Q: I have been teaching in a maktab for a few years اَلْحَمْدُالَّله. However I have been late a couple a times over the years. I didn't keep record of the times I was late. I feel guilty for this khiyanat I have made. I tried to estimate the time and I calculated an approximate amount. I now want to pay back the jamaat. The issue is the jamaat doesn't want to take back the amount saying that coming late occasionally can be overlooked. I am in the employ of the jamaat and sometimes if there is a ghusal of mayyit to be done during madrassa hours I do the ghusal. Mufti Saheb do I subtract that time from madrassa time too? What would be the ruling in my case.

Q: We have recently found out that medical aid and insurance are not permissible and cancelled ours. We have recently opened a tyre fitment centre. The department of labour have requested us to enter our staff on the system, we did plan on doing so however found out now that they have to have an insurance as their job here entails a risk so if we put them on the system they will be insured and if we don't we could be in trouble with the department of labour.

Q: I am a software engineer, my core competency is to develop & support software. Now I work for a software company which has projects only from one insurance company. So our company is responsible to make sure all IT related infrastructure is up & running all the time for this insurance company. And my job is to support the software application which the insurance company is using, so if the application has any issues or users of the application need any data/reports/help, I need to help them and make sure they don’t face any issues. Mostly I will be sitting in my company and supporting these applications. So I am not directly working for the insurance company. So my question is if it is permissible to work for this software company?

Q: The other day I went to the bathroom to use the toilet and noticed a brown spot on the inside of my underwear. I am not sure how this had come as I had only passed stool the night before only, and after passing stool I had went for a shower/ghusl. In the afternoon around asr time whilst in the bathroom I noticed a brown mark on my underwear and found a mark only on the inside of the underwear. My pants was black so I could not see if there was a mark, I did check and found nothing. I had also checked the same spot on the outside of the underwear and it didn't look like any brown mark there but because it was material there was a slight smell. I had sat on many places during the day, some of these places were my car, rooms in an office, doctors office, home etc. Do these places become napaak wherever I sat? I am always very very careful with regards to istinja and as said I am not sure how this happen. It might have happened when I broke wind etc. Please advise urgently?

Q: Question regarding reciting inaudibly. In my case I was praying Dhuhr Fardh and quietly as to hear my own voice, in my last (4th rak'ah) - I was reciting "Ghayril Maghdoubi" at Maghdoobi, I could only clearly hear "Ma--doobi" the Gha wasn't proper so that I could hear, but I moved my tongue to recite it as normal. Obviously I didn't want to recite "Ma--doobi", so I think I inaudibly said the gha, does this matter or affect the validity of the namaz?

Q: Is there anything wrong with this du'a?: "Oh Allaah, save us from destroying our aakhirah"?
