Business and Dealings

Q: My mother bought a certain baby accessory for my baby sister. At the time of purchasing, she was not aware of the fatwa (of ownership) so she simply bought it without making any specific intention of who the owner is. In other words, she bought it with her own money for my baby sister (her youngest daughter) to use.

Its been 5 years and now I am married and have a child. Will it be permissable for my mother to give me possesion over that accessory so that I can use it for my baby?

Q: There is a loyalty club business where you pay for a yearly membership and get discounts on a variety of stores. The company also gives you free entries into bi monthly prize draws to win a car, etc.

Q: For money issues, I sold my car to my friend for 5 million and on the same day, I want to take back my car from him for easy installments. But he is selling it back to me for 6 million over 30 months installments. Is this allowed in Islam? The car is still on my name.

Q: I am a young mom and don't work because of my little one. My husband isn't earning much so I recently started a business from home to at least fullfil my own needs. I sell online women's western clothes like skirts, cropped tops, jeans, etc.

I invested some money in it (my small savings I had) but the other day a thought came to my mind if it's halaal to sell such kind of clothes. Having said that most of my customers are Christians. Can you please help me if it's okay to sell such clothes to non-Muslim women?
