Meaning of the hadith “War is deception”

Q: Abu Hurairah and Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “War is deception.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 

Is it permissible to deliberately spread a false rumour accusing the wife of a prominent political enemy of the Muslims of adultery, with the intention of discrediting him, causing turmoil and distress in his personal life, and thereby hoping to gain a strategic advantage for the Muslims?

Effect of evil eye

Q: Can evil eye from envy and such cause affects to someone’s physical appearance or lifestyle? If someone gives you evil eye can it do stuff like ruin skin and change the way you look?

Not desiring the wealth of people

Q: What is greed in Islam as the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said wealth without greed is a blessing and wealth with greed is not a blessing. So is earning more considered greed? 

I read somewhere that Ameerul Mumineen said that be moderate in earning. I don't know if it's authentic or not. If yes, should we earn moderate and not earn more?

Hadith on standing for a brief while in the path of Allah Ta'ala

Q: Rasulullaah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Standing for a brief while in the path of Allaah is better than performing salaah for sixty years at home. Do you not want your sins to be forgiven and to enter Jannah?” (Mustadrak).

Is this only for jihad where you have to fight kuffar or mushreekeen or this sawab can also be obtained in tableegi jamaat where you have to stay in different mosque and call people towards Allah. 

Exactly what is Allah's way? I have heard that a person that earns halal is in Allah's way and a person walking towards the mosque for salah is in Allah's way. Now the sawab of more than 60 years nafil salah can be obtained by the person earning halal and walking towards the mosque for salah?

Explanation of the hadith regarding a person traveling alone

Q: There is hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Aas (radhiyallahu anhu): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A single rider is a devil, and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders. Grade: Hasan Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 2607 In-book reference: Book 15, Hadith 131 

I travel alone for my college which is far, so what does this hadith mean?

Women meeting family and friends in Jannah

Q: Some people say in Jannah women stay indoors and only men go out, they use hadith like this 

1. Anas ibn Malik (radhiyallahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, there is a market in paradise to which the men will come every Friday. The wind will scatter fragrance on their faces and clothes and will increase their excellence and beauty. They will return to their wives after having been increased in excellence and beauty and they will say: by Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! They will say them: by Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! Source: Saheeh Muslim 2833. 

So the hadith makes it sound like women can't meet their daughters or adult sons. 

2. And in ayah 55:70-72 Quraan it says that fair ones reserved in tents. How do we understand that because it makes it sound like women can't go out or meet families or female friends or adult sons. 

3. Sahih Al-bukhari 3243 Narrated `Abdullah bin Qais al-Ash`ari (radhiyallahu anhu): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A tent (in paradise) is like a hollow pearl which is thirty miles in height and on every corner of the tent the men will have wives that cannot be seen by the others." (Narrated Abu `Imran in another narration, "The tent is sixty miles in height.") 

The hadith says (wives don't see each other). Does this mean that the women of Jannah can't see and meet her family like her adult children and her mum and dad and her female friends because the hadith makes it sound like she will only see her husband. Because the reason I'm contacting is I love my mum and I want to meet her and be with her in Jannah if we both make it there.
