Q: Is working as a chartered accountant permissible? 

Q: Can we do a job in which we get employed through recruiting offices/agencies who take some commission (usually some percent from their first salary) from the candidates they employ and the company whom they recruit these candidates. Sometimes they take commission from the company only and keep totally free from the candidates, they do not take commission from the candidates.

In both the above scenarios, will the job for the candidates be haraam? Will the income, etc or anything be haraam? Will it be a sin? And what if they take fees and not commission from the candidates and may take commission from the company then what will be the answer? It's not impossible but it is quite difficult to find jobs without the help of recruiting agencies/companies. 

Q: I am a taxi driver. My boss put a telephone service in all the taxis. Hotels call us to take their costumers to the airport or in the city. For this service we need to pay a commission to the hotel, is it right?

Q: I have a job offer as a Software Engineer from a company who call themselves as Robot Advisory Company or Wealth Management company. The company is a software firm, they have developed software solution that manages wealth. It is Business to Business model (B2B). One part of their software is "Intelligent Advisor" whose customers are mainly banks, insurance companies, e-commerce, telecommunication companies and other financial institutions. "Intelligent Advisor is a proprietary algorithm-ranking tool for relationship managers to improve customer experience and that empowers relationship managers with the ability to advise their clients more efficiently".

My Question is, is it permissible to work for that company as they are giving service to banks. 

Q: I am working as a Finance Manager in a company. I perform various duties of my job like Financial Planning Analysis.., and one such duty is to advise the company on raising of money for the business and I advised to raise from equity and debt (loans)

On my advice the company takes small amounts of loans and pays interest (riba). It gets many benefits like tax deduction on interest paid and other benefits... But the company has to pay interest (Riba).

Since India is Darul Harb, I have no choice of interest free loans. Moreover I am just advising and it is my job. I am not paying or using or consuming riba in my daily life as it is haram.

1. Please tell me If I am doing any sin or will I be punished for just advising the company? Because I have heard Hadees that all those persons are sinful if they are involved in riba related transactions and riba is haram.

2. Is my job and salary halal?

3. If I am earning 1000 Rupees for 10 hours daily and I performed this riba Advise work for 1 Hour and Earned 100 Rupees, is it compulsory to donate that 1 hour salary of 100 Rupees as charity ?

4. Can I perform all my other duties

Q: My son is a free Lance writer.He has an account on "up work". Clients contact him and give him a plot of novel or short story.He writes the novel or story for them.Then they publish it with their own name. These novels are usually based on fantasy and horror. I am not happy with this,but my son has bipolar disorder.He feels good and normal while writing. I want to ask you if I can use the money earned by him (by writing novels). Can I pay my electricity bill with this money. Sometimes he brings eatables for his younger brother or sisters, should I allow them to eat it.

Q: A person pays a driver a monthly salary for a fixed pick-and-drop route. One day, he requests the driver to take a detour and make an additional stop (without discussing extra payment). The driver agrees and does so, and does not ask for extra money. Does the employer owe the driver money for the extra work?

Q: If a person is working in a non mixed environment, all his needs are being met. Is it permissible for him to take a job in a office where there is both genders working freely and he will have to communicate with the opposite gender, in the name of progress?

Also a person is working in a Islamic school and is married. It is a fully segregated environment. He earns less but through other jobs like picking up and dropping of kids he covers everything else. This person studied in college and studied other certifications and worked in an office environment with non-Muslims for over 5 years. He left it due to getting the opportunity to work in a halal environment. Now his father keeps telling him you are stupid for leaving and you should stick to your career. A Muslim must be strong and not weak, he should go into there environment succeed and give dawah. But this person refuses and stays content with the Islamic school job. Is this person doing something wrong by not listening to his father? The reason why I am asking is because in this time it is so confusing even when you try to save yourself from sins, parents and relatives say that we are narrow minded even though that said parent may have went 4 months jamat 5 times and reads Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvis books.

Also, this parent listens to other scholars that say that if a person is living in the west and doesn't get to study there, schooling is at a loss. Im so confused. Is it permissible for a person to commit sin and earn a little bit more halal earning, like lying on a resume working with non-Muslims. Is this person that works at the Islamic school stupid for not wanting to go back to his career and is he selling himself short. The person still has ambition and inshaAllah if Allah gives him the chance he will try and work on some business. But he doesn't want to go back to the haram career.

Q: If I have no other work, can I work in non-Muslim hotel. They offer alcohol and haram meat.

Q: I would like to know about Network Marketing. I heard about a company from one of my best friends which sells products like kitchen items, laptops, smart phones, TV's, Refrigerators, washing machines, sofa sets, CCTV camera solutions and many more use full products. The products are sold at market price and in good quality with a warranty. The company is a government registered company and they pay income tax too.

1. If I purchased a product from them, I can be a dealer (sales rep) if I wish. Is it permissible in Islam?

2. When I recommend this product and start to selling it, I'll receive a direct sale commission. Is it permissible in Islam.?

3. When I achieved my target as a sales rep, I'll be promoted as a leader (supervisor). Then we need to help my reps to achieve their targets. If they achieve their targets, I'll get a group sale commission. If not, I won't get a commission. Is it permissible in Islam? Usually this is how a marketing commission scheme works. Sales executive, Senior sales executive and more promotions are also there.
