Trade

Q: I own a shop that sells ornaments, glassware, crockery, etc.

Often, customers pick up items to examine them and then drop them accidentally, causing them to break.

Similarly, customers sometimes place items in their trolley to purchase, but then drop another item on top of the first item, causing it to become damaged. The customer then says that they don't want the item because it's damaged.

In the above two situations, can I hold the customer liable for the item and charge him for it?

Q: I enhanced a software related to point of sale. The owner sells it in UAE and I live in Pakistan. Can I sell the software in Pakistan without the owner's permission?

Q: I used to make money by promoting un-Islamic cartoons. I used that money to buy a laptop. From that laptop I learned and make applications/ programs. Now I get a lot of money from the apps I made. My income now is halaal insha-Allah, but the problem is, my laptop was bought with haraam money.

What is the status of my income now? What about the knowledge I got when using the laptop? Is the money I generated, and the apps I made, all haraam? How do I repent and cleanse my profit/income?

Q: I would like to start a business. Since I'm very passionate about Islam, I want to start a business with an Islamic theme to an Islamic target (I am thinking of selling Islamic books or Islamic wall arts).

My question is, is it haraam to earn money from this type of business?

P.s. It is not that I want to profit from the fact that I am Muslim, rather I feel a big passion for Islam and if there is something that I would like to spend most of my time with, then it is Islam.

Q: Is it permissible to sell non prescription coloured contact lenses

Q: I have a question relating to network marketing.

I am a neolife distributor and I sell the products as well as recruit people under me, thus growing my team. I therefore earn based on their sales as well as my own.

My question is whether this is allowed by the shariah. Is the income earned from what they sell and thus contributing to my points and therfore my position within the company e.g. Senior manager, Halaal income?

Q: Is charging more than the price on an item if it is bought on installments permissible or not?

Q: I am in need of money. If I buy something like a mobile phone on installments and then I sell it because I need the money, and pay the installments every month, is it permissible or does it come under interest?
