My father expired and he have some amount from selling one asset now that amount is in my mothers custody, what is the rule on khums on that amount?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the Khums of that amount was paid by your father, then no Khums again on it. Any amount which was Khumsable must be cleared by paying its Khums before distribution of the inheritance.

Can a female doctor participate in humanitarian missions? Are there any specific Islamic rulings or conditions regarding women engaging in such work? Additionally, is the consent of a father or spouse required before accepting such a mission?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Helping people in need is very much encouraged in Islam. Female doctor who help people in need in any humanitarian mission will be rewarded just like male doctor who help people in need. Hijab and abiding the Islamic rules is compulsory in every Muslim female. Father's consent is necessary if she is unmarried as well as husband's permission if she is married.

Is it right for me to confront my father about hurting my mother, knowing it may upset him? His manipulative behavior and lack of support are impacting my mental health, and I feel anxious watching my mother suffer emotionally while he disrespects her.
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You must always respect your parents no matter how they behave and you must avoid any act or word which can hurt their feelings. Even if ur father is misbehaving with ur mother u are not to confront him as it can hurt his feelings and cause disrespect to him. You can support your mother emotionally with out disrespecting your father.

I am a 30-year-old man from the UK, recently practicing my faith more seriously. I am not yet circumcised. My father is critically ill, and I may need to prepare his body. Am I permitted to do so, or am I still ritually impure despite performing ghusl?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Circumcision is obligatory in every Muslim male if he is still uncircumcised no matter what his age is. Uncircumcised Muslim male is not ritually impure though he is not allowed to perform Tawaf around the Ka'bah. He is allowed to perform all the other worship practices like Salah, fasting etc. preparing the body of your father after his demise  is valid even if you are still uncircumcised. I advise you to get circumcised as soon as you can.
