Sister and brother relationship
I have a brother, but he is not really my brother. I wanna know does Islam allow such a relation? I don’t do any wrong, or even have feelings about him. I feel him as my real brother. So guide me, is it allowed in Islam? -zaraa khan

Can I attend my niece’s Christening?
I have recently embraced Islam and my non-muslim family have taken my new faith quite understandingly. My concern is my new niece is about to be Christened; am I allowed to attend?
I acknowledge not to say or have any ceremonial part of this, however if I do not simply attend I worry this may cause conflict between my family (which I value greatly) and I.. Please help, any advice would be appreciated.
