Do I have to live with my in-laws as a Muslim wife?

Not by default: most scholars say a wife has the right to a private home suited to her husband's means, but may agree to live with his family.

No, you don't have to do everything at once. Start with belief, prayer and cleanliness, then grow step by step; small regular deeds are most beloved.

Yes, Islam asks you to honour and care for elderly parents even if they are not Muslim, at home, with carers or in a care home if needed.

Usually no: ear drops and ear cleaning don't break the fast for most contemporary scholars. Take care only if your eardrum is perforated.

The hadith says angels of mercy do not enter a house with a dog or pictures. Scholars explain which angels and which dogs; see what it means for you.

Yes, the Prophet ﷺ raced Aisha twice. She won first, he won later and said 'This is for that'. It shows play and fun belong in a Muslim marriage.

Yes, women can attend a Muslim funeral and pray the funeral prayer. Scholars differ on whether women should follow the coffin to the grave.

Yes, in most cases a young boy can stay with his mother. Mosques usually move boys to the men's section once they can pray properly; ask yours.

It depends. If you pray together, your wife stands behind you; if you each pray alone, standing near each other is fine. Hanafis are stricter.
