Reading novels

Q: I would like to know whether or not it is permissible to read books which make you think of unnecessary/evil images. I am a practising Muslim, however I was enjoying the book 'thirteen reasons why' until I felt I needed to ask.

Knowledge of the unseen

Q: I am asking this question on behalf of a friend. He wants to know if there is any dua that can be read to find out if his wife is having an affair with her sisters husband. How can one see if they are still having sexual intercourse whenever she goes for holiday to her sisters house?

Nude arts class

Q: I was just enrolled in an "arts appreciation" class in college without knowing that they show nude art in it as well. I heard medical students are permitted to look at nudity for educational purposes. I was wondering if the same applies for my business degree. My degree plan does not require me to take this class in particular (it still requires some kind of art such as music, dance, or drama), but it would be a problem for me if I have to drop this class since it's already paid for. I'm pretty sure I don't have to draw any animate beings in this class, it's mostly analysis of art.
