Can Hijab be forced upon a female Muslim who is not willing to practice it?
Amina Inloes

I guess this is a politically related question, but, in any case, there is no evidence that the Prophet (S) forced women to dress a certain way, he only advised.
In many wedding functions we often see that men and women get together and feast together though in a restricted way. Can we attend such functions or should we boycott them altogether?
Amina Inloes

Yes, you can go to mixed weddings, as long as the gatherings are appropriate and decent. You can use your good judgment about what is appropriate and decent.
As a Muslim girl can I become a civil servant or a bureaucrat while maintaining proper Hijab?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is allowed for Muslim female to work as a civil servant with her full Hijab provided that she keeps her respect, modesty and dignity and not indulge in useless chatting with men who work with her.

Wassalam.
Is it allowed to go a family gathering where women have worn makeup and dressed improperly? And although men and women may be sitting at different tables, there is no barrier. Would it be permissible if not going there would mean severing ties of kinship?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is very important to have good relationship with your relatives but that should never make you disobey Allah in sitting with females who improperly dressed or wearing makeup. We must avoid such gatherings until the participants make proper sitting arrangement for men and women with out mixing. 
Wassalam.
