Various masaail of Business and Dealings

Q: I have made my bio-data, salary voucher, experience letter, etc., in my previous office without taking permission from my boss. I have used the office printer, computer, internet, paper and other things for printing these documents. While doing this, I was aware that it might be haraam.

Can I use these documents for any interviews, jobs or even any other work in future? If I do so, will my job and the income from this job be halaal or haraam? What should I do? 

Q: We have a business and one of our products is bottled water. We were using a supplier to bottle water for us, who was renting a plot from someone else. The owner of the plot passed away. So now our supplier has chosen to move his operation into his other business which is a bottle store... we not sure if we should continue or find someone else? He has moved it to a cold room in the liquor store with only water in the room and no liquor... He still invoices us from his other company as was previously done.

Q: I am jobless. My father wants to get me a job in a govt. institution by giving a bribe to someone and getting me in without any eligibily test. Is it halal for me to accept it? I am strongly against it as I think it will be haraam.

Q: I am reading about the Quran and old Islamic economic system. Is it true that if any country or bank prints paper currency more than gold or silver reserves, it will be ribah or sin? Some Islamic teachers say that paper currency is a fraud because paper currency is more than Gold reserves, and in Islam money is which has intrinsic value like wheat, barley, dates, salt or gold and silver? 

Q: I work in a construction company and I’m responsible for selling the scrap from the workshop. However, when I sell the scrap for e.g. $2000, I keep $100 for myself and make an invoice for $1900 and submit it to the accounts department. Is this considered haraam?

Q: My husband owns a house and money. He wants to make it half mine and half his. How do we do it according to shariah. Must it be written in the will or must we write a seperate letter stating what we want. Should I also do the same?

Q: I have recently bought a house through Islamic Financing. The bathroom tiles fell down about a week after we moved into the house. The seller agreed to fix few thing before closing the deal but after closing the deal, the seller refuses to fix anything. I spoke to an attorney and the attorney tried to do a settlement with the seller but he ignored us. My attorney gave me an option to file a lawsuit against the seller. My question is, if I file a lawsuit and get a compensation more than the actual cost of the damages, will that be halaal for me to keep?

Q: Can you take part in a flea market thats happening outside a church and the money that you pay for the tables also gets used toward the church? But you keep your money of whatever you sell?

Q: My parents may have not been aware of LIC policy where we send money monthly and after many years we get back money with some extra amount. Now that extra amount is obviously interest (riba). As my parents have started that, they say that at last they will put the extra money in charity. Till then, we would be sending money.

Now because of us, the company would have to give extra money. Are we then responsible for his sin? Or we will be getting the same sin for him? In Quran ayah its mentioned that whoever eats riba after knowing its haram he will remain in hell forever.

1. Is this sin for us also because of him (company owner) giving us extra money? And due to us taking part in it, the owner would be little encouraged to continue his business. (As its obvious tht if a new customer comes in shop, the owner will be happy and would like to do more buisness) Then if the owner does more buisness and more people join the LIC policy. Now bcz of us many people joined and they may eat riba. Are we gonna get same sin of them (hell forever)?

Q: I requested R300 fuel at a filling station, but the attendant filled R370 in error. Am I obligated to pay the extra R70? The manager informed me that the attendant is liable. Is this correct? What about the extra fuel in my tank?
