Business and Dealings

Using paper currency

Q: Is using paper currency In accordance with sharia and is it permissible?

Hence the world trade currency is not based of any tangible asset such as gold or silver.

The federal reserve prints USD without any backing then using it to provide loans to poor countries in exchange for services and goods. It also gives Central Banks control over the economy and have control on how much is printed to who it is distributed to and is unjustly distributed.

They also use banking methods such as Riba and fractional banking which is haraam and is the backbone of their financial system.

Lying to a courier company

Q: I have ordered online. The courier delivered the item to the security or maid. I then asked the sender where is my items as it was not delivered to me and the proof of delivery has the maid or security name. They then offered a refund or replacement. I did this a few times with a few companies. I wanted to know if this is haraam

Selling a stolen phone

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?
