    My father's home town is in Lebanon, and I was born in Canada and I currently live there. Do I consider the hometown of my father as my own? Also if my father has died do I also still regard it as my hometown?

    It is not considered as your hometown unless you live in it and intend to consider it as your hometown.

    I read that in the sitting position of the prayer you should put your right foot in the sole of you left foot; when I do this I have lots of pain in my left foot. Can I sit in any other position to avoid pain?

    The said sitting position is recommended and not obligatory.

    If a person wears the Ihram clothes in Medina after performing Ghusl, and then leaves for the Meeqat at Masjid al-Shajarah, can he form the intention of Ihram there in Masjid al-Shajarah without Ghusl and supplication?

    Yes, it is permissible.

    Is it permissible to get my nose or lip pierced?

    Based on an obligatory precaution, it is impermissible to cause a major harm to one's body. If this does not cause a severe harm then it is permissible. In any case, we advise you to refrain from doing such things, as it is an act of frivolity. If it encourages misguidance and deviation, then it becomes prohibited.
