Pregnancy and Parenting

Q: What do we do with the placenta after birth?

Q: What does the Ulama say about umbilical cord banking? Nowadays some people from hospital take away the newborn childs umbilical cord by saying that it will be preserved and used for the same baby in case of any serious disease in the future. How is this right for society and upto what extent?

Q: There are 4 sons, youngest son lives with parents, father is alive and decides to give youngest son 50% of the house share and 50% remaining to the other 3 sons. The youngest son has also purchased another house, but is living in the current one.

The other sons are not happy as they say that it was unfair for our dad to give more to the youngest, on the basis that he lives with him and in tradition the elder brothers should give youngest most.

The brother's refused the 50% share as they wanted full share, not half. Is there any sin on the father because he decided he wanted to choose who he likes to give?

Q: Is it jaiz for someone to show others pictures of a baby scan (when baby is in the stomach, pictures are taken through ulstasound scan etc.)?

Q: What to read when pregnant:

1-3 month (Surah Luqman)

As the brains are formed - for a wise and clever child

3-6 month (Surah Yusuf)

As the face is formed - for a beautiful child

6-9 months (Surah Muhammad)

As the body is formed - Good manners and qualities of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Surah Maryam throughout the pregnancy for easy pregnancy and easy labour

Surah Al-Haaqqah - no defects and healthy child and baby will be saved from all calamities. 

Q: How can we inculcate Islamic values in our child (as a teacher or mother) and how do we preserve it in them? 

Q:

My first question is: In Islam, when does a child have the right to go outside and maybe socialise or even go to the mosque and come back by themselves. Say a general ruling for maybe a boy who is 13-14 years old.

My second question is: Up to what extent is an older sibling allowed to punish a younger sibling i.e. corporal punishment or verbal? 

My third question is: If your parents say something like "I don't care about what sunnah or fatwah says, it's about what I say! It's about me!" how do you respond in a respectful way.

Q: Where can one find advice/books to guide women during their pregnancy? Most books that I have come across only advise from the time of birth.

Q: I have a question that my wife is pregnant for the second time. We have one more baby Alhamdulillah. In a couple of days, we have seen that we have lost our first child and later we got her in the dream. We want to give Sadaqah of our first child as well as of the baby who is in his/her mother womb. So is it possible that we can give Sadaqah of the child who is supposed to come in Duniya very soon?

Q: Are you allowed to freeze your placenta and eat it or make it into pills and then consume it?
