Today, I've watched a video on Youtube regarding common martial issues and got to know that the origin of those marital problems is in the concept of "Joint Family" -(which you will see in the sub-continent), most of the time 2 scenarios are happening in the joint families, either the in-laws are wrong and evildoer or the wives are the evil persons in making of those chaoses in the family. And it is totally unacceptable -the habit of living together under the same roof ; and in those family a man marries a woman and she is bound to act like a servant of his family and this is not islam -- these are things I've learnt so far from the video (made by a renowned Sheikh). My question is, what would be the perfect flawless family format, in what structure the family should construct in, if the sons start living separately then whom the parents will live with? Or who will take care of them, you know what I mean. So please provide me with an eloquent elaborate answer of this matter with authentic evidences. Thanks in Advance! Jazakallah!

I've had a crush on a boy when I was small cause of his character,personality and everything.but I never told anyone about it and prayed to allah daily for his goodness,health and everything.i didnt see him after he changed school.but I had hope and never stopped praying to allah for his success both in world and akhirah.i had no idea where he was still didn't give up. While scrolling through social media I found him and even though I didn't want any relationship at that moment I wanted to tell how much he meant to me.that moment I came to know he had loved me too but he didn't know how to say and he thought that I was a good girl and won't take it in a nice way.but we started talking casually. But later on decided to stop for the sake of allah and wait until our marriage. And let him bring the proposal and let it be a proper halal arranged marriage and no one needs to know about the past except him,me and Allah..is this the right decision?

**Generally,** Is it halal (allowed) to use condom or any other things like copper-T to prevent pregnancy between married couples? **Consider the following situation:** If a women has two children (both are caesarean), and her doctor asked her to set up a family plan, since it will be danger for her health if she has another pregnancy. But the couple refuses to do that. In this situation, is it halal to use condom/copper-T to avoid pregnancy?

I am really concerned about what is going on in my country which is family planning to avoid children. Is it allowed in Islam because I believe what Allah has ordained for us will surely happen and I believe that we shouldn't hesitate to follow what Allah has enjoined us to do. I am from Nigeria.
