnt know what else to do. In a depressing state about the situation he made comments such as:

This is a lesson I dont deserve

Theres no hope, I'm forced into doing wrong

I'm not a bad person

And a few others where he is basically saying that he doesn't deserve what he is getting. Is the above comments kufar?

Rejecting the Sunnat of Nikaah

Q: There's a thing that is bothering me so much. A friend of mine hates marriage. Once there was a chart in my college that listed the sunnahs of Ambiya, one of them was nikah. She didn't believe that it was a sunnah, we told her that it was. Afterwards she jokingly said that she will cut this off the chart. Is this kufr? If this is indeed kufr and takes her out of the fold of Islam, she is going to be super offended and likely to throw a tantrum because nowadays people don't even know things that are kufr. How do I explain this to her?
