Answer
1. Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] should also read certain Aayaat from the Qur'aan and then blow on to his right hand, and then rub that hand on the affected area. However, one must believe that it is Allah who gives the shifaa cure and not the person or the water/oil and the like. It is not permissible to recite Faatiha on food, etc. as a custom.
2. For a woman to beautify herself for her husband by wearing a nose ring is permissible. If this nose ring is to be worn for the reason of imitating another culture, e.g. Hindu, etc. then such an act becomes prohibited. Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, 'Whosoever imitates a nation is of them' .
3. Gous paak is the term widely used in the Indo pak subcontinent referring to Muhyiddeen Abdul-Qaadir Jilani [ra]. At a young age, he left his home and went to study in Baghdad under prominent Hanbali Ulama. Throughout his life, people were influenced by his style and content of his lectures. Today, unfortunately, many people do acts of Bid'at and Shirk and attribute it to him.
4. Pouring of water on the kabr has no Shari'ah basis. It was during the time of Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] that when passing by two Qabars that he heard their punishment and then placed two leaves in the two Qabrs and made du'aa that they be given rest until these leaves dry. 5. The singing of a naaths and the like on a specific night, like Thursday, is a Bid'ah (innovation) in Deen. There is no authentic proof in the Shari' ah that this was the practice of Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam[ or his righteous companions.
6. It was the practise of Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] on the night of Jumu'ah should recite Surah al-Kahf. This Surah is the protection against the Dajjaal.
7. The visiting of their Darghas, etc. to make du'aa for the buried is permissible. However, to ask the buried for help or to intercede for you is not acceptable in the Shari'ah.
