The answer to your question is as follows:

It is good to strive for higher education, but keep in mind that Shariah restrictions are only for the safety of our future. Even with a good education, there is no guarantee that your worries will go away, though there is a likelihood of job. Therefore, while remaining within the realm of Shariah, you can continue your education by using whatever means are available and avoid usury based endeavor, otherwise the situation may become more severe in the future due to the menace of usury. Money lender’s loans in particular should be avoided altogether.

In this regard, keep in mind the suggestions of ‘Fiqh Academy of India’: If a person does not have the financial means and cannot get a non-interest loan and fears that he will be deprived of the required education, then such students should seek the suggestions of a trustworthy Mufti. So, you should put your situation in front of a reliable mufti and follow their advice. (Naye Masail awr Fiq academy ke fasile P 249)

The answer to your question is as follows:

Good manners and mutual sympathy are very important for the strength of the relationship between husband and wife and in-laws. Husband and wife do have rights on each other, but the husband's parents also have the responsibility to treat her like a daughter and be kind to her, and the woman should tolerate everything her mother-in-law says, and do serve the husband's parents. In this way, this house will remain stable and will guarantee the ultimate happiness of both husband and wife.

Therefore, husband and wife should try as much as possible to stay with the parents and serve them, if something hard happens, be patient and hope for reward from Allah. Therefore, it is better for you to remain with your father-in-law for the sake of Allah and to be patient in order to maintain unity in the house. However, if you demand a separate home for you then there will be no sin provided it is not beyond the capacity of the husband.

الدر المختار: (600/3، ط: دار الفکر)
بيت منفرد من دار له غلق زاد في الاختيار والعيني ومرافق ومراده لزوم كنيف ومطبخ وينبغي الإفتاء به.
رد المحتار: (600/3، ط: دار الفکر)
قوله ( وفي البحر عن الخانية ) عبارة الخانية فإن كانت دار فيها بيوت وأعطى لها بيتا يغلق ويفتح لم يكن لهاأن تطلب بيتا آخر إذا لم يكن ثمة أحد من أحماء الزوج يؤذيها ا ه
قال المصنف في شرحه فهم شيخنا أن قوله ثمة إشارة للدار لا البيت لكن في البزازية أبت أن تسكن مع أحماء الزوج وفي الدار بيوت إن فرغ لها بيتا له غلق على حدة وليس فيه أحد منهم لا تمكن من مطالبته ببيت آخر
بدائع الصنائع: (23/4، ط: دار الکتاب الاسلامی)
ولو أراد الزوج أن يسكنها مع ضرتها أو مع أحمائها كأم الزوج وأخته وبنته من غيرها وأقاربه فأبت ذلك؛ عليه أن يسكنها في منزل مفرد؛ لأنهن ربما يؤذينها ويضررن بها في المساكنة وإباؤها دليل الأذى والضرر ولأنه يحتاج إلى أن يجامعها ويعاشرها في أي وقت يتفق ولا يمكنه ذلك إذا كان معهما ثالث حتى لو كان في الدار بيوت ففرغ لها بيتا وجعل لبيتها غلقا على حدة قالوا: إنها ليس لها أن تطالبه ببيت آخر۔

The answer to your question is as follows:

Celebrating birthday is the way of non-Muslims. It has no basis in the shariah and sunnah. So you have to abstain from it. You have to create awareness about this false and baseless act. Muslims must understand that we are obliged to follow only the way and sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad (saws). Sahaba didn’t celebrate Prohpet’s birthday and Tabieen didn’t celebrate Sahaba’s birthdays. So how dare we celebrate our birthdays?

May Allah guide you to the right path! And give you taufeeq to follow only the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad (saws).

Ref. No. 37/1166 In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful The answer to your question is as follows: For your mother the husband of your step daughter is a Ghayr-Mahram. It is necessary to observe hijab from him. Observing hijab is not necessary from the husband of your foster daughter. As there is no commandment of observing hijab from the husband of the real daughter. And the hadith says: “What becomes unlawful (for marriage) through breast-feeding is that which becomes unlawful through lineage.” So as the real son-in-law is a Mahram in the same way the foster son-in-law will also be a Mahram.

The answer to your question is as follows:

Physical contact requires sexual arousal. Hence the husband has the choice to reduce physical contact with her, and in this regard he cannot be forced. However, it is mandatory for a husband to maintain equality with all his wives meeting all requisites of their life and spending nights not necessarily having physical relationship. Sometimes physical contact with the wife and the fulfillment of her sexual desire is obligatory upon her husband in accordance with the Islamic conscience. 

یجب ان یعدل ان لا یجور فیہ ای فی القسم بالتسویۃ فی البیتوتۃ  وفی الملبوس والماکول والصحبۃ لا فی المجامعۃ کالمحبۃ بل یستحب ویسقط حقھا بمرۃ ویجب دیانۃ احیانا۔ (ردالمحتار 4/378)
