Q: I am working in a company in night shifts and I am planning to switch to another company due to salary concerns. To get a higher salary I have edited the payslip of my company's current salary because most of our collegues and I feel that the companies are exploiting us by paying us a less salary and they are getting higher profits. I feel like it is cheating because I am editing my current salary from 17000 and faking it to 21000. I have already been selected and if I join that company, is my income Halal or Haram?

Q: Do you think I can get a fixed (permanent) retainer as opposed to a plastic retainer for my teeth which I can get off and on, just for the simple reason that I feel like a plastic retainer which you take on and off and have to possibly wear forever, will be a nuisance? There have been cases where not wearing your retainer will result in your teeth shifting, which would be a huge waste of money that was spent on braces. I feel like a fixed retainer will be easier for me.
