Q: I am currently working in a company as a senior executive. I was given a task by my management to find a guy who would fix a tube well (water well).

Q: I have been doing a self-employed delivery job with amazon known as Flex; Amazon flex has 3 types of delivery:
1. Logistics – normal cardboard boxes but I will never know the contents (but no food and drink items from my knowledge)
2. Prime now - which allows for many items which included electronics etc, foods, all types of drinks including alcohol in paper bags. So I am able to tell sometimes what is in the bag.
3. Morrisons shopping - anything Morrisons sells (morrisons is a massive supermarket like Asda or Target).
The way it works for Amazon flex, you will never know what route and items you are delivering until around 10 minutes into the booked shift. There is no management for point of contact to say that you do not wish to deliver alcohol, ‘you get what you’re given’. For the second and third types of delivery, there is always a chance of delivering alcohol but you will never know until its given to you.
So my question is my earnings halal? or just to leave completely due to always having doubt?
Also this is not my main income anymore, I have a 9 to 5 and I do this after my main job as I am trying to get married and I have just left university.
Q: I am interested in being an Occupational Therapist, and I am a Muslim male. Occupational Therapy is a female-dominated profession, with about 90 percent being females. The nature of the profession involves helping people of all ages who have disabilities regain independence so they can do things they used to do, such as work and play. In Occupational Therapy school, I will be required to touch both males and females on the arms, legs, back, and shoulders for practice. Then when I begin working I will be required to treat both male and female patients. Treating them would require contact with the opposite gender, usually on the hand, back, shoulder, and arm on a regular basis. Would this job be considered halal since I am not doing any touching involving lust, but rather for work and to make the patient better? Or would it be haram in all cases and should I find another profession? By the way, my parents really want me to do it - they are also Muslims but not very religious.
Q: I am an accountant and maintain double vouchers/books of accounts from the actual books for the purpose of reducing the taxes on sale income and also to increase the expenditure from the actual expenses to show that the company has less profit.
