Q: I have read somewhere that it is better to avoid wearing Nike, because it symbolizes a 'Greek mythical figure' (if you know what I mean). But what about selling the shoes.  Because Nike and Jordan are amongst the best selling shoes.

Crypto Currencies

Q: Is day trading in cryptocurrencies halal? Day trading basically means buying and selling your shares within a day. Note, I have knowledge concerning this subject and for me it is not like gambling. What I do (and almost everyone else does) is checking the chart and based on the chart's movements, I make a decision whether or not it could be a good trade. However, what made me doubt the legitimacy was gharar and maysir. I have done so much research about these terms and it still remains kind of unclear whether it is a form of gharar and/or maysir.

Making an intention to gift half of one's property

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2018-04-05 07:04

Q: Muhammad owns a property. He was thinking of giving his wife half ownership of the property and may have made an intention in his heart to gift it. He never told her verbally directly or indirectly about this and as far as she is concerned it belongs to him. Neither did he tell anybody else or wrote anything about it.

He later decided against giving it. Does he still own the full property or does his wife now own half?

Selling samples

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-04-03 08:43

Q: I am an intern doctor. We get many samples of medicine from different pharmaceuticals companies. They gives us the sample and describe about the ingredients, benificial ratio for patient and we also can learn of newer generations of medicine which is available now in our country. The packet of samples contain only few medicines e.g.: 2/3 tablets, 1 injection, etc. Because its only a physician sample and over the packet it's written that "physician's  sample, not for sale".

Now my question is, 'Is it halal to sell this sample and use the money for myself'? Many interns sells this product at 40-50% less than the market price. If it is not halal then can I sell and give the money to an orphan child?
