Becoming a software engineer

Q: I am interested in becoming an apple software engineer but is it halaal or harm for work there? Is working for a company which sells computers, laptops, phones is halaal or haraam? If I sell a computer to a buyer if that buyer uses it in any bad ways will I get sins?

Imposing an impermissible fee

Q: Our pathology lab offered our services to a certain hospital. The hospital told our lab that many other labs also offered their services to them. They said that if we want, they will choose our lab and give us all their contracts, on condition that since they are giving us the business, our lab should pay them a stipulated fee as a token of appreciation. Is it permissible for our lab to pay the hospital this stipulated fee?

Agreeing to the rules of a contract

Q: I signed a contract for work. I didn't want to, but I didn't want to have any problems because I want to work this halaal job. At the bottom, it states, "I acknowledge receipt of this summary and the attached contract of employment. I accept the terms of my contract of employment. I have also received and read a copy of the Employee Handbook and I accept the rules, policies and procedures set in it." I signed it and the Employee Handbook is exhaustive to read (I did read it) and I am having problems with my conscience because I take my word seriously and I want to know that if I failed in some of the rules is this taken as me "lying" or what does it mean? Or does it just mean that I am liable for my failures?
