Q:
1. Hermes is a fashion brand and its name was taken from a Greek figure. However, the bags do not have the Greek symbol for Hermes. Is it permissible to sell the bags anyway? What I mean with Greek figure is Greek 'god' (their words, not mine).
What about selling Louis Vuitton bags or Jordan Sneakers. Their name doesn't represent a 'god'. Just a person.
2. My second question is about day trading. First of all, is day trading stocks (non-haram businesses) permissible. And what about day trading crypto. So, trading ARK for BTC. Both are cryptocurrencies. Is this trade a form of riba because it seems like it is a 'gold for gold' trade (both cryptocurrencies, but they have different values and meanings).
3. You said that investing in halal companies is permissible, however the interest that they are involved in is totally forbidden. But does that make my earnings forbidden (and does it come in the category of 'witnessing riba')?
Q: Is growing tobacco halaal or haraam in Islam? Will the income received from selling tobacco plants be halaal or haraam?
Q: I have read somewhere that it is better to avoid wearing Nike, because it symbolizes a 'Greek mythical figure' (if you know what I mean). But what about selling the shoes. Because Nike and Jordan are amongst the best selling shoes.
Q: Is day trading in cryptocurrencies halal? Day trading basically means buying and selling your shares within a day. Note, I have knowledge concerning this subject and for me it is not like gambling. What I do (and almost everyone else does) is checking the chart and based on the chart's movements, I make a decision whether or not it could be a good trade. However, what made me doubt the legitimacy was gharar and maysir. I have done so much research about these terms and it still remains kind of unclear whether it is a form of gharar and/or maysir.
Q: What is the ruling with regards to selling items related to Easter such as Easter eggs and other similar items like hot cross buns, etc.?
Q: I am an intern doctor. We get many samples of medicine from different pharmaceuticals companies. They gives us the sample and describe about the ingredients, benificial ratio for patient and we also can learn of newer generations of medicine which is available now in our country. The packet of samples contain only few medicines e.g.: 2/3 tablets, 1 injection, etc. Because its only a physician sample and over the packet it's written that "physician's sample, not for sale".
Now my question is, 'Is it halal to sell this sample and use the money for myself'? Many interns sells this product at 40-50% less than the market price. If it is not halal then can I sell and give the money to an orphan child?
Q: A man proposes for a woman, and both are satisfied with the proposal. He has a business where he sells equipment as a living, primarily CCTV camera systems. He has also sold DJ equipment (exact details are not known) on 2 occasions. My questions are as follows:
1. Is the selling of CCTV camera systems permissible?
2. Is the selling of DJ equipment permissible?
3. Is his income halal, and would it be permissible for the woman to go ahead and accept his proposal?
Q: I have a question regarding 786 numbers.
1. What is the meaning of 786?
2. Is it permissable to buy and sell 786 cell numbers and licence plates?
3. Also is it permissable to sell a licence plate if someone offers a high price since it is nice numbers like 1001
Q: As a Muslim doctor working in the emergency department, I frequently come across women requesting the morning after pill. I refuse to prescribe the morning after pill on religious and moral grounds. In that case, another doctor prescribes it. The morning after pill prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus. It has the potential to become a human. Is it okay to prescribe it if it is based on need, weakness or illness?
