Government

Q: I would like to know if a Muslim would be sinful if they are not wearing their seat belt/a safety belt in a car/vehicle? 

Q: My question is related to the usage of certain things... As in the recent days the Netherlands govt. was involved in initiating a blasphemy contest (na'aoozu-billah) that was later called off... Here in pakistan, Muslim ulama and Ahl e ilm called on ppl to boycott dutch products, so that we could defeat them on economic grounds..

Also being a Muslim nation, love for our Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is higher above all thingss... There are many items, some are wholly dutch products while others here I would particularly talk about them such as milk products, many milk companies that are top ranked are in partnership with dutch (friedscampania dairy company). That company invested in our country 's milk companies, however barcodes on items is that of Pakistan... So, what should we do? Can we consume them, particularly when one cannot easily buy fresh milk, as in the hostel? But still this thing irks that Netherlands is tha investor.

Q: I voted on 25th July,2018 for a party I thought would be a good choice for my beloved country. My father and other family members voted for another party. After my father came to know that I voted for another party and not voted for a pary he voted, he got angry. He thinks I disobeyed him and I defamed the name of our family. I broke down to tears today. I am very upset as I never disobeyed my father intentionally. I always try to obey him as much as I can.

My question is that does Islam allow children to vote for a party/person that they think would be a better choice for their country? or it is mandatory for children to vote for a person whomsoever their parents suggest or order them?

Q: Today in the jummah sermon, our mufti sahab said that if one does not vote in the upcoming election for any candidate then he will be sinful (gunah gaar for opting not to vote). I dont like to vote as I know that all the candidates in my constituency are not suitable to be elected. Will I be sinfull? 

Q: As you are aware about the corruption in the government presently..we have a building which houses the poor community,which has a common water meter..for some time now there's been a slow reading of the meter. We are passing this benefit on to the tenants,  if we have to inform the municipality..the benefit will stop to the tenants and the rent will increase by R300-00 per unit. The question is should I inform the municipality or let the tenants benefit considering all the corruption taking place.

Q: Is indulging in politics halaal in Islam especially in a democratic country?

Q: We own an internet cafe. We are living day to day alhamdulillah. My wife wants to get the government to sponsor us with laptops and similar tech to use in our business. We are not a Non-Profit Organisation. Is it permissble to accept this sponsorship from the government?

Q: Does our Shariah allow for the boycotting of a particular country or products from a particular country for political reasons even though the products may be halaal suitable? If we do boycott, will we be guilty of making a halaal product haraam for ourselves?

Q: Can we enter into politics or discuss about it in public? Is there any limitations based on Shariah law?

Q: Is it permissible to claim from the Road Accident Fund?
