A certain Masjid committee invested in the Oasis company on behalf of the Masjid

Q: A certain Masjid committee invested in the Oasis company on behalf of the Masjid. At that time they had not known that it was Haraam. By the time the committee discovered that it was Haraam the investment had already accrued 100 000 rands profit. The question now is that what should be done with the profits gained? A certain Aalim says that since the money belongs to the community, the trustees of the Masjid will have to take them into consideration when getting rid of the money. Another Aalim says that the money is Waqf. Therefore, the trustees will have the independent right of spending the money wherever it may be appropriate without consulting the public. Which of the 2 opinions are correct?

With regards to where the money should be spent, the first Aalim says that it could be spent to build some toilets for the Masjid, etc.. The second Aalim says that there certain people in the community who are heavily involved in debt. Among them 2 are deserving of Zakaat and the third although he is not deserving of Zakaat but he is having difficulty in paying the debt. Therefore, this money should be spent in paying off these peoples debts. Which opinion should be taken?

Removing interest money from fixed deposit accounts using other halaal money

Q: I have acted in error and require your advice in the following matter:

As a result of the sale of mtn shares, I transferred monies from the share trading account into an Albaraka investment account which operates like a fixed deposit account. After a few weeks I realised that I had (due to my own error) actually transferred some interest monies as well. This investment account has been earning profits. The percentage of interest monies at the time amounts to 6.5%. Due to the fact the Albaraka account operates as a fixed deposit, I cannot access the monies immediately. Is it permissible for me to take out 6.5% of the entire investment account from other halaal sources and distribute this as interest monies. Will this make up for my grave error?

Medical Aid

Q: I have know that taking out a medical aid policy is impermissible. However, will a person who has a chronic illness and is always in and out of hospital be able to take out a medical aid policy due to the lack proper health care in the state hospitals? Similarly, i know of a hear patient who is supposed to be getting medication from the state, but due to the poor conditions at hospitals, at times he either gets his medication late or not at all. Will he be able to take out a medical aid policy in order to get his medication from a pharmacy due to the exorbitant costs of the medication?
