Q: I am working in a company where we have a provident fund facility. I wanted to take some amount from my PF Account. In case of temporary withdrawal, the company will charge a certain % as loss of interest. Can I borrow this amount from my PF account? The purpose of borrowing is making investing in some areas.
Secondly, the company always gives interest on our PF balance on annual basis so would it be jaiz for us since this activity of fund and participating in fund is mandatory. The decision of investing PF fund is also with trustees of fund and not with us.

Q:
1. Are we allowed to use real dead fish as bait when fishing? Meaning, not the rubber bait, bait like sardines, etc.
2. Are we also allowed to catch and release fish?
3. If 'no' for the above question, the law says that certain fish must be a certain length and they should not be endangered, etc. and if they don't meet those requirements they must be released, or else you can get fined if caught. So if the answer is 'no' for question 2 then what should we do. Will we be sinful if we release the fish once we caught it, because you don't really know what size fish and species you catching until you caught it.
