Q: According to a Sahih Hadith of Abu Dawood the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) had installed a head stone on the grave of a Sahabi for the purpose of identification in order that other family members could be buried near him. Accordingly the majority of the Ulama (including the salafi scholars are also in agreement) a grave stone can be installed as a marker. However the members of the managing committee of the graveyard of our town are forcibly stopping people from acting on this hadith giving their own personal reasons. Are they justified in forcibly preventing their Muslim brethren to act on a proven example of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)? Please give your opinion.

Q: There is a soccer tournament taking place in a neighbouring town, and up to 8 teams are invited to participate. Each team has to pay an 'affiliation/entry' fee of R2800 in order to participate. The winning team receives prize money of R4500. The team that comes out 2nd receives R2000. The rest of the teams do not receive any money.
