No. Question
90 My grandfather passed away many years ago, and every year we do his salana hatham (hatham every year). We call the local imam and the male family members sit down and read Quran and then say a due for him along with all the family members who have deceased. Then food is served. The two questions I would like answering are (1.) Is this dua accepted when food is presented in front of the gathering before the dua is said? (i.e. can we put food down in front of people and say dua), and (2.) The woman cook all the food all day long , but when it comes to the actual dua, the men only say it, my question regards to this is, can the woman also join the dua in raising their hands providing they are in a separate room and do not mix with the men but can hear the dua being read?

200 We do not have specific days to do Khutum / Dua and when mentioned to a family member she accused me of being a wahaabi. Can you tell me, Is Thursday a special day to do Khutum and why? And is it permissible to do an annual Khutum specifically for a deceased family member on the day they died? I was told that you can/should do Khutum to thank god anytime you like and NOT to hold a specific day i.e. Thursday ( a lot of my family do Khutum on Thursdays) - and if you do not, does this make you a wahaabi?

837 Me and my family visited my husbands family in abroad. After receiving some guests my child started to cry a lot. My husbands mum was adamant it was Nazar by our visitors claiming Nazar can even be given by me (the mother). She said the only way to get rid of it was to light an incense stick and then swirl it around my child's head first clockwise seven times then anti. I am a practising Muslim and believe that this is nonsense however my husband is also adamant I do this "ritual" every time my child cries.
