Q: I would like to query the issue below:

I am part of a body corporate of a complex based. The body corporate has been in place for about +/- 12 years and it has been run by the Muslim men of the complex. The complex comprises of various owners, Muslim and non-Muslim.

We have recently moved our banking over to FNB Islamic banking. Prior to this, we have accumulated an amount of +/- R22 000 interest money which we had kept aside after the move to Islamic banking. The body corporate is non-profit and we only act in the best interest and upkeep of the complex.

We as the body corporate would like to query if it is permissible or not to use this interest money as this money belongs to the complex which comprises of Muslim and non Muslim owners. We as the body corporate are held liable for the money of the complex.

The investment account which the interest was accumulated from was only opened as this is a law according to the CSOS act which is government regulated.

Please advise the correct manner/s in which this interest money should be dealt as we would like to make the correct decision going forward.

Q: Yesterday I performed ghusal for janabat in the afternoon and urinated two times. One time before ghusal (after discharge) and one time during ghusal and did not see any manni. But after that, the next time I urinated was this morning and some drops of colourless sticky liquid came out after the urine. I also have pain in my kidneys from yesterday. Do I have to perform ghusal again or not? 

Q:

1. How does one repent? Does one have to repent through dua for it to be accepted? Or can one just be talking in a room alone, as if they are talking to Allah?

2. Does one have to be in pure clothes or state for repentence to be accepted?

3. Is it true that Allah doesn't accept forgivenss from someone who isn't talking to another muslim? Does this mean their repentence will not or is not accepted nor will their good deeds? What if the Muslim they aren't speaking to is rude, swears or drinks alcohol and sells cigarettes. What if the person has ego and degraded the other person. Insha Allah they will eventually try to speak to them in the future when they get the opportunity when the time is right.
