Q: Is roadside assistance permissible? Roadside assistance is a type of a plan where a person pays a company to get a service relating to their car in the case of an emergency. For example, if at any time of the year, I happen to get stuck on the road then the road side assistance truck will come and help out by changing my tire, or towing my car, filling my fuel, etc. based on what the car requires. This kind of assistance will be given 24/7 whenever I call them. Is this kind of service permissible?

Nowadays, if a person buys a brand-new car then he gets roadside assistance as a part of his car warranty. Will it be permissible for him to use the roadside assistance if he requires it?

Q: We have been running a shop for the past 8 years. We have been paying a monthly rental subject to a 10% yearly increase. However, during the last year, after the increase, we have been paying say R10 000. Due to rising costs, etc. we decided to physically split the shop in half and give it to our neighbour for R9000. We had the permission of the landlord to do this. This effectively meant that we were now paying R1000 for our portion which is quite a bargain. However, now the landlord says that what we have done is not Shari’ah compliant. We would like to know whether it is permissible or not.
