Q: Is investing in Heera Gold company halaal or haraam. The company says that it is halaal because it trades in gold, textiles and other products and does not deal in riba. If we invest about one laakh rupees we would get approx 3000 rupees per month and we can take our amount of one lakh when we want. It says that there is 60 -40 partnership and we are also entitled to loss. There is lots of people who invest in this company thinking it's halaal so could you please research on this company and give fatwa on weather it's halaal or haraam?

Q: I asked about EHT or EFT, but what about this Aafiya healing that this guy from UK is teaching. Also uses energies and quraan ayaats and it's a BID healing practice?

Q: Your fatwa response on body talk an reiki is noted however the problem we here is Azaadville have a bigger issue having to deal with the influence of EFT, which is promoted by an Aalimah, and has changed it to EHT to make it more islamic, however basic processes included Allah awareness but is still based on EFT and its practices, so if it is promoted by an Aalimah how do we convince people its a non-islamic practice? Also she says she has approval from some mufti in PMB yet no local muftis besides that approve body talk. What is sad is that most Aalimahs attend and approve her courses, so how do we get messages out or prevent people from being misled?
