Q: I moved to another house and my previous landlord kept my deposit and they made me sign a letter that I did not read. That letter was mandatory to sign to vacate the house. After moving to another house, they sent me a letter and said I pay some amount of money for cleaning the previous house. I want to ask if I will not pay that amount and I signed the paper (which was mentioned to you above) so it is dishonesty or a sin?

Q: Can an Imaam charge you a fee when doing a Nikaah because I've asked everybody and everybody's answer is the same that the Imam is not suppose to charge but rather you can give what you can afford to give him as thanks.

Q: My friends and I are planning to register a company which focuses on construction solutions. Presently, we are working in a company as employees and all of us are working in different sectors. Our employer has several businesses, and healthcare is one of them. For each machine installation, they hire a third party for construction and finishing works. My question is that we are the employees of the same company and now we want to open our own company to be the third party for their construction work. Can we take orders for construction jobs from our company without showing them that we own the third company? Will this be permissible?

Q: There are two artisans I can deal with, one non-Muslim and another Muslim, the non-Muslim goes out of his way to give us excellent service, with good prices etc. the Muslim unfortunately does not offer excellent service we have chosen the non-Muslim but the thought crosses our mind that is it the correct thing to do. I mean ignoring Muslims and giving business to non-Muslims rather. I also give Dawat to him sometimes on the phone or maybe with paying on time etc. What is the respected Mufti Sahebs advice in this regard?
