What does Islam say about the misuse of the Qur'an for worldly gain through unverified Wazifas and relying on random Aalim for rituals? Can these practices affect a person's faith, character, mental health, and family relationships?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Misusing the Quran for worldly gains is a very dangerous sin. Quran is the Word of Allah (SWT) to guide all and it must be taken as the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and his Ahlul Bayt (AS) said. No one has right to create Wazifa from his own away from the authentic narrations from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Can I travel to Dubai with a trusted family friend or my sister's husband, instead of my uncle, who was meant to be my Mahram but is now uncertain about traveling, given that I believe I cannot go alone otherwise?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should not travel with a non Mahram man, like your sister’s husband or a family friend.

Married 2 years ago without my parents’ consent, but nikah was done with a maulvi and my in-laws present. Husband is religious and respectful. Parents still disapprove due to family/status. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should keep on trying to gain your parents (mainly your father's) approval as much as you can. Nice behaviour and serving your parents might make have an impact on them.

We arrive in Makkah 1 day before Ramadan and will stay for 4 days. Can we pray full salah and fast? We will wear ihram at masjid al shajarah and take the train at night. How should men travel whilst avoiding shelter and looking after the family?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

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.
