Services Plans and Contracts

Accepting fuel allowance for a month from a company even if one does not require it

Q: If a person is under employment (working for someone) and fuel allowance is also included in the contract (given in cash), however, if a month/week comes wherein the employee has enough fuel in the vehicle and therefore, for that particular month/week, he feels that he doesn’t need the fuel, should he still accept the cash or not, because it is in the contract? 

Using one's work computer for personal work if one has free time

Q: I am a government employee. I work on the computer. Often, there is little work and most of the time we are free. My questions are: 

1. Can I use the Govt. computer and internet for further learning advanced technologies?

2. Can I use it for listening to Islamic lectures?

3. Can I use it for work with some other companies as most the time I have no work to do?

Furthermore, the internet service is free and does not incur extra charges. 

Roadside assitance

Q: Is roadside assistance permissible? Roadside assistance is a type of a plan where a person pays a company to get a service relating to their car in the case of an emergency. For example, if at any time of the year, I happen to get stuck on the road then the road side assistance truck will come and help out by changing my tire, or towing my car, filling my fuel, etc. based on what the car requires. This kind of assistance will be given 24/7 whenever I call them. Is this kind of service permissible?

Nowadays, if a person buys a brand-new car then he gets roadside assistance as a part of his car warranty. Will it be permissible for him to use the roadside assistance if he requires it?
