Business and Dealings

Going to work early

Q: I am working at an engineering company. My boss used to like me before because I was always at work early. We start work at 7:30am but I used to be at work before seven and I used to get extra money, but now I am going to work at the normal time 7:30 because I read Suratul Yaseen and azkar... My boss is not happy with me like how he was before. What should I do? Should I go early and miss my Suratul Yaseen or should read Suratul YAseen before I go to work?

Advertising for businesses and companies

Q: I want to put up some advertising boards in my town and get shops and companies to advetise on and charge them. Is this permissible?

Secondly, I wont get companies that are dealing in haraam to advertise with them, so it will probably be businesses like supermarkets and hardware stores etc. But my problem is that am I allowed to advertise for them if a part of their business might be haraam or doubtful. For example I personally dont eat commercial chickens even though it might have a halaal stamp on it. I prefer to stay away since I feel it is still doubtful, will I be able to still advertise for that supermarket that sells it. Or if there is a car dealer who sells cars but organises a loan for a customer based on interest then am I allowed to advertise for him.

Also is there any guidelines that you can give me and advise?

Editing one's pay slip to get a better salary

Q: I am working in a company in night shifts and I am planning to switch to another company due to salary concerns. To get a higher salary I have edited the payslip of my company's current salary because most of our collegues and I feel that the companies are exploiting us by paying us a less salary and they are getting higher profits. I feel like it is cheating because I am editing my current salary from 17000 and faking it to 21000. I have already been selected and if I join that company, is my income Halal or Haram?
