Question	:	Assalaamu Alaikum I had written to you before but i never got a reply. I would really appreciate it if you could kindly help me. I have two major worries please give me appropriate duas or wazifas with the help of Almighty Allah, My husband of 30yrs upto now is still philandering about ,i was hoping after he reaches a certain age he will reform but there is no change,he does not take resposibility for the family,he is bent on taking revenge on me at every turn for pulling him up for giving a ride to a married woman daily to some classes that he and she were attending,also many other things that i have caught him doing,He is still in touch with these married women in secret,invites them over to the house when i am not there. We do not live as a married couple though we live in the same house.I have told him over and over again if this is the life he wants he can enjoy it,but to give me some respect as he insults me in front of my son in law,gives me a hard time for my monthly allowance.I do not work anymore,he decides and does whatever he likes with our house or with things that belong to the both of us without even a word to me.I am subject to anonymous calls.What i cannot understand is he prays 5 times a day,fasts and also goes on thableegh jamat occasionally.He has a bitter hatred towards me and i cannot understand why?I know for a fact those women have a dislike for me as they know that i am angry about what my husband is doing for them.Please brother help me .i hvae benn praying tahajjud and whatever i can for the past 10yrs when it was getting worse daily,his harassment and oppression of me. The sceond problem .We gave a dowry for our one and only child a house in her name ,the in laws begged us to let them live there for awhile,so against my wishes we told them alright but to leave the apt attached to it vacant ,that too they fought for but even though i refused my husband went against my wishes and let them use it,The house is in my daughters name.It is now 5 yrs since they have occupied it,they have boldly rented the apt without my daughters permission and not given her one cent,the motherin law has her son on her side and they say it is between her son and her what happens to the house.Even when my son in law was without a job we had to help pay his rent,my daughter cannot sell or or get any benefit from that house,i fear they will not leave. As this is a very delicate situation i pray it will be solved in good faith and harmony.Please help my son in law respect his wifes rights and talk to her discuss matters,he never ever discusses anything with her ,shuts her out completely if anything to do with his family and his mother keeps hounding him for money even though she is not paying any rent.Please give some prayers for my daughter for her problems and for mine too.Hoping to hear from you very soon,inshallah. Thanking you Salaams

Reply	:	Dear Saba,There are two ways of Parda(Hijab)1.Farz.To cover from head to toe except face,hands &feet.2.Mustahab(Recommendatry)To cover face if there is no moral values in society. There is also Parda for males,they must gaze their eyes.May Allah guide us. 2.About Picture,if it is necessary it is ok or if it will keep for memorial. 3.If there is separate arrangement for women they can makeup according to Sharia.4.Those they tease the pious women Allah curse upon them.5.You can keep Sceenries at home.6.Ask forgiveness from Allah(SWT).

Question	:	Asalam Alaikum respected scholar, There are some lists around that I have heard of, that contain a list of emulsifiers,chemical agents etc, that if present in a food product make that product Haram. Mostly I have heard about E471 as something to avoid. I understand there are many others. The problem is that these chemicals are found in most of the food products available in market. Does the presence of these chemicals really make the food product/or any other product haram? Someone told me that these chemicals are not necessarily haram,,as they may or may not contain animal fat. What is the criteria we should follow? Lastly could you please let us know of the list of chemicals,emulsifier etc that we should avoid? Thanks wasalam.
Reply	:	Dear Aleem,It is easy to contact in your country religious organisation or you can contact direct to manufactures they will explain you about the ingreadence.

Question	:	I know of a person who would suddenly space out, then start licking his lips. His left hand starts making some picking movements and the right arm appears stiff. This lasts for approximately 30-40 seconds. He then appears very confused for 10-20 minutes and then resumes his normal activities.This occurs several times a month. Doctors say its anxiety. An aamil says "jinn charh gia hey". Is this acceptable from islamic point of view? What can be done? JazaakAllah alal khair.
Reply	:	Dear Syed Please continue the treatment by Doctors.Keep wudu everytime,read 5 daily prayers.
