Q: My husband is doing 2 jobs at a time. While it's the rule of the first company to not join another one. Is the pay from the other job halal?

Q: Is there any rules and regulations about not working according to an organization's standards?

For example, I work in an organization and my job is to give bonus amount to others based on their work. There is a chart by the organization about how much bonus should be provided according to the work. But if I don't follow it and give a bonus not according to them, will it be ok or not?

Q: I have been working as social media marketeer in spotify, youtube, where I take artist song/content link and make a deal to promote it without dealing on lyrics. When the result is done I get paid. Is it haram? Is my income haram?

Q: I work as a mechanical product designer. Recently a new project came to me, actually it will be an alcohol dispenser. This product is specifically designed for alcohol. I want to ask if it is permissible to design this product as a Muslim?

Q: I did work for a Hindu. Payment was due months ago. He owes me R425. It is a tiny amount, but I spent a lot of time on the work, and the amount will cover certain business expenses.

He promised thrice to pay. I stated clearly the terms when I quoted him before he paid the deposit, which he agreed to. But now he says, months later, those terms are unfair, so he will not pay. I should email, and message him several times for months, but no response.

He finally answered the phone. I was so angry at his excuses and lies, that my hands started shaking and I started arguing loudly and interrupting him. I never get vulgar or insult, but I was rude and hostile. I never became like this ever before on a worldly issue in my entire life. Eventually he said he will pay month end. I said "Thank you, goodbye".

If he was a Muslim, I would have overlooked this for the sake of peace and community, hoping reward from Allah Ta'ala. But this treatment from a Hindu, I don't appreciate. Please advise:

(1) Was I sinful in talking rudely, angrily, and hostile with him? If yes, must I apologize to him for being rude? He has continued to lie and ignore me for months, and I finally got to speak to him on this occasion.

(2) What do you advise regarding the R425 he owes me? Should I pursue it or just drop the matter in view of peace? The next option I can consider is issuing him a legal letter of demand, following with Small Claims Court. But I do not want to go to court. However, I can threaten him with it. Insha Allah I will follow your advice.

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 plan on becoming an event planner. If I am asked to do the setup for a birthday party,would that be allowed from an Islamic perspective.

Q: I wanted to ask if it is permissible for one to lease out a shop to a non-Muslim who wants to sell fireworks for November, December and January. He then wants to continue selling furniture.
