1- What's the ruling for eating halal food in plates / bowls/ pots used for cooking haram food in there?
Ĥanafiy Answer: They have to be cleaned in flowing water until all traces of najis filth are gone. If they have been washed in the kitchen sink, run some water from the tap over them before using them. If they have been cleaned in a dishwasher, then that should be sufficient if the water is changed 3 times or more (even if it was mixed with soap.) In the Shaafiˆiy school, however, if the najis is from a dog or a pig, then it must be washed 7 times, including one time with water mixed with soil.

5- What I understand , anything that comes in contact with dogs (its hair or saliva), needs to be washed 7 times. My husband's mother has dogs. What should me and my husband do every time we go to visit her? Because it's important for a son (even after he becomes a Muslim) to have a good relationship with his mother regardless of her religion Or we just can't be bothered to visit her?
Ĥanafiy Answer: The dog saliva and sweat is najis, but there is no need to wash with soil except according to Asħ-Sħaafiˆiy. If you come in contact with a dry dog, this does not transfer any najis to you. Only if it is wet, because its sweat is najis, or if it licks, because its saliva is najis.

Sħaafiˆiy Answer: Shaking hands with a non-maĥram of the opposite gender that has reached an age when a normal person might find him/her attractive breaks one's wuđuu. This would apply to your husband's uncles and brothers (if any), but not his father. In front of these you are not allowed to show more than you hands below the wrist, and your face, and it is sinful to shake hands with them.
