Wife desirous of moving near her sister due to loneliness

Q: We live in one area.. I have grown up and stayed all my life there.. My parents are nearby.. My friends.. Masjid where I offer my salats.. My wife says she is all alone the whole day and got no company.. It's not that she isn't provided with a shelter or security.. Now she wants to move to a place in an area where her sister's resides... She is pressurising the husband to let go of the current residence and move to the area where her sister's stay... Not that where we are currently staying is a bad place or the husband is denying her shelter.. And she is doing all this under the pretext that it's her right as a wife and I should comply... Is this jayaz permissible or has the husband got a right to give in to her demands.. 

Sister encouraging her brothers to perform Salaah

Q: If elder sisters tell her brothers to offer prayers. Sometimes they offer and sometimes do not offer prayers on her advice. Her mother said that you make us (parents) sinners because we do not tell our sons to offer prayers in a right way and you tell them. Mother said that it is our duty to tell sons to offer prayers not yours (daughter). Mother said that I stop you to tell them to offer prayer. Now what should the daughter do? Can she tell them to offer prayer or obey her mother in this matter? She thinks that as she is elder from brothers she must ask them to offer prayer. Is her thinking right or not?

Communicating via one's sister before marriage

Q: A girl is engaged to a guy, her nikaah will be after few months. The guy's sister is close friend of the girl. So is there anything wrong if the girl asks her friend who is the guy's sister to convey him some deeni demands that she has from her future husband? (like the girl wants her husband to get involved in work of tableegh and wear Islamic dresses and few other demands). Similarly, is there anything wrong if she put forth these demands to her future husband via his sister?

Making tawbah

Q: Five years ago when I was 13 years old we went abroad. My sister was 11 years old and we were considered as kids and therefore shared 1 room and slept on 2 beds combined together and had one blanket. I at that point of time knew nothing about zina and all these thing related to zina indeed I barely knew anything as I was 13. I didn't want to go to school in grade 5 as it was a new school so I would cry at night but silently and once when everybody was sleeping I was awake as I didn't want to go to school and I got this weird feeling about opposite gender and bear in mind i knew nothing. So my sister was sleeping so i put my hand inside her clothes and tried to touch her body parts but i dont think so i touched although i out my hand inside but i dont remember that i touched all her body parts but i tried and then put her hand on my main point. I hdnt intend to do it but it just happened i wonder why. After that nothing happened and i didnt have any regrets and but now after 5 years when i am 18 i have realized that i did such a bad thing and sometimes i feel very bad but then i think i was 13 wasnt a boy i was a kid i knew nothing about these things and was innocent but then i feel no matter what i shall be punished i have told my parents and they forgave me and told me to move on but i feel very bad and tensed. So maulana sb tell me is it something i will be punished for i have prayed and cried for my forgiveness and when i am tensed my mom constantly tells me to move on or satan will succeed and make you mental. She says whats done is done and you didnt do it now at the age of 18, you did it 5 years ago. And sometimes i do feel bad but then i think that boys or girls develop at the ages of 14 or 15 and girls or boys dont develop physically at the age of 11 or 13 so I then think that my sister was also small and me too plus I didnt commit zina so just forget it and just move on but then again i feel bad and tensed so maulana sb tell me what to do and is it really something that should be taken into account or that was just foolish childhood? Sir give me a detailed reply i need your help and is this tensed and bad feeling coming because of Allah or satan and i am sure that Allah will forgive me because i was innocent i knew nothing and plus i didnt have bad intentions it just happened coz i was awake and just happened once. And sometimes i feel i have ruined my sisters life and because i touched her and that i have ruined her life but then i think girls dont develop physically at the age of 11 so just forget it. My dad said just move on and forget it just happened because you were young in the sense that i was small because i didnt have wet dreams at the age of 13 i had them later and i had no physical changes in my body so just move on.

Relationship with one's sister who wishes to marry a non-Muslim

Q: My oldest sister is planning to marry a non-Muslim guy in a church in front of a priest. She is aware that she is going against Islam and says she is following her heart and mind.
