Q: I am 20 years old and live in the UK. Here we are obliged to have car insurance. Similarly, for delivering food etc. (Uber eats) we are required to have food insurance. Insurance companies don't supply that to us until we are 21, so right now, I do food delivery for Uber eats on a normal insurance. That would mean that I am not abiding by the law of the land, would that make my income haraam?
My dad is currently not working and I am paying rent for the house. Furthermore, I intend on buying another car in the next few months. If this income is haraam, when I am 21 and do the food delivery legally, but the car I use to deliver the food is from haraam money, does that make whatever I earn haraam?
If it is haraam, once I turn 21, can I repent and give the calculated amount I've earned up until I became 21, to charity? Would my income thereafter be halaal?
Q: Is it halaal for someone to patent his idea, invention or design? Also, is it halaal for him to earn through his patents?
Q: I live in a rented apartment in the UK. Before renting an apartment in UK, we have to pay a deposit which is refundable when we leave the apartment. By mistake my landlord created 2 deposits and I got twice the money back when I left the apartment. I contacted my landlord and told them that this was a mistake on their part and they told me they will contact me soon about this issue. They haven’t contacted me yet. Since I have done my duty of informing them and if they don’t ask for it back or claim it, is it halaal for me to keep the money?
Q: I have only one daughter. I own a house and no bank balance.
1. Can I gift the house, my complete property to my daughter in my life and give full control over it to her? Can we stay with her in that house only after giving her the full control over it? I have heard that a gift can be given from 1/3rd of the property and a gift can be given to non heirs.
2. If I don't give the gift, what will be the shares of my only daughter and wife?
3. I had two brothers and two sisters out of which one brother has passed away. So what will be the share of my remaining brother and two sisters in my property?
4. Will my nephews and nieces inherit from my property as their father is no more?
NOTE: Please answer all these questions in the light of my case as I have only one daughter and no sons.
Q: I want to enquire about the shari ruling regarding boycotting products of any kafir country that openly commits blasphemy. What should be done with the products (biscuits and cosmetics) that we already purchased before this issue?
Q: Would it be jaaiz for people to give presents on Eid. I have seen some people give wrapped up presents with cards, very similar to Christmas, on the night before Eid, to the children. They have a big gathering to give this. They say that they do this because children won’t know how to spend the money properly. Would this be jaaiz? What is the status of giving Money on Eid?
