Q: Who are angels Fitrus and Dardaeel? 

Q: Does backbiting mean its shirk and after judgement we cannot go to paradise even after Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)'s intercession?

Q: I have a fabric cover on my Quraan for many years. It has become threadbare in some places. I want to change it. Can I add this old cover to my fabric scraps?

Q: When people in my family get married, they normally make a big thing with the groom. They splash him and throw food on him and make a big noise. This is before the nikaah. When he gets married then they trouble the couple and on the first night they peep and other things.

Would this be emulating kuffaar? I hate participating in this, but they force me to and get angry when I don’t participate and really give it to me. How should I combat this?

Q: Some people drink juice or punch from wine glasses, normally at functions or on Eid day. Would this be correct? A senior Moulana from my town said that it’s haraam because it is emulation of the kuffar. These people claim that there’s nothing wrong with it and it’s just a glass.
