Options to sell an item that one does not have stock of

4 months ago By user2

Q: I am selling physical products on an online website. I had one product in stock, but got two orders for that product. Now, I have two options: 

1. Manufacture the extra product to fulfill both my customers orders. 

2. Buy the extra product from elsewhere and then get it shipped to my customer. 

Are these options halaal? I know that dropshipping is not allowed Islamically as the seller does not own the product at the time of the sale, that is why I want clarification.

Q: I permanently work and reside in Sydney, Australia with family while not owning any property here. My parents live in Lahore, Pakistan in a house under their ownership whereas I own a residential plot in Islamabad, Pakistan. 

I'd like to know if I am travelling and staying at any of the above three locations under 14 days, where should I offer full prayers and where would qasr prayer be required?

Shooting paintballs that have pig gelatine and performing salaah with paintball stains on one's clothing

Q: 

1. Is it permissible to shoot paintballs, now that there is evidence to show that the paintballs are made from swine?
Will the masala differ according to how much of pig gelatine is used in the paintball? 

2. Can a person perform salaah if he has these paintball stains on his clothes?

Will a person be a musaafir or muqeem when staying in Makkah and Aziziyyah?

Q: Insha Allah I have intention for Hajj. So we leave on the 28th of April from JHB. 

We'll be 10 days in Makkah

Then 12 days in Azzizia

Then 6 days of Hajj 

Then another 6 days in Azzizia. 

So what I want know is where am I musaafir in this whole trip and where am I muqeem? Do I regard Makkah and Azzizia as 1 or what?
