Q: We find many people broadcasting jokes about Julius Malema, Jacob Zuma, Barrack Obama, Blonde Jokes, Indian Jokes, etc. What is the status of these jokes in Shariah? If an article has been prepared on this topic I will indeed forward it to all my contacts Insha Allah.
Q:
1. Zaid invested R300 000 in Khalid’s small business called “Quality Peanuts.” Zaid started working with Khalid and Zaid made a great effort to make the business a complete success. Zaid invented a new name and look for the product and called it “Super Peanuts” and did a lot of marketing which picked up the business to a great extent, after which the profits went on a major increase. Zaid told Khalid that he wants R3000 every month as a salary together with receiving his share of profits (if there did happen to be anything over and above R3000). Is this permissible?
2. The money which Zaid invested with Khalid was lent to Zaid by Ahmad. Now, when Ahmad saw how much money Zaid was making, Ahmad made a plan. Ahmad told Zaid that he wanted all his money back, so Zaid told Khalid that he wants his money back and that he was leaving the business. A deal was arranged where Khalid would pay Ahmad out slowly and Zaid left the business. Many months later, Zaid found out from different reliable sources that Ahmad told Khalid, “Don’t worry, it was just a plan. I am now taking Zaid’s place in this business. Keep the R300 000 and give me the profits every month.” For many months thereafter, Khalid collected the profits. To whom does the profit of all these months belong, Khalid or Zaid?
3. Zaid made it clear from the start and everyone agreed that “Super Peanuts” is his brand name and he owns it. Now, they are continuing to use his brand name and are denying that it is his brand name. Is this permissible?
