Earning through doing class assignments and exams for people

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-09-11 08:03

Q: I have a question regarding one domain of modern day freelance work. People contact me through the freelancing website (where I have my profile made that mentions the subjects that I'm expert in) and ask me to do their class assignments and projects. Sometimes, they also require help on their tests and exams both online and inside the class. We decide a price with mutual consent and I get paid once the work is delivered.

Now I have a couple of questions:

1- Is this mode of earning permissible?

2- If not, then what about all the money that I have earned and spent on myself and my family till this time and this amount will turn out to be not so little as I've been working in this mode for last 2 years.

3- What about the profits and investments in the property and other traditional businesses that I have done using this money that I have earned from the above mentioned work mode?

4- What about the savings that I have in hand for the time being?

Becoming a police officer

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2018-09-10 07:57

Q: I live in canada and have studied to become a police officer. Praise be to Allah he has guided me to be closer to him. Originally I didn’t think there was anything wrong with being a police officer. However recently I have read some websites that have declared it an act of kufr and shirk. Now my life has come to a halt because I’m unsure of what to do.

The reasons they gave for it being an act of kufr or shirk are:

1) I am enforcing man made laws

2) I have to take an oath

3) there is a tiny cross on top of a crown on the police arm patches ( could I just cover the cross)?

4) I may have to arrest muslims who break the law and the courts here are non Islamic as well as the jails.

5) domestic abuse is a big problem here, I may get called and if one of the spouses feels threatened or does not want the other to be around or they look physically abused, then I will have to arrest the perpetrator for the safety of the other until something is figured out between them personally or in court.

6) I would be assisting in sin because laws here permit things like drinking, however public intoxication isn’t permitted and I could ticket them if I chose to or if it’s really bad, I could arrest them. but, logically I wouldn’t be able to ticket everyone, if anyone at all, unless they are causing problems.

For your reference these are the oaths, I would have to take: 

I solemnly swear (affirm) that I will be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen and to Canada, and that I will uphold the Constitution of Canada and that I will, to the best of my ability, preserve the peace, prevent offences and discharge my other duties as (insert name of office) faithfully, impartially and according to law. So help me God. (Omit this line in an affirmation.) or I solemnly swear (affirm) that I will be loyal to Canada, and that I will uphold the Constitution of Canada and that I will, to the best of my ability, preserve the peace, prevent offences and discharge my other duties as (insert name of office) faithfully, impartially and according to law. So help me God. (Omit this line in an affirmation.)

Selling jewellery with kufr connotations

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2018-09-09 07:42

Q: I work in a jewellery store in which we sell watches, ear rings, different chains and in those chains we also sell some Christian stuff like Jesus face, etc. I personally don't like to sell this stuff and I don't own the store. I recently quit the job and I was working in a clothing store but after working for 15 days I was fired and I again joined this jewellery store.

I want to know what kind of a sin is this? Is it just a sin or its shirk?

Alhumdulillah I pray all my salah and I'm good but this thing is bothering me so much. Also, I told my boss that I was fired and I need a job in his warehouse. He told me that it will take some time to work in the warehouse but for now I can work in the jewellery store so I joined again.
