Q: Khalid Sayed recently made an apology for his kufr statement against the Honourable Khulafa e Raashideen (radhiyallahu ‘anhum). 

We wish to find out whether his apology is sufficient or does he have to renew his Imaan and Nikah as we understand that he made Irtidaad with his defiling statement against the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum)?

Q: I live in a Muslim country. Can I move to Italy which is a non-Muslim country to acquire an mbbs degree and practice medicine? It is neccessary to state that this mbbs degree and practicing medicine is also possible in my Muslim country. I just want to move there due to the extra facilities. So is it permissible to move to Italy knowing that haraam is freely available there?

Q: I have a contemporary business question to inquire about.

Would it be permissible to apply for work at a company that deals with various financial schemes if:

The company sells clothing and furniture and offers various financial services for its customers such as credit purchases, lay-by's, higher purchases, loyalty programs for monthly fees and so forth.

Customer will make use of these financial scheme services that are offered to allow them paying less at one time but the consequences of not paying cash incur interest which happens to many.

The work I would be doing is directing calls, working in despatch during certain hours and the rest in, reconciliating ledgers and providing debtors and creditors list regularly, in line with their financial scheme pay back plans which makes part of the work to record interest that is owed to and paid for by the customers.

I would like to know the Islamic perspective on whether or not it will be permissible for me to work and earn halaal money from the company for the services I will render? Or should I find work that does not involve recording of interest.

Q: When in jamaat, I heard this story being narrated in the bayaans often, under the quality of salaah. The story is as follows:

A Sahaabi (radhiyallahu anhu) had no food in his home. He then went to the masjid and read 2 rakaats of salaah and returned home. He found that there was still no food, and then returned to the masjid to read another 2 rakaats of salaah and returned again to still find no food. For the third time he done this. On his return after the third time, he found that the mill was producing flour on its own. He filled all the containers in his home, and then opened the mill and it stopped making flour.

When he reported the incident to Rasoolullaah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), Rasoolullaah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) told him that if he did not open the mill, it would have continued making flour until the day of qiyaamah.

I want to find out if the above story is authentic.

Q: My question is regarding the significance of Tuesdays. I was recently advised by someone that I should not sign transfer papers or important documents on a Tuesday and it is preferable to do it on a Jummah if possible. I have never heard anything regarding this before. Is there anything in the Hadith or Quraan about Tuesdays being a bad day or a day on which important activities should not be conducted?
