Q: On Amazon and other online stores, there's a type of installment payment that involves interest. The buyer takes out a loan from the bank to pay for the product in installments, and the store pays the seller upfront without any interest.

It's not possible to disable this payment option on these stores.

We would like to inform you that the raw materials used in our whey protein, including the rennet involved in the process, are halal certified. You can confidently choose either whey protein isolate or concentrate, as both meet the required standards."

2. If someone feels that they have had a vision of Jannah in a state of being awake and they see someone wearing a white garment, could they have seen Jannah because in the Quran it is described that the people of Jannah will have green clothing?

Q: My father wants advice regarding his will. 

He wants to know if he gave his sons their shares while he was alive, does he needs to include the sons in the will if they have received their shares already? He has not given his daughter's their shares yet, only the sons. 

And is the ruling the same regarding the distribution of assets for the father and mother to the children in the will?
