Q: I plan to teach online using platforms such as Blabelia and Blabmate. I need the Shar'ee instructions for the following:

1) Uploading a photo? Should I or should I not? Though its a requirement, yet I feel hesitant to upload my photo.

2) Teaching online- might involve - males and females as there is not control over it. So what should I do or write on my profile that is not discriminatory as I want to teach males only?

3) If in case, I end up finding females in my online classes, what should I do? Should I teach them? How? Apart from that are there any sharia rules that apply?

Q: There will be an exhibition called "body works" held in cape town soon. It is where the human body is displayed in its true form but in such a way that it educates people on how the body works and illustrate certain aspects of the human anatomy. It is very informative and I would like to attend since I am in the medical field. The only thing is that those are actual human bodies which obviously have been preserved for this purpose. Is it islamically permissible to view these bodies or attend such an exhibition even if it is being done very professionally and discreetly?

Q: Ijmaa', does it still exist or it terminated with the demise of the Sahaabah (Radiyallahu Anahum)?

Q: I wanted to know that in which case hitting you own child or ustaad hitting a student becomes permissible? Lets say an ustaad has a student and if that student misbehaves or does an action which is total disrespect or doesn't follow ustaads instructions despite that ustaad keeps advising him apprehending and admonishing him (ustaad knows he has won the child's heart already and ustaad knows if he hits the student then the student will take that hiding in a positive way he is a student that wont have an aversion for deen after he gives it to him) he doesn't come right and then the ustaad feels the only solution in his case will be hitting him with justice so now will hitting him be allowed and permissible?

Q: If a Muslim commits suicide, will he or she go straight to Jahannam?
