Wearing of pure silk is haram for men. If it is mixed with silk, then it would be permissible., which means it is not 100% silk. As a neck-tie is considered "wearing", then it would be haram if it is pure silk.

It is not wajib to perform a sacrifice yearly, unless you have done an oath for that. Otherwise, the only wajib time is when doing your Hajj pilgrimage. Of course, it is a highly recommended act, especially on Eid al-Adhha, but not wajib, even if you are financially stable.

Reading a person's palm (palmistry), or coffee reading reading, etc, is something to avoid, even for the sake of entertainment. As for receiving a reading, this kind of fortune-telling has no value, and therefore should not be believed in at all. It is also impermissible to have absolute belief in it, and to act upon what was said as well.

If there is a sensible reason why she informs a non-mahram when she is in her cycle, or when it starts/finishes, then there is no shar'i problem with that. 

Muslim women usually conceal this information, because it is something private, and also out of modesty, but there could be times where she will need to disclose it, and there would be no issue with that.

Once you've done your ghusl, and there is no najasah substance anywhere there, then wherever the water has reached, it would be considered tahir. With wearing slippers inside the bathroom, it has the same scenariou. As long as there is no najasah substance, and there was flowing of water, it would be tahir.

This topic has been addressed a few times in this platform, and I recommend you have a look at previous answers. 

Financial independence is not enough for her to not need consent in doing mut'ah. Please refer to the details of this. 

Of course, besides the shar'i side of this, one must also look at the social implications, and it is very important to observe what would be good for her and her future.

Unfortunately, this is among the very negative practices we have in our societies, and it definitely is dhulm to some women. We must strengthen our marriages, especially the culture of correct spouse selection, but also increasing our level of tolerance, to avoid divorce. 

We must also try to educate people that there is nothing wrong with marrying a divorcee. They might have gone through a bad experience, or made wrong choices, or matured from their previous relationship.

In all, a lot needs to be done to improve our state, to adopt Islamic teachings in its best form.

The condition and requirement of converting to Islam is to testify that there is one God, the Almighty God, and Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) is the Messenger of God. 

This is the shahadah, or shahadatayn, or what some refer to as the "kalimah". 

As for testifying to the Wilayah of Imam Ali (a.s.), this is not an essential componant of converting to Islam. Once one is a Muslim, they will choose the type of Islam they will be affiliated to. Of course, our belief is the only true Islam is the Islam represented in the Progeny of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) - the Twelve Imams (a.s.).
