Q: For animals used in fighting such as roosters and dogs, their price depends on their fighting ability. If a rooster/dog is an excellent fighter, it would be expensive. So is it halaal to include the price of an animal's fighting ability in the overall price of the animal? Would the amount added to the price based on the fighting ability be halaal?

Q: There's a trend among large retailers of using a marketing strategy called odd pricing, eg. $4.99, instead of $5. This is based on the psychological trickery of making a price more appealing. Muslim informal traders have now adopted this same strategy.

Firstly: Is this allowed, considering the origin and deceitful nature.

Secondly: These Muslim traders accept the full amount of $5. Unlike the large retailers, who give your change, the Muslim traders offer no change to the customer. This price is sometimes $199, and when accepting $200, no change is offered. Is this permissible? Surely, this is a form of stealing. At the very least, trickery.

When called out, they offer 'Urf as an excuse, saying this is the general usage in a community. However, the retailers who use this strategy gives the customer his due change. So it does not equate to the same.

Q: I was at this fastfood shop last week and I bought a 3 chicken wings meal. I came home and saw that I was given 4. Normally I don’t worry about this since usually I assume this occurs if one of the wing pieces is small so they give another to compensate, however, because I’m dealing with religious OCD and doubts, I’m worried. I called them today and they confirmed that sometimes they do this for the reason I mentioned above. Can I assume that this is what occurred in my case instead of thinking that they made a mistake?

Q: Can I sell leather products like jackets, belts, shoes, bags and handbags for Muslim men and non Muslim men?

Q: I paid less than I should have when I went to the supermarket a few months ago due to an error in their checkout system. I messaged their customer service online on the day and they said “Thank you for your honesty. There's nothing much we can do about it at here at Customer Services but if you do wish to get rid of the difference you can return to the store and speak with the Customer Service desk.”

Am I sinful if I don’t go back and return the difference? I’m not 100% sure if I still have the receipt.

Q: I want to know about forex trading in gold usoil or currencies? What are Islamic teachings and what should be avoided? If the broker is paid directly and dollars are given back directly within that time, is it permissible?
