Q:
1. Non-Muslim boss asks Muslim employee in an accounting firm to bring him a sandwich that contains haram meat. Would this be permissible for the Muslim
employee to carry out as a favour? Or will this be counted as aiding in sin?
2. Non-Muslim boss asks Muslim employee to bring him a video camera. It is known that he will be using to make videos of people, moreover he would use
that to video chat with non-mahram women. Would this be permissible for the Muslim employee to carry out?
There is confusion because these acts are forbidden for Muslims, however the non-Muslim boss does not follow laws of Shariah. Also the employee will not be receiving any extra compensation for carrying out these acts, just the normal salary he is paid monthly. Please also give the general ruling for aiding non-Muslims in doing something that is not permissible for a Muslim.

Q: As I am no longer a teenager it is obviously impossible for me to turn back into a teenager even if I make dua for such a thing to happen. From the hadeeth which speaks about the last person to enter jannah, we know that not all Muslims will get to Jannah immediately and some will have to burn in jahannam first. So it is impossible for all Muslims to be saved from jahannam. Therefore what is the point of the ulama asking us to make dua to Allah to save all Muslims from jahannam when it is an impossibility that all Muslims will be safe from jahannam?
Q: Why Ulama' don't resolve issues with sectarian identification. I am worried about being labeled and fear losing friends and family members.
