Selling health and beauty products
Q: I am currently working in a store which sells health and beauty products, including makeup, perfumes, creams, medicines, etc. Some of these products contain unlawful ingredients like alcohol and glycerin (which may be derived from animals or vegetables), and some may also have been tested on animals. My question is, is it permissible for me to work there selling these items?
Imaamat contract
Q: I have the following questions regarding the employment of an imaam:
1. Can the imaam claim full pay if he leads only four salaahs while his contract stipulates all five?
2. Is he entitled to a full salary during his annual four week umrah journey and five week family holiday?
3. Is he entitled to severance pay when his duties are not required e.g. if the prayer place (jamaat khana) is shut down by the government?
4. Some people think that the imaam is like a khalifah, once you employ him, the community has to support him for life, even when he is not assigned any duties.
Working for a bank
Q: In a banking institution the only income they do earn is through Riba. There is no other income generation process involved in a Bank's system. And it means, a bank is paying salaries and profits to all of its employees and partners through the generated income which is nothing but Riba. In that scenario, how can it be legal for an employee to receive such an income which he knows that is paid to him through Riba, and at the same time he knows that he is a part of the machinery where business is nothing but to generate Riba income. In my opinion it becomes totally invalid for a muslim to be associated with a banking institution. Am I right?
Doing personal work out of office time
Q: My question is that "freelance work is allowed in Islam or not?" Let me tell you the details. I have signed the contract with my company and in my contract it is mentioned that I cant work for any other company until unless I have written permission from the CEO of the company. Now I got one freelance project which probably I will do after my office timing at my home so my office work will not be effected with this. But sometime I also do work in my free time in the office using office machines. As in the start of Surah Maidah is " 'O believers! Fulfil your promises" so on that I guess I can't but I have still confusion. In the end, if I am doing this, I will earn with my work and one of my friends told me this kind of contract is similar to slavery and slavery is not allowed in Islam, so you can violate that contract. Kindly help me out in this as soon as possible.
