Q: If one works for a company in which one has meetings via video call, is this job still halaal and is the income earned still halaal? 

And if the company you are employed for at sometimes advertisers using photography on their company website or requires you to have an employee ID with your image on it, will the income be halaal?

Q: Is it permissible for me to work in a grocery store? I will need to stock up shelves with pig and haraam meat and also halaal products such as bread, fruit and clothes. I will need to stand at the till and scan the goods for the customers (cashier). It is approximately 90% halaal goods, but goods such as cigarettes, haraam meat and alcohol are also sold. Can I work in this place?

Q: I have to visit KSA to conduct a workshop with customers and vendors. Customers and vendors requested to do workshops on weekends so we can save time and go to Umrah within this time line and requested to pay the same amount that will be saved by reducing the time of workshops and hotel accommodations so that we can manage our expenses for Umrah. 

I requested the company for this favor, and the company approved it for the vendor and customer, but when asked for myself, they replied, "we will book a hotel for as per your request and grade limit." When I checked with the relevant person, he told me your limit is 300 AED for a single night. You can book by yourself by booking online and share the booking receipt, and we will pay you. I have calculated that amount and now want to go with another hotel that has a lower rate, some 150 AED, and the rest amount will be used for travel and food during Umrah. Maybe some money can be saved by this. 

Can you please guide me? Is this halal or haram?

Q: Alhamdulillah, I have a job offer, but I am not sure if it is Islamic. 

The working hours are 48 hours per week. I queried as to how many hours per day, I was told it is a 6 day a week job with the amount of hours per day, the timings and the number of shifts per day left up to the discretion of the employer. 

My question is, is this arrangement permissible in Islam? Is it permissible for me to take up this job offer?

Q: I work as a manager for a Muslim man who at times stretches the time of his employees if it gets busy or is attending to personal work. He does not compensate them for extra time, and when the topic is brought up, he angrily dismisses it and says, "You are just standing doing nothing, so it’s not work." But I feel as long as they are in the shop, they are working, as they are not free to do as they like. What should I do ?

Q: I have a furniture and appliance store where we sell and fix furniture and appliances.

Q: Is it permissible if I start a business doing ads for people? As far as I understand, the ad is digital and does not physically exist. If I stipulate the condition that you are paying for the service of making the ad will it be permissible? 

What is also the ruling regarding buying something, like an ad which is digital, as it doesn't physically exist and qabtha cannot be done?

Q: Is working in a goods and services tax (gst) department allowed in Islam?
