1. It is Haraam (strictly prohibited) for you to be associated with the music site in any way, that includes taking money from ads on the music site.
2. Erthquakes is a sign of qiyaamat being near.
3. If the shawl covers the exposed area of the hands and the transparent clothes, then it is permissible to perform Salaat in that condition.
4. It is permissible and would be considered as a service fee.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
