Q: I am seeking guidance regarding a matter related halaal and haraam.
I live in the United Arab Emirates, and we are not very well off, we struggle at times to buy things apart from the necessities.
There are two fintech companies TABBY AND TAMARA.
Tabby was shariah compliant initially when they started, splitting each bill into 4 installments and so was tamara. Tamara is still 4 installments. But tabby has now introduced installments in 6 months, 8 months and also 12 months and when they started here, there was a fatwa on their website too, they don't say that it is interest, there's an extra amount that they charge which they call processing/service fee, I want to know is that interest? I have multiple payments spilt across because I did not know it and just realised it, also because initially there were fatwa on the tabby website. For tamara, there is also a fatwa and they have mentioned names of scholars who have given fatwas
All of the shariah resolutions are attached on their website too, so I want to know if what they calling the 'Processing fee' is not interest and allowed for me to use as it is really helpful, and if it is not, then I have multiple payments spread across both companies and I am not in a position to pay it all off as we struggle big time financially. As someone striving to act in accordance with the teachings of Islam, I want to ensure that my actions are pleasing to Allah Ta'ala.
Q: Many people are buying gold but keeping it at the company they buy it from and when the rate increases they pay a commission and then sell it. Is this halaal because even though you have your name written on the gold it isn't in your custody.

Q: Recently we see maktab jalsahs being held and you have to purchase a ticket to attend. Is this allowed?
Before we use to go to jalsahs without having to buy a ticket. Tickets are sold for R50.
If the maktab can't afford an elaborate jalsah, why have it elaborate or if its difficult then should they have a jalsah?
Q: There is car company and they are selling their cars in the following manner:
I pay a certain amount of the total and they give me the car but they don't transfer the car to my name. Then, after I pay the 9 installments, the car will come into my name. In the meanwhile, they ask me to take an insurance policy for 9 months to cover me from all risks in case something happens to the car. Is this type of deal correct?
Q: Please advise which of the following is permissible:
1. A person buys an asset and then sells it to a customer for a profit on terms. For example, he buys a truck for R2,000,000 and sells it for R4,000,000 fixed price over 5 years. Buyer is aware of this and is willing to pay the R4,000,000. Would this be permissible?
2. A person buys an asset and sells it to customer for the capital + profit earned on the asset during the agreed capital re-payment period. For example, he buys a truck for R2,000,000. Sells the truck for agreed R2,000,000 over 5 years + pays him the profit he makes while using that truck in his business over those 5 years. The profit varies based on the business he does each month and there is possibility of loss also. At the end of the 5 years the truck belongs to the buyer, and he stops sharing profit. The seller of the asset is made well aware of the risks. Would this be permissible?
Q: I traded with gold online without knowing that I have to take physical possession and because it's online you cannot take physical possession of it.
Is it permissible for me to take back my capital or should I give it as sadaqah without the intention of reward?
