Business and Dealings

Q: I bought a phone to sell from someone but when they came to sell it while I'm paying them they say the phone is on contract and they have a way of wiping the name of the person who took the contract off from the database etc. so they don't have to pay etc.

Afterwards I realized it's like stolen so I messaged the person and told him I want to return it but he's now insisting that the contract will be paid for monthly.

What do I do? I sold the phone now, what do I do with the money from it? Is it halal for me to use or must give it away in charity?

Q: I work by farming insects to feed other animals such as salmon and others. Does killing those insects in order to sell them as animal feed count as bad deeds or is it permissible?

Q: I will be starting a small business from home. It's a small business and it is where I make resin keychains, bookmarks and jewellery and I sell them.

I am a woman in purdah so I will be doing it from home Insha Allah. I would like to seek the Ulama's advice as to how can I bring Deen into the business.

Q: My husband is doing 2 jobs at a time. While it's the rule of the first company to not join another one. Is the pay from the other job halal?

Q: I have a credit card loan which I need to pay immediately. For several months I am trying to pay it but I failed. I don't have sufficient money to pay it. But I have a bank deposit from where interest money is automatically generated. I have no other source to pay it other than this interest money.

Previously I did not use this interest money due to Islamic reasons. But now I am in an emergency situation as if I fail to pay my debt, it will generate interest. Kindly help me and show me the correct path. May I use this interest money to pay my debt and seek forgiveness to the Almighty Allah?

Q: Is there any rules and regulations about not working according to an organization's standards?

For example, I work in an organization and my job is to give bonus amount to others based on their work. There is a chart by the organization about how much bonus should be provided according to the work. But if I don't follow it and give a bonus not according to them, will it be ok or not?

Q: My aunt has 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters. In our culture mothers give gifts to their daughters and their families (daughter's husband and children) once during the winter and once during the summer time. Is it possible for my aunt to give gifts only to one of her daughters?

My uncle does not work, so she gets the money from her sons. I'm asking this question because we have read that we have to be just in giving gifts to our children.

She got to know that this rule (being just in gift-giving) is valid only when the mother is getting money from her husband.
