Q: We supplied stock to Muslim owned wholesaler. This is how the transaction went: 

We quoted a price. The buyer was happy and they placed an order of 10 pallets of stock. We arranged the stock, invoice it and supplied it without any problem. 14 days later the client paid. There was no defect in the product. 2 weeks after they paid, the price of this product dropped in the market, so that is nearly 30 days after they placed the order. 

The item sells at R27 and we supplied it to him at R22. Two weeks after he had it on his floor and the price dropped, he contacted us to say that he can get it at R19. 00 and we must pick up the stock or exchange it for another item with a good price. 

What am I allowed to do it the sharia regarding this situation? 

I did say I can drop this price abit and refund you a R2 but he did not sound happy. This will also put me in a problem as now I have to go and collect the stock at my cost and my profit margin was low when doing this deal. 

As a Muslim business man, is he allowed to instruct me to pick up my stock according to how the transaction took place and refund him or send him other stock for that value. What if I don't have a good deal for him at this moment?

Q: What are the rights of our parents upon us as convert Muslims? (Mind you our parents are non Muslims) Since someone said, even their prayers don't help us with anything because they are not Muslims and they are therefore not important to us because they are non Muslims. Is this true? 

Another question is that once you get married and your parents ask you to do something for them whilst your husband refuses, who should you obey? We know Islam says jannah lies under your mother's feet so when it comes to that, which side does the woman take? Does she have to obey the husband and ignore the parents?

Q: Can I read Aayate Kareema (Prophet Yunus alaihis salaam's dua) everyday 1000 times? 

Can I count it as Istighfaar or Tauba or both? If yes then do I need to do the istighfaar separately or the above 1000 times Aayate Kareema daily is istighfaar as well. 

Does reading Aayate Kareema need ijaazat/permission from any Shaikh, Aalim or Mufti?

Q: I completed umrah and came out of ihraam and only after I realized I read the 2 rakaats waajib tawaaf with old bubblegum in my mouth. What should I do?

Q: Recently in my backyard I built a small cottage for my elderly parents to move into. My father actually built it i.e. he paid for it and alhamdullilah they moved in. So the main house belongs to me as well as the land, only the back cottage belongs to my father. 

I have a 20 yr old son, who my father told him that when we are gone (i.e. my parents), this house (back cottage) is yours. 

Now what happens when my parents leave this world? How does it work with regards to the inheritance etc.? 

And can it lead to problems and what will be the solution? Because my parents will obviously have to live there until they leave this world. 

Q: Someone owes me money and he's not paying. I tried calling him and messaging him many times, but there hasn't been any response. I want to go to his shop which is 3 hours away to get my money from him. 

My question is, can I charge him for the petrol that will cost me to go and fetch my money?

Q: Is it better/more rewarding to read the Witr Salaah with the Esha Salaah or in the early part of the morning (Tahajjud)?

Q: Is it permissible to take pictures but not post or share to the world, and keep it to yourself in your gallery, where it’s just for your eyes?

Q: I went for umrah, landed in Jeddah and my bags didn't come so we proceeded to Makkah, performed umrah and then a message came that our bags are in Jeddah airport. So I took a taxi from Makkah to Jeddah to fetch my bags. 

When re-entering Makkah, do I have to do another umrah or not?

Q: In one masjid on a Thursday night, the imaams conduct a zikr program with various athkaar including durood and some targheeb is also given. However, they have a ladies section in the masjid and ladies are accommodated. People from various parts of town attend. There's also a live streaming link which many listen to. 

What is Mufti Sahebs advise regarding women frequenting zikr majaalis during the night's held in masaajid?
