Q: I am currently unemployed in Australia as I recently migrated and now I have got a job offer in media advertising agency as a Data Statistic Analyst which involves working on Microsoft office and other data tools.
My query is, as the company deals with video advertising and media work so will my rizq be halal? Islamically am I authorised to work in such organisation?
Q: I work as a freelance web designer and programmer. Recently, a client asked me to create a website with an online store system to sell PSD files. PSD file stands for PhotoShop document. They can be simple graphic designs or images that people use (for example, book printing companies always purchase book cover PSDs).
I programmed and designed the online store. Once I reached the final steps of my work, I found out that this client will use the website I built to sell some weird images. These images are not pornographic, but they are very weird 3D models of people (mainly half-naked girls), for some game companies. Apparently, the game companies buy this person’s designs to use in their games. These images are not classed as pornographic, but they have so much weird sexual underflow.
I get paid a one-time payment for creating the “online selling platform”. I do not “host” this website for the client. My job was just to make a selling system for digital files and it stops there. Similarly, I will not be uploading the pictures to the site. Will the money that I earn through creating this site be halaal? Keep in mind that I did not know what the purpose of this site was.
Q: I want to ask about academic writing, is this halal income? I do assignments and projects for students abroad, those students are unknown, I am registered on a portal through which I get orders, and I provide references at the end from which i used content to complete assignments.
Q: Main thing is I need to do what is required in my job and earn money. What if I cheat during my studying career and gain a certificate. Is it haram?
What if I cheat and gain marks and get qualifications and at last get a job. I am able to do what the job requires but I got the job through a haram way (cheating in exams).
Q: I currently live in a hostel. I talked to another hostel owner to book a room. He kept a room for me for over 4 days and he denied other people who wanted that room. Now in the morning, the current hostel warden showed me another room with fewer charges and I decided to stay in the current hostel and not to shift. Now, if I stay, did I go against my word (wada khilafi)? I am feeling extremely guilty and I am starting to worry about my beliefs because of the backing out. Can I just say sorry and give some fine?

Q: I work in a canteen where I sell whatever the owner brings. To increase my income, can I bring a few things, like biscuits, that I buy from my money, and sell it without letting the owner know?
Q: I am a government employee. I got my car by signing a lease with the bank on a monthly installment for 7 years. The actuall price was 15 lacks but the bank gave it to me for 23 lacks which is too much. Now I am not comfortable with it. Is it interest as all the banks in pakistan are based on interest.
