Aiding in Sin

Stopping someone from committing zina

Q: Would I be wrong if I anonymously tip off my ex-employer to investigate a suspected relationship between a CEO and collegue at my old place of work? The reason I ask is to try and end a relationship that I suspect my sister in-law is having with a CEO at my previous workplace. He is a married man...his wife is still in SA, while he is working in Namibia. We are Muslim, what does Islam advise regarding suspicion of zina?

Passing a video camera or a sandwich to a non-Muslim

Q:

1. Non-Muslim boss asks Muslim employee in an accounting firm to bring him a sandwich that contains haram meat. Would this be permissible for the Muslim
employee to carry out as a favour? Or will this be counted as aiding in sin?

2. Non-Muslim boss asks Muslim employee to bring him a video camera. It is known that he will be using to make videos of people, moreover he would use
that to video chat with non-mahram women. Would this be permissible for the Muslim employee to carry out?

There is confusion because these acts are forbidden for Muslims, however the non-Muslim boss does not follow laws of Shariah. Also the employee will not be receiving any extra compensation for carrying out these acts, just the normal salary he is paid monthly. Please also give the general ruling for aiding non-Muslims in doing something that is not permissible for a Muslim.

Supporting gay marriages

Q: A Muslim answered the questions put to him by a non-Muslim as follows:

1. Do you stand for gay people's rights?

"Of course."

2. Do you stand for gay marriage?

"If the 2 individuals who are of the same sex want to be married and they go for a civil partnership or marriage or whatever it is, if it is provided
within the constitution and within the legal systems of our country, then they are entitled to."

Would this render the person answering a murtad?

Assisting a non-muslim to clear up haraam items

Q: I have been practicing Islam for maybe nearly two years and I keep getting into situations that a difficult and hard for me, because I do not know what is the best thing to do at certain times.

  1. One thing I am not sure about is if it is cooperating in sin and transgression / disrespectful to Allah / sinful if a Muslim helped a non-Muslim family member tidy up (the non-Muslims) empty beer bottles and also helped the non-Muslim family member by tidying up haram food packaging?
  2. What is best for the Muslim to do if the Muslim wants to help the non-Muslim clean plates/tables that had haram food left over’s on them?

The non-Muslim family member has physical health problems and sometimes struggles with cleaning and the Muslim wants to also help the non-Muslim family member realize Islam is the truth.

Will the following be considered as aiding in sin?

Q: Is it haraam for me to make and sell furniture to people if I know it is more than likely that they will (at some point) be more than likely to use the furniture when doing haram things i.e. they would be more than likely to at some point store haram cloths in a closet or have unmarried adult relations on a bed I made, or use a table I made to eat pork or put alcoholic drinks on, or watch haram TV programs on the sofa I made and sold to them? Is making and selling these things cooperating in sin and transgression?

Is wasting time a sin and if so, is selling footballs or remote control cars to people cooperating, influencing sin, if I know they (adults) are going to
excessively waste time playing with them?

Assisting in evil

Q: Please tell if it is permissible to buy things like razor for your father or another elder, who uses it for shaving their beard? Also, like they ask you to go and buy remote control for TV or like batteries for the remote control etc. Should we act upon their (such) commands?
