Q: I am a truck driver, doing deliveries and pickups mostly all day. Today I was asked to pick a load from a brewery, which is alcohol. I asked the management to change it because I am a Muslim and not allowed to deal with alcohol. Its been two hours and I am sitting in my truck waiting for the decision to be made by management, which can be mean that I could be fired or forced to go home. Kindly let me know if I am allowed to haul alcohol or not, particularly in my case.

Q: I am from India but currently I am pursuing M.B.B.S in Dhaka where I live alone (without my family) in the girls hostel. This is my final year of M.B.B.S.
When I came to Dhaka I had no concept of deen, purdah , etc. and I was completely unaware about the fact that according to our Shari'ah, a girl is not supposed to stay so far without her mahram. Also I came across the fact that all my ibadat; be that namaaz, roza, duaa, any good deed , etc. is not valid while I stay in such conditions without any mahram. I am in need of advice, what should I do?

Q: Please advise me on how to refrain from committing the sins whispered by Shaitaan into my heart? I am constantly getting the urge to shorten my beard and wear western clothings such as t-shirts, jeans, trousers, etc. The temptations I feel are strong and forceful.
Additionally sometimes these temptations depress me when people around me misbehave with me due to my attire being a long robe or a long thoub which is always above my ankle.
Please be advised that under my current employment conditions, I have to live beyond city limits where my shaikh resides and it is very difficult for me to communicate with him as he has become old and frail. Additionally I have a language barrier that I haven't been able to overcome as I was born and raised in an Arab nation and educated in a western system.

Q: Someone wants to buy gold but does not have enough funds and decides to give some amount to the seller and book the gold at the price of the day of booking to prevent paying more by the time he gets more funds. In this case, the gold price may go up or down on the day he will actually give the remainig amount and takes the gold.
Is this a permissible situation or one needs to do the whole deal of paying money and taking gold in the same sitting?
