No, eyes cannot get impure.

The eyelid can, because its external, and simply putting it under water would purify it.

Saliva . Dog . Najasa (Impurity)
When I was a kid I remember playing with dogs but I don't know whether I did touch it or not and if its fur or saliva got onto me. Am I to be considered in a major state of impurity? Is everything I touched during the years impure?

Bismihi ta'ala,

When you were a kid, you were not mukallaf, so completely dismiss all that time, and don't ponder on it.

Hawza
I am looking for Hawza studies but unable to go physically due to my full time work. Is academic style Hawza which offers Diploma, BA, MA in Islamic studies online a good alternative?

That would be a good alternative, if you wish to pursue the sciences of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) and study to further your knowledge in your religion. I would encourage you to make sure you register with a recognised institute, supervised by a qualified mainstream scholar.

Ghusl . Time . Tayammum . Spirituality . Najasa (Impurity) . Salah (Prayers)
If a married couple have become impure, and they don't want to do Ghusl for health or such reason, is it permissible to extend offering Salah until such a time that only Tayammum remains possible?
Zaid Alsalami, Shaykh Dr Zaid Alsalami is an Iraqi born scholar, raised in Australia. He obtained a BA from Al-Mustafa University, Qom, and an MA from the Islamic College in London. He also obtained a PhD from... Answered 2 anni fa

Bismihi ta'ala

Looking at this example, the reason to avoid ghusl is for aesthetic reasons, so as to avoid loss of hair, due to excessive ghusls per day.

The couple can cut down on what leads to ghusl, and prioritise their 'ibadah and make sure their relationship with Almighty God is always stronger than their lust. 

Intimacy is very good, but not such that it makes one think in this kind of a way, and deliberately miss out on prayer. 

Ghusl should not take more than 2 minutes, all together, and not that much water as well. Therefore, if the couple do have a fear of hair loss, minimising the shower time is good option. It is also mentioned that cold water is good for hair. 

And Allah knows best

Yes, whether the female is Muslim born or converted to Islam, he will still need to follow the correct shar'i and traditional Islamic custom of process of proposal and everything else.

Father . Husband . Woman . Hijab
Can a father or a husband or any other individual oblige a woman to wear the Hijab? If she refuses to wear it can a father, for example, ground her?

Bismihi ta'ala

Hijab is an obligation, and it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to observe their hijab, according to the boundaries and requirements of dress code set for each gender.

It should not need to reach any form of punishment, because the Muslim should be proud and honoured to implement and practice his/her faith.
