Answer:

Wudu without clothes naked

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Q-1: can male or female do (ablution)wudu without any cloth on the body, is it acceptable.

To the best of our knowledge there is absolutely nothing in the Quran or the Sunnah which states that ‘wudu’ done in a naked state is invalid.

The scholars in Islam are almost unanimous in their opinion that if one happens to perform the ‘wudu’ while in a state of nakedness, their ‘wudu’ would be considered valid.

Q-2: giving shape to eyebrow by removing some of the hair from eyebrow is haraam

Sahih Al-Bukhari 7.815 Narrated by Abdullah

Allah has cursed those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their eye-brow hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change the features created by Allah. Why then should I not curse those whom the Prophet (saws) has cursed?

Q-3: is their any surah or dowah for children to listen to their parents, if their pls tell me, my 3 1/2 years is very mischiefand not listening a single word of mine.

Respected sister, if the mere recitation of a ‘Surah’ or a ‘Dua’ were enough to make a child obedient to their parents, then Prophet Adam (a.s.) and Prophet Nuh (a.s.) would have recited the ‘dua’ unto their disobedient and rebellious children!!!

Besides sister, it is only natural that a 3 ½ year old toddler of doting and loving parents will be playful and mischievous; and that is nothing to worry about just yet. As the child grows to an age of basic understanding, and with love and care, and a dose of caution and discipline provided by his/her loving parents, the child will gradually become obedient, Insha Allah.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
