No, it would not be considered extravagance, or waste, as long as you do not prolong your shower, wasting water and electricity/gas. 

There is no shar'i limit for how long you should take a shower. It would just be common sense. A shower should not take more than 3-4 mins. The sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.), is the water used for a ghusl should not be more than the amount of a jug of water.

You must follow what your specialist doctor advises. If they have said you are not allowed to fast, as it will make your situation more severe, and your health will deteriorate, then you must not fast.

If you know for a fact that you can fast, and you can manage your situation, like sleeping during most of the day, and taking your medication at night, and it wont harm you, then do so.

If you need to get the surgery done, then also pursue that as well. 

If you are not going to fast, then the compensation is to pay  'fidyah', which is 750grams of food to the poor, for each day.

They have no right to direct hurtful remarks to you, and they will be responsible for that. Unfortunately, some family-run businesses become very toxic and a reason for severing ties with family members. 

They might not know how these comments are hurting you, so explain it to them. They might not mean it as well. Many people express their frustration or anger with verbal outcry, saying bad things. 

You must try to overlook that, for the sake of your work. Try to perfect your work contribution as well, so you dont give them an excuse to say anything but praise. 

If things get worse, try to save up enough to do your own work, but do not leave on bad terms.

Involve parents, elders, or your local scholar qualified for this to intervene. Have a meeting, try to find ways of reconciling. Try to exhort all effort in amending the relationship, so that if your only choice is divorce, you will do so consciously and responsibly. 

Please watch this, as it will hopefully benefit you in making your decision the right way.

Yes, it will invalidate your fast, so you must find alternative times to take them.

If he is still non-baligh, non-mukallaf, he can eat it, but I would definitely not recommend such a thing. We believe that non-halal food has a deep impact on the human spirit and mind, and even physical impact. Try to find alternatives for him, without compromising, and instill in him the importance of halal food, and sacrifices a Muslim makes for the sake of his/her religion and obedience to Almighty God who put all these laws and rulings for reasons that will benefit us.

I do not know your circumstances, and you might both have a valid reason as to why you have not got married yet, but I do not really understand what "respectful long-distance relationship" is. Does it mean you are married, or in a temporary contract, or neither?

Decide to either commit to each other by getting married and being husband and wife, or make your final decision. It is unfair to be in limbo state like this. 

If after 3 years, you still do no know if you can share a picture or not, what have you both been doing? Only you can make the evaluation and judgment of how far to take this, and whether you should share your personal images, or not.

Please remember the purpose of relationships, especially from what our religion Islam says.

You would definitely have enough time in your busy morning, while being awake, to take a 2 minute break and fast. If your employer does not allow it, remove yoursel from this job.

It is a major sin to deliberately not pray, and all the blessings and positivity will be taken away and drained from you if you were to intentionally not pray and take it lightly.

Yes, it would be allowed, as long as what is mentioned is observed. 

No, it would not be classified as makruh.

If the time period is over, you must recite a new contract, with new time-period and new mahr.

If you still have some time left for the temporary contract (let's say2 days left), and you both decide to extend, the man frees the woman for the remaining period, then recite the new contract together.

Yes, it is allowed, but jurists include it as one of the makruh things to do when with spouse. Some jurists also said that this is specific to the man. He can still have a top on, or cover himself with something. 

One view is that this at a time that the intention to copulate is for conceiving a child, where all mustahab and makruh things should be observed, as angels could attend, and out of shyness to the angels. This view is based on a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.), from the Prophet (s.a.w.).

Yes, it would be allowed, as long as it does not entail any other haram act. However, you must look at it ethically, and whether would it be appropriate to be in such proximity to a non-mahram?
