The answer to your question is as follows:

The companions of the prophet Mohammad (saws) are the criteria of faith. To follow the companions is already prescribed in Ahadith; it is not permissible to attribute wrong things to them. Uttering bad words against them is also illegal in Shariah. Calling a Companion a heretic in a particular matter will not necessitate disbelief though it will be a sinful act for the person. Our scholars have always been very careful in declaring someone as a kafir (disbeliever).

وقد روي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: «أصحابي كالنجوم بأيهم اقتديتم اهتديتم» [ص:1691] قلت: فلو فعل إنسان فعلا كان له فيه قدوة بأحد من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم , كان على الطريق المستقيم , ومن فعل فعلا يخالف فيه الصحابة فنعوذ بالله منه , ما أسوأ حاله (الشریعۃ للآجری، باب ذکر فضل جمیع الصحابۃ رضی اللہ عنھم 4/1690)

إذا كان في المسألة وجوه توجب الكفر، ووجه واحد يمنع، فعلى المفتي أن يميل إلى ذلك الوجه كذا في الخلاصة في البزازية إلا إذا صرح بإرادة توجب الكفر، فلا ينفعه التأويل حينئذ كذا في البحر الرائق، ثم إن كانت نية القائل الوجه الذي يمنع التكفير، فهو مسلم، وإن كانت نيته الوجه الذي يوجب التكفير لا تنفعه فتوى المفتي، ويؤمر بالتوبة والرجوع عن ذلك وبتجديد النكاح بينه وبين امرأته كذا في المحيط.

The correct pronunciation in English is Zinneerah (Zaa with Kasra, Noon with Tashdeed and Kasra, Yaa sakin, then Raa with Fat’ha and finally there is a haa). This was the name of a Sahabia. So the name is correct but I could not find its meaning in the dictionary. Moreover, the name zunaira is not correct. It can also be written ‘Zinnira’. (usudul Ghabah 7/124 No. 6948

The answer to your question is as follows:

The relation between husband and wife is a precious gift of Allah. For a successful married life, mutual relationship and respect of each other is necessary and they are obliged to fulfill each other's rights. A Muslim is bound by the commandments of Allah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in all the circumstances. Disagreement between husband and wife is not a new thing, but managing it and maintaining this relationship for a lifetime by tolerating each other is socially good and fruitful in the hereafter as well.

After a few months of marriage, the second blessing of Allah has been received, hopefully the present pregnancy will strengthen the mutual love and affection of both of you, and lay the foundation of a new life. Therefore, both of you must abstain from the sin of abortion and be in love with each other, and at present you both must pay attention to the coming child.

It is permissible, for this job does not involve consuming interest, or writing it down, or witnessing it, or helping those who do that. Moreover the wage he is receiving from bank is not from interest only.  (Fatawa Usmani)

The answer to your question is as follows:

There is a stern warning in this Hadith for those who make pictures of living creatures. Hadith says: “The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah on the Day of Judgment will be the picture makers.”

Thus, the scholars of Deoband caution people not to be involved in taking photos of human beings, if there is no need. So, making pictures of living being for mere entertainments is a great sin in Shariah.

If the children can learn the following dua they should do and read this dua as often as possible. And you too can recite it and pray for them. The dua is:

الَّلهُمَّ مَتِّعْنا بأسْمَاعِناَ، وأبْصَارناَ، وِقُوّتِنا مَا أحييْتَنَا، واجْعَلْهُ الوَارِثَ منَّا

O Allah, grant us the benefit of our ears, our eyes, and our physical strength as long as You keep us alive, and continue to do so after us.

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: قَلَّمَا كَانَ رسول الله ﷺ يَقُومُ مِنْ مَجْلس حَتَّى يَدعُوَ بهؤلاَءِ الَّدعَوَاتِ الَّلهمَّ اقْسِم لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا تحُولُ بِه بَيْنَنَا وبَينَ مَعاصيك، وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ ماتُبَلِّغُنَا بِه جَنَّتَكَ، ومِنَ اْليَقيٍن ماتُهِوِّنُ بِه عَلَيْنا مَصَائِبَ الدُّنيَا، الَّلهُمَّ مَتِّعْنا بأسْمَاعِناَ، وأبْصَارناَ، وِقُوّتِنا مَا أحييْتَنَا، واجْعَلْهُ الوَارِثَ منَّا، وِاجعَل ثَأرَنَا عَلى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا، وانْصُرْنا عَلى مَنْ عادَانَا، وَلا تَجْعلْ مُصِيَبتَنا فِي دينَنا، وَلا تَجْعلِ الدُّنْيَا أكبَرَ همِّنا وَلاَ مَبْلَغَ عِلْمٍنَا، وَلا تُسَلِّط عَلَيَنَا مَنْ لاَ يْرْحَمُناَ (رواه الترمذي، وقال: حديث حسن. الرقم 3502)

The actual facilities provided in the Jannah are only known to Allah. However, Allah has promised to fulfill the wishes of people in the Jannah as He says, “And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes.” [The Quran 43:71] So, everyone will get whatever he/she wishes in Jannah insha-Allah.

Then answer to your question is as follows:

The correct method is either to shave the entire head or cut the hair of the whole head evenly. Cutting some hair short and leaving some hair long is a wrong way. Likewise, it is against the Sunnah to shave a portion of the head and leave another portion long. There is a stern warning in the Hadith for those who do so. Clipping all the hair and leaving the front portion long as fashion is also not permissible as it is today’s fashion.
