Q: I am a single mother (not divorced) living with my parents. I do not pay rent or utility bills, but I manage all other expenses for myself and my baby, including food, clothes, diapers, milk, etc.
The baby’s father sends a small amount (around 20,000 PKR) monthly — sometimes not even that.
I work from home and earn about 1.5 lakh PKR per month by helping university students write their assignments, reports, and research papers. I use tools like ChatGPT to generate answers and then rephrase the content using other software. I work very hard and honestly, but now I’m very worried: Is this income halal or haram in Islam?
I want to raise my son as a Hafiz-e-Quran and a good Muslim. I don’t want to feed him with haram money, but this is the only source of income I have right now. I am very stressed and confused. Please guide me according to Islamic teachings.

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.
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?

Q: Standard bank charged me an honoring fee of R100 which I don't think is fair. Why would they let a transaction go through if my bank account didn't have any funds?
I tried contacting them but they declined to reverse the transaction. I have a normal debit account. Anyways I am now due to pay them this fee of R100. Can I pay them with haraam interest money?
