Q: Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) recommended to recite the dua before entering a masjid. Today many mosques contain areas such as wudu-area and toilet area. Where do we read the dua? Is it on passing the first door of the masjid or on entering the proper prayer area after wudu?
Q: I have a start up that will sell products online in the U.S. I have made small 3d printed stars for use as fridge magnets, but they also can be hanged as a decoration. It is Christmas time in the U.S. and a lot of decoration sales are made during this time.
I have not made a product specifically for Christmas, but my product may be used as a decoration on x-mass trees. I can make a product listing on my online store and add "tags" that help customers find my product. Is it okay for me to add a "christmas" tag to my product, so that it appears easily in searches and attracts sales?
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.
