The curse of Allah on the lying husband because he is putting a false allegation on his innocent wife but when the wife takes oath denying a crime knowing that she did commit then she will be entitled to the anger of Allah SWT. As she knows that she did commit the major sin of fornication and Allah is seeing everything yet she takes oath with the name of Allah denying what Allah has seen she will be then challenging and opposing Allah SWT and she will deserve anger of Allah.Wassalam

We need to teach our children not to believe any claim or idea with out real evidence. Social media is open for facts and lies so we need to verify what we read and not to blindly take what is been published.

No. Abortion is killing a human being in early formation. Abortion is not permissible at all except in the case of saving the life of the mother if pregnancy can kill her.

This would depend on the method of how it was set. Was it a vow, recited in the shar'i formula, or not? 

If it was a vow, your father is able to release you from it. Please refer to detailed Ahkam books for further explanation.

And Allah knows best

It is wrong for your wife to pry into your past sins, and if it has nothing to do with your current life or has no involvement with your marriage, it is haram for you to disclose it to others. We are not allowed to expose our previous sins to others, or confess to anyone about the past, especially if we have repented. 

She should refrain from asking you about it, and you do not need to lie. You just refuse to give any information about it. 

With prayers for your success

Lying is a major sin except in defending Islam and Muslims against the enemies, and in trying to patch up between disputing people.

You should do your best to protect your friend from falling in to sinful acts. If she did not listen to you or to other friends, you should tell her family to help her if you have no other way to help protecting her from wrong.

Lying is saying or expressing falsehood or untrue things. Making excuse depends on the excuse itself which can be true then it is true and permissible as we read in the life of Prophet Ebraheem (AS) in Quran when he wanted to avoid accompanying the wrong people by saying : I am sick ( Sura 37, verse 89).

But if the excuse is untrue e.g. telling someone: I have no money, when you do have money, then it is Haraam.

Avoiding Haraam act is Must and there is no space in the life of believers for unlawful acts willingly. Preventing Haraam in obligatory in every possible way.

Thank you for your question. If you are unable to tell the truth and express that something is against your faith or not recommended in your faith, then you can choose your words such that the person you are speaking to understands one thing, and at the same time you are not directly lying. This is called tawriya in Arabic and is permissible.

May you always be successful.

Shirk is worshipping or believing in worshipping any one or thing beside Allah (SWT). False oath or swearing is a sinful act but it is not Shirk.
