Q: My father recently granted me permission to build on his property at my own expense. Our mutual agreement is that my building that I constructed belongs to me. What happens if the entire property eventually gets sold? Do i get a share of the proceeds since the property will most likely be sold in its entirety?

Q: My father is in a relationship with his brothers daughter (which is haraam). We came to know this two years back...when we confronted him...he left us...he is not ready to leave her...he is committing zina. Last two years he is not in contact with anyone from the family...in these circumstances what is to be done? Is the nikaah still valid between my mother and father? When he left he said that he will send papers to my mother...but till today there is no single word from my father... He is not accepting halal relationship?

Q: My parents have been divorced. My father who is a foreigner lives alone. He is verbally and emotionally abusive to myself and siblings. I want to maintain good relations with him however each time I would try to engage with him he would react abusively by saying nasty things about my family members and by cursing myself and family members. (Cursing my mother, brother, sister, husband, etc.). What should I do? Is there any Amal I could do in particular to help this situation?

Q: My father said bad things about the hereafter and that Allah will not punish us with fire. Of course Allah has given me clear signs of his power. Now I'm worried about my dad who said that there will be no punishment. We will just sleep. How can I explain to him that we have a creator?

Q: I have an issue which is causing me a lot of distress and sadness. I recently have got in touch with my biological father who I have not known for 25 years because my step father has been trying to stop me from finding out about my real dad. Now I speak to my father regularly on the phone as he lives abroad. However my step mother tells my real dad to cut the calls of early, she tries to keep him away from me and does not want me to have a relationship with. As she does not have any of her own children and is feeling insecure. I do understand this but I feel stressed because I feel she is going to take my dad away from me. I have voiced my concerns to my dad but he has assurred me that she is not going to be a problem. She even told me 4 times to not focus on my dad and that I should focus on my stepfather. I just dont know what to do and I feel my emotions get the better of me. I try to make an effort with her but she wants to keep my dad away. My step father does not want anything to do with me if I see my real dad. I'm confused why should I have to satisfy my step parents. I want a relationship with my dad. Am I not allowed that. How do I deal with this? I just want to get to know my dad without them causing problems.

Q: My father had made arrangements for umrah. The process went as far as getting to the airport. By the will of Allah, his passport and documents were mislaid at the airport. All efforts were made to find them but because of time constraints, the rest of the group had to continue with the blessed journey and my father could not go.

1. In terms of sawaab, will my father receive the full sawaab?

2. My siblings and relatives had initially all contributed towards the cost of the trip. Due to love and emotion, I wish to send him in a few months time. Is it permissible for me to take a loan to pay for his trip and then I will settle the loan as my own? Should I make it known to him if the loan option is allowed?
