Sheikh. I am 6 mnth Twin pregnant at the moment and by the time we reach Ramadan in sha Allah I will b at my 8th month. I was told that if I find it difficult to fast during this time I can feed my share of sahur and iftar to any poor instead. and at the same time I am also told that if I give my share of sahur and iftar to poor it will add to my hasanat bit I have to complete the fast after that when ever possible but before next Ramadan. Please advise the right procedure.

Fasting

This is baseless. There is no feeding on you but you must make up whenever you are able to fast even if after the following Ramadan.

I live in an Indian- deobandi community in the U.K. and for a long time now different people have been telling me that I should not eat any meat or chicken when I travel for umrah. They are very stern in their belief that all the animals are slaughtered in Europe and are exported to Saudi Arabia. They claim these slaughterhouses are not according to the shariah.

Maternal aunt & we met each other after long time & she gave 3000 BDT to my brother & gave 3000 BDT to me. As a women , I’m again severely confused about taking full or half of this amount cause I saw scholars mentioning that ,even gifts should be given according to inheritance law to brother & sister. I know there’s difference of opinion. Which opinion can I follow for not being sinful?

No one differs over such a gift from your aunt. They differ whether this is applicable to your parents gift or not and the most authentic opinion that male and females are equal in such a gift.
