I discipline my kids strictly to avoid Haram things but my husband agrees to their demands ignoring that we both will be sinful for this permission. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should always fulfill your responsibility to protect your kids from harmful things, and nothing more harmful and damaging than sinful acts. If your husband allows your kids sinful acts, that does mean that you have no responsibility to protect them. You must talk to him in a suitable way to prove to him that both of you are responsible to protect your kids. You also need to explain to your kids the as much they can understand the concept of good and bad. Your husband will not permit your kids to eat a sweet which contaminated with microbes because it is harmful for their health, so, how can he permit sinful acts which are more harmful?

Do whatever you can (with wisdom) to protect yourself and your family from Hellfire, as Allah said: O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is men and stones. Sura 66, Verse 6.

I think I have some sort of condition but I can’t go to the doctor. I would like to tell my husband but I feel like it is impossible. I prayed to Allah to make it go away but nothing is getting better. What should I do?
Amina Inloes

Sorry to hear about your condition. If you need medical care, you should get medical care.

If you feel unable to tell your husband and need financial or practical assistance, maybe a friend, relative, or charitable organization can help you. 

With duas for your well-being. 
I have PCOS and am getting married in 4 months. We are not planning to have children immediately and I am starting medication in hopes that my condition improves by the wedding. Am I obliged to tell my husband about my condition?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

I have consulted a specialist who said that PCOS is not a difficult condition and it can be cured with correct treatment. In such case you do not need to inform your husband about it as far as the proper treatment is going on or will be started.

Must we obey our husband in all matters whether they relate to Wajib, Mustahab, Makruh or Mubah, or are there any exceptions?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wife must obey her husband in matters which are permissible or recommended in Islam. Wife is not allowed to obey her husband if he orders her to leave an obligatory ( Wajib) or to do unlawful (Haraam). 
Exceptions are there when she is unable to do what he wants from her for health reasons.

Wassalam.
