Q: As you are aware about the corruption in the government presently..we have a building which houses the poor community,which has a common water meter..for some time now there's been a slow reading of the meter. We are passing this benefit on to the tenants,  if we have to inform the municipality..the benefit will stop to the tenants and the rent will increase by R300-00 per unit.

Drawing Arabic calligraphy

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-07-10 07:31

Q: I'd like to enquire about the permissibility of the following

1. Drawing Arabic calligraphy for hanging on one's wall as remembrance of Allah Ta'ala

2. Drawing Arabic calligraphy as a means of remembrance of Allah Ta'ala for others, through which one may derive an income from its sale.

The Arabic calligraphy is legible to one who can recite basic Arabic, and does NOT form animate pictures, nor does it have animate objects in it. Examples are, names of Allah Ta'ala, Quraanic ayaat, zikr (SubhanAllah, Alhamdulilah, etc.). If permissible, then please advise if there are any further details that I should be precautious about.

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-07-10 07:26

Q: If a Muslim has a group of Muslim friends. The man knows zina is haram. His friends dont know zina is haram. The man invites them to commit zina. They all go and commit zina. The man doesn't commit zina.

1. Will the man be getting their sin of zina or he wont be getting their sin of zina since the friends were unaware of the act being haram?

2. Is the man guilty of kufr because his friends did not know zina is haram and they thought it was halal and committed it. (Thinking a haram act as halal and doing it is kufr).
