Q: During dinner in my hostel Chinese noodles were being served and even chapati was being served. The guy who serves the noodles serves the chapati too.

I don't know whether they add ajinomoto to it or not and even if they add it may also be halaal but I don't know whether they used it or not and even after eating the chapatii with curry my mouth got oily and I drank lots of water and I cleaned the lips and that area for like 10 to 12 times without a single drop of that water falling on me but again sometime later I felt oily on my lips so I ignored it and rubbed it with my hands and touched my pants so am I pure?

Q: Zaid, Umar, and Bakr are friends. Zaid has an item in his hand and asks Umar, "Umar, do you want this?" Umar replies in the affirmative. Zaid then places the item on the table in front of him. Umar leaves the room without the item. He intends fetching the item later on. Bakr is not aware of all this. Later in the day, Umar sees Bakr going home with the same item. When Umar asks Zaid about this, Zaid replies: "You did not take physical possession of the item. I thought you never want this gift. That is why I gave it to Bakr." Umar objects saying that he responded in the affirmative when Zaid asked if he wanted the item.

1. Who truly owns the item?

2. Is it true that since Umar did not take physical possession of the item, it still belongs to the original owner, Zaid?
