Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Ignore these intrusive thoughts. What ignore means is dont repeat. Whatever the circumstance may be, to avoid developing waswasah, dont repeat. This is your fiqhi duty.

And Allah knows best

You are travelling, and will be there for less than 10 days, so you cannot fast or pray full. Only when you are in the Holy Haram, you can pray full.

Men should do the ihram evening time, and catch the train after that, so it is at night.

Bismihi ta'āla

No, it is not permissible for you to sit at that table, if  alcohol is being consumed at the table.

You have various options, to either decline from going, asking to be seated at a non-alcohol table, etc.

And Allah knows best.

Bismihi ta'āla

If it is water resistant, you cannot do wudhu with it. As for a fake tan, as long as it is not "water-proof", you can do wudhu over it.

The criterion is water reaching the skin, for wudhu and for ghusl.

Bismihi ta'āla

If the signs of blood is not that of haydh, it is istihadha.

And Allah knows best.

This is interestingly a "new research", accommodating to today's popular trend. 

Cannibalism is also common among animals, even their own babies. A lot of animals eat their own excrement, or self-mutilate, chewing off their own limbs. Some animals kill their partner, once mating season is finished. 

A lot of animals are monogamous for life. There are animals that can change sex, or are two-sexed, and there are animals that don't need to mate to reproduce. 

The point here is that the argument of comparing human behaviour to animals is a very weak argument, and does not justify anything.

Bismihi ta'āla

There are no obligations or responsibilities he has towards you, and no obligations or responsibilities you have to him. No rights as well, other than him giving you the mahr you agreed upon. 

You can end it, only by him freeing you for the remaining period, so one must make sure they do not make the mistake of making the time-period too long, and do this only for the sake of it becoming a permanent marriage.

And Allah knows best

Bismihi ta'āla

Yes, she can marry. Why should she not be able to marry. She did haram, and repented. None of this has anything to do with her being a Seyyidah, and we all know that Islam does not give superiority to any race or group of people or person. The only person that is better than others is he/she with better piety.

And Allah knows best

Bismihi ta'āla

Whatever your view may be about man-made laws and courts, it has nothing to do with shirk and kufr. It seems the issue your wife has with you is not about courts. What you should is try to mend the relationship, if you can, and avoid having these kind of arguments.

And Allah knows best

Bismihi ta'āla

No, it is not possible. The time duration either ends, or the man frees the woman for the remaining period.

Bismihi ta'āla

No, wiping it will not remove the najasah. There must be pouring of water.

You might be better to just keep it that way, although you might be concerned about using it when your hands sweat, etc, or maybe trading the laptop with another new one.

It might be a bit risky, but you can put the laptop upside down, and spray water upwards, hoping it does not go in, and then dry it quickly. It does not need kurr water, and does not need a lot of water as well. This is just a suggestion.
