Q: My question is, "The tenants of mosque shops are not ready to pay rent at the current prevailing market rates. Their argument is that they have been leasing these properties for generations. I am seeking a fatwa as a solution to this matter. The shops were initially under an agreement process. Please advise."
Q: I have a tenant who is renting from me and he has game machines in his shop which people put money into it to play. Now my tenant wants to put a slot machine where a player puts money inside and the player then wins money from the machine.
Is it permissible for me to allow the tenant to put such a machine in the shop?

Q: I want to become a data analyst, I am choosing a field, I have cherry picked the top most valuable & highest paying field they are:
1. Finance & Banking
2. IT Companies:
3. Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences
Now I wanna choose a highest rewarding field too.
My question: "Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas (radhiyallahu anhuma): The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) cursed the one who consumes riba (usury or interest), the one who gives it, the one who records it, and the two witnesses to the transaction, and he said, 'They are all alike (in sin).'" (Sahih al-Bukhari)
Now if I become a financial data analyst, most probably I may have to record about any such possible riba transactions taken or given by company/banks etc.. Wont I be the sinner
2. Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. does it applicable to my role as Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences data analyst. it may also explore my way to have a Islamic finance field innovation.
3. Data analyst in IT companies play a significant role in developing technology and improving business operations, also it lead to me to gain more salary making me to give charity & other acts.
I would like to have your opinion on the best job role which you think will be with your islamic knowledge.
Q: I work in food transport and very often I transport non-halaal meat. I wanted to know if my work is halaal or haraam.
Q: I work for a religious organization Alhamdulillah they do very good work ماشاء الله
1. My original hours of work were 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. However to also avail myself for certain over and above takazas and mashwarah outside of my working times (failure to attend these outside of working time gatherings or takazas result in getting reprimanded).
Is this permissible in the shariah?
2) After 6 months I was asked to work one weekend a month (Saturday and Sunday) with no additional pay for the two days.
Is this permissible in the shariah?
3. After another 8 months they called me into a meeting in which to take responsibility in another department which the person who was hired specifically for that purpose declined due to the nature of that work. I agreed to do so on certain conditions which were supposed to be met at the end of July. However at the end of July those conditions were not met and they said I should start in that position immediately as there was no one else to fulfill it and if I refuse then my original post would become refunded and they would have to cut down on staff.
The new position involves me relocating and changing my whole schedule to accommodate this new position. It involves longer hours and an additional weekend (now two weekends in the month).
Is it permissible in shariah for them to coerce me into this position and extract extra hours and weekends from me without discussing renumeration etc.?
Also, due to the criterion not being met at the end of July I'm forced to fulfill this position from 4 different locations and as I explained to them that this will be difficult they expect me still without discussing the renumeratiin and other logistics and how me accountable for any defaults. Is the above permissible in the shariah?
In addition to working for this organization you are not allowed to be actively involved in any other business or sundry activities in your own personal time. Is this permissible in the shariah?
Q: Novotel is a hotel where people stay, and they serve breakfast and dinner. In the morning, they have a buffet with various food items like bread, beans, eggs, and sausages, including pork bacon. The chef mentioned that the chicken and beef sausages are halaal.
If I work there, my tasks will include cleaning tables, carrying plates, and refilling the food, including bacon. In the evening, they also have a bar.
As a Muslim lady, can I work in this hotel for the breakfast buffet?
