Answer
1. It is Sunnah to cover the head when going to the toilet. One may use the same Topi used for Salaat.
2. Wet dreams are not a sign of hypocrisy. There are many factors that can cause an increase in wet dreams. Some factors are psychological, e.g. diet, etc. and some factors are spiritual, e.g. not guarding the gaze. Make endervour to practise on the Shari'ah and Sunnah and thereafter do not be bothered by an increase in wet dreams.
3. Bay'at means to take a pledge of allegiance. This is generally undertaken by placing one's hands in the hands of the one on which one is taking Bay'at and reciting the words of allegiance. In the case of Bay'at of Tariqah (Bay' at at the hands of a spiritual guide), it is essential to first establish a Munaasabat (congeniality) with the Shaykh and one must have absolute confidence in him. Then only will there be true benefit in the Bay'at. 4. One may claim from the one who has done you harm. Even if the person acquires the claimed amount from his insurance company, it will be permissible for you to accept it.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
