Q: I am a student and I have friends in school both boys and girls. But on some occasions, can I give a gift to my friends (both female and male friends).

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: Main thing is I need to do what is required in my job and earn money. What if I cheat during my studying career and gain a certificate. Is it haram?

What if I cheat and gain marks and get qualifications and at last get a job. I am able to do what the job requires but I got the job through a haram way (cheating in exams). 

Q: I have both a current account as well as a savings account at the same bank. On both the accounts, the bank levies bank charges, but the savings account is interest-bearing.

In this situation, can the interest received on the savings account be used to pay the charges levied on both accounts by the bank?

If not, then to whom should the interest be given? Can it be given to non-Muslims and even to street beggars or beggars knocking on doors every week?

Q: Is it allowed to sell human hair as wigs as well as plastic hair as wigs which is sold in cosmetic shops. I understand that there is some fatwa regarding it but to my understanding the Hadith states that we cannot sell it or wear it. Please clarify the matter.

Q: Is it halal to buy shares in company like Apple and google?

Q: I currently live in a hostel. I talked to another hostel owner to book a room. He kept a room for me for over 4 days and he denied other people who wanted that room. Now in the morning, the current hostel warden showed me another room with fewer charges and I decided to stay in the current hostel and not to shift. Now, if I stay, did I go against my word (wada khilafi)? I am feeling extremely guilty and I am starting to worry about my beliefs because of the backing out. Can I just say sorry and give some fine?

Q: I am working in a company who has a price listed for items. I am in the sales department. Is it halal for me to buy products at a listed price from my own company and sell these products in the market at profit by not affecting the company's clients or sales volumes? Is getting profit for me in this way halal or not?

Q: Some stores give a card to frequent customers. They give items to card holders for lower prices than other people, and when the items are purchased, they get points which can be used in future to buy things for free from them. Is this allowed?
