Q: I work with a company and its operate a cooperative where any employee can be saving any amount from his or her monthly salary. And one can choose to collect loan and he will pay 10% interest of the amount he collected over period of time.

Q: My question is a regarding business.

I have a store and sometimes I get some guys to buy from me goods for their organisation. (I have no idea who they are funded by). They will only bring to me business if I give them commision. So what I do is if I am selling something for 5000, I quote them 5500. After quote is accepted they give me 5500 and from there I will give them 500 as commision. I want to know is this a halal method? If not can you explain to me in detail a halal way so that we can carry on with business in our shariah way and follow the sunnats of our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).

Q: Is it permissible for a Muslim to take loans for their business or making homes of  their own?

Q: I am planning on buying a new house that costs $250,000. However, I do not have enough money to pay the full amount up front and I do not want to pay interest on the house. The deal I have worked out with the company selling the house is that I will pay $300,000 for the house but I will not pay any interest. Meaning, I will pay $2,000 every month for 150 months for a total of $300,000. This way the company will make some money on the house and I will not pay any interest.

Is this a permissible deal for me to make?

Q: Say, suppose, I had borrowed some money from a certain person (not specific) about few years back.

Would including the extra amount mean I am giving interest and would it be a haram?
