Is there a reliable Hadith that advises against sexual intercourse while standing? If yes, then is it permissible for the husband to remain standing while the wife is seated?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

This view has not been firmly established, and you must refer to your Marja' taqleed. 

And Allah knows best
If a husband requests his wife to wash his clothes, which is within her ability, is she obligated to comply? If he supports her and asks her to perform household chores, does that make it compulsory for her to obey in such Halal and feasible matters?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If there was an understanding between them that he spends on her more than the basic needs of food and clothes and shelter and she looks after the household matters, such understanding makes it compulsory on both of them to full fil that mutual understanding. Some people say that wife has no responsibility at all at home more than matrimonial matters for her husband, but many scholars say that the understood agreement on her responsibilities at home matters and must be obliged.

A married couple is in a long-distance relationship for 2 years and use video calls to address their sexual desires. But the husband asks the wife to stimulate herself to arouse him. Does this act count as masturbation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Masturbation is not permissible. Wife is not allowed to arouse herself by her own hands or body. Her husband is allowed to do that for her physically when he is with her and not from long distance.

Would Mut'ah marriages be allowed in paradise? Would a woman who had multiple Mut'ah marriages be limited to having only one husband in paradise?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There are two opinions among the scholars in this matter. One opinion says: Yes, Mut’ah marriages will be allowed in Paradise because of the Quranic verse about Paradise: And It will have everything which is desired by anyone). (Sura 43, verse 71).

This opinion also says that woman who wants more than one husband will be allowed to have in Paradise more than one husband.

The other opinion says that the desires in Paradise will be different from the desires in this worldly life as the believers in Paradise will see the Truth which did not see in worldly life. All the desires in Paradise will be pure and noble, so no one in Paradise will desire something which is not noble. No believing woman in Paradise will desire more than one husband.

These are the two opinions and we leave the real answer to Allah (SWT) as we have not yet seen the Paradise and we pray to Allah (SWT) to Grant us the Paradise, then we will know the reality which we don't know in this world.

Wassalam.
