Repaying for an in incorrectly refunded item

Q: I bought 3 Ryse supplements from TikTok shop 2 years ago but I claimed that they never showed up even though they did and I received a refund. What can I do for forgiveness and to use this product? Is it even possible to use the product? 

I contacted TikTok customer service and they said they usually cover the cost so TikTok is the ones that lost money. I told the customer service individual that I received the order but still asked for a refund and they said that I can’t pay for it now. If I can't use them do I give them away as they are protein supplements.

Gifting a portion of one's share in properties to one's daughters

Q: Please assist with query below: 

Ismail and Ishaaq are partners in purchasing properties. They have 10 properties that are owned jointly by their company. Both of them own a 50% share. Ishaaq wants to give his two daughters a 25% share each of his 50% share (which is effectively 12.5 % of the entire company to each daughter). 

1. Will Ishaaq need Ismail's permission to do this? 

2. Will an ordinary offer and acceptance of this gifting be valid? Considering it is spread over few properties and jointly owned, how can he otherwise pass on ownership? 

3. If he sells the share to them at a minimal price instead of gifting it, will it be valid e.g. the share is worth R1 million, and he sells it to them for R1000, will this be valid?

Body corporate allocating insurance for the home in monthly levies

Q: I have recently moved into a house which forms part of complex and is run by a body corporate. The house belongs to my wife in a Family Trust, however I pay the expenses to run the house. I have just recently found out that the monthly levies I pay includes a portion which is allocated to insurance for the home. I was unaware of this and thought that the home was uninsured. 

Please advise on what I should do ?

Moving into a house with some stuff of the old owner

Q: I have moved into a new home. The previous owner was not Muslim. He had left some baking trays that fit into the oven that he left here which I presume he was not using. I am not sure if he would have cooked any haraam food with the trays. I wanted to throw his trays away but now some of my baking trays were placed in the same draw and they got mixed up so I don't know which are mine and which are his. Is it fine if I end up using the dishes that he used to cook with as long as its washed with sunlight and water?
