Q: Many businesses today engage in something called “round tripping”. What they do is purchase goods, thereafter they mark the goods for export and claim the vat back, while the actual goods are not exported but are instead sold locally.

From my understanding, in the process, there are lies spoken (lying to suppliers by saying that the goods are going over the border), bribes are given (a payment is made to border officials and revenue officials to stamp documents and release payments from the revenue services) and corruption is taking place. Is this practice allowed in Islam and is it permissible for us to purchase from these businesses?

Q: I just got married last month and I also don't want to live with my parents because my father creates a miserable situation at home which is going to make an impact on my spouse, my future children and me.

My mother is suffering from this since her marriage and she feels lonely. I asked her to live with me but she said that I can't leave your father but my father does not understand things.

I live in a different city but I want to take care of them because they are alone. I have one elder brother but he is also not interested in living with them.

Before marriage I asked them to move to a city where we can live as neighbours and my mother said Yes it is okay. Now she emotionally blackmailed me and said that we will live with you in the same house so I had to say Yes. I want to take care of them but don't want to live with them in the same house. I said Yes to my mother.

Nowadays, I am with my parents and I am feeling that my parents do not respect my privacy with my wife. I am very very confused about what to do. What I am thinking is that I will ask my mother that if a miserable situation arises in my presence then I will move out and live somewhere else.

Q: My husband and I have been married for 2 years now. We have no children yet. On multiple occasions I caught him cheating on me with some other girl. I know that he is in love with her. I gave him 3 chances already because I didnt want to give up on our marriage. This year I have seen a lot of improvements in him. He has been trying hard to work on our marriage. We went for Umrah as well this past February. I finally felt like things were getting better between us until two days ago. I found him exchanging messages with that same girl and telling her how he feels. They recently started talking again after a year of no contact. I confronted him and now he is begging for another chance and trying to take care of me. He keeps crying to me about how badly he wants me in his life and how much he needs me and how he made a mistake. I havent told anyone about him cheating on me in the past two years but i think i should share it with his mother now. I cant deal with the emotional pain all by myself anymore. I’m going into severe depression.

My question is should i give him another chance? This would be the fourth chance im giving him in two years. Or should I ask for a divorce? I protected this marriage for as long as I could. I dont know if it would be foolish for me to give him another chance. Im breaking down everyday! I dont know what would hurt me more, to stay with him or to leave him. I really didnt want my marriage to end. I dont know if i can live without him. But sometimes i think that if I am still hurting after two years together then i feel like its now my fault for that continuous pain because im the one that keeps giving him chances to hurt me. Please me give your sincere advice.

Q: I did niakah with my couisn in 2015 but we never met alone and we never spoke. My father and mother fought because of my father in law. I told them to stop and at that time I loss my mind and I said abusive words to my parents that "you people are dogs, I am giving her divorce divorce divorce, now keep quite. I already gave her 3 divoce so no more fighting otherwise I will do sucide". Then my parents were normal. I said those words unintentionally and I didn't know about the rules of divorce.

Q: If a person performs tawaf in the lowest floor around the ka'bah (ie. the sahn floor), it is likely that he will (unintentionally) come in physical contact with women due to the crowd, especially close to the al-hajar al-aswad corner. Will he still be permitted to perform tawaf on this floor (whilst doing his best to avoid contact), or is it wajib for him to perform the tawaf on any of the higher floors where the risk of contact is less?

Q: Is it permissible to study criminal law and become an advocate or prosecutor?
