Q: I bought a brand new xiaomi smartphone in 2016. But the next year after I checked on government regulations website, my phone was "indeed" proven illegal. Illegal here means imported without any permissions from the government (not stolen, I already know the rules about stolen items). So no doubt about this. This leaves me questions:

1. What is the ruling for anything that we bought, we didn't know it is illegal at the beginning, but then it is proven illegal afterwards? (again, illegal here = "avoid taxes" not stolen items)

2. Am I allowed to continue using this or should I get rid of it?

Condition 1: He will give me full access to run the business for 3 years and all expenses and profits will accrue to me. He will have no share or involvement in the business for 3 years.

Condition 2: I have to give him a monthly rent (as per the current market in that location) for running the business on his property.

Condition 3: After 3 years, he will return the R1 million which I had given to him at the beginning. He says that this money will be considered as a security deposit and any damage or loss occurred during these 3 years will be deducted from it. Is this deal halaal or haraam?
