Business and Dealings

Q: I wanted to find out if participating in a stokvel is halaal.

Q: I am a medical student who is also interested in web development, therefore I was thinking of developing a social media app similar to Facebook where people would be able to post photos. What I am concerned about is if people start to post immoral/obscene photos about which I am pretty sure they will on the website. Will I be sinning since I am providing a platform for such content??

Q: I am from a Muslim country. I am planning to invest in a business with a friend in which the friend of my father repairs electronic equipment like fans, washing machines, ovens, irons, etc. and also installs electricity in newly built houses and sells electric items.

My question is that is this type of business halal as we provide our service and the user of all these things will use them for some haraam things like they will watch movies, listen to music and this kind of stuff. In general, is an electric store business permissible?

Q: If a person is dealing in interest money, if he sends food to our house, do we eat it or not?

Q: Is profit paid on a savings account by the bank halaal or haraam?

Q: I'm an 18 year old female and I used to buy lots of personal stuff, for example, an expensive keyboard and mouse, a pair of headphones etc. but I bought these items using the money I stole from my father's wallet without his knowledge and might have stolen some from my mother's purse too. I felt guilty about my deeds later on and I stopped stealing like that and I also told my dad that I stole his money to buy things for myself. He understood the topic and he said he forgave me.

Now first of all, are all the things that I bought using my dads stolen money haraam for me to touch or use ? Even after he forgave me? Do I stop using these stuff? Some of the stuff are actually important for me to use. Do I have to return these goods to my parents? I bought makeup using the stolen money. Do I have to return that to my dad or do I have to pay him the amount that I stole? I estimated it around 600 USD (I didnt steal it in a day of course. It came up to that number day by day). I dont even have a job that I can earn that money and pay him back.

Secondly, the items are (as far as I remember) - a keyboard, a mouse and mouse pad, headphones for gaming, TONS of makeup (like alot), some dresses and accessories, ingredients for making D-I-Y lip balms (like oils and beeswaxes etc.) and empty tin and plastic containers (a LOT of these containers). Do I throw all these items away? Even after I've asked for forgivenesss from my mum and dad?

Thirdly, I also bought some gifts and stationaries with the stolen money from my parents. and the people whom I gave the gifts to, does the items become haraam for them to use and are they unintentionally committing sin because of me? 

Q: I have a website development company with 3 partners including one non Muslim partner. Recently I got some project to design menus website of restaurants that sell wine.

What should I do with the amount that I will get from this work? For this job I need a developer who is working on that. So what should be done to the remaining amount left?

Q: At work, during the lockdown, we were working on a rotational basis. Hence we never get paid for the days we never work. However, the company has put in a request from the UIF fund. Is it permissible for me to consume this money from the UIF, should the amount be more then my total contribution towards it?

Q: Is there a sin in driving over the speed limit? I promised not to drive fast except in emergencies. 

Q: I recruit people to join a holiday club. The members will be asked to pay subscriptions. The money collected will be used to purchase holidays at various resorts and hotels in South Africa. The members will then be entered in a draw and the winners will go on the holiday. Some portion of the collected monies will be used for expenses. Is this permissible?

If it is, will I be accountable for the people, maybe non Muslims eating and drinking haraam food and partaking in such activities that they would do while on holiday?
