Speaking lies to get a job

9 years ago By admin

Q: I have two questions and it is about Haraam or Gunaah and they are as follows:

1. I took admission in degree course with the help of some source though I did not clear the entrance exam and also based on that qualification I got job. Please tell me is it Haraam or Gunaah?

2. Also I worked in 7 companies. I lied in 5 interviews about my experience. Please tell me whether it is Haraam or Gunaah and if it is Haraam then does that mean everything I have earned and spent after that is Haraam? If it is Gunaah then one solution which came into my mind is that start learning or doing something from my parents money and try to earn a living from that. Is it possible that Allah will consider it as repentance.

Employer cheating the customers

Q: I am working in Singapore. I am in charge for some oil carrying ships of a company. I would prepare the ships technically to run smoothly. But I don't involve myself in the operation department. But my boss cheats the customers by supplying oils short. For eg: instead of 5000 MT, 4600 MT will be supplied through the help of the operation department. Kindly advise whether my earnings are halaal? Though I am not involved myself in these activities, I feel that my earnings are haraam and my duas will not be accepted.

Working for a company whose name has Greek religious connotations

9 years ago By admin

Q: A company that was founded and currently owned by a Muslim has the name 'Hyperion.' In Greek mythology, 'Hyperion' is the name of a child between the Sky and Earth deities. This is a formal definition of the word 'Hyperion': "Hyperion is a Titan and a son of Uranus and Gaia. He is married to his sister Theia and has three children - Helios, Selene and Eos. The name Hyperion means "he who goes before the sun" and may have arisen because he was sometimes thought of as the sun." ["Hyperion." Encyclopedia Mythica. 2015. Encyclopedia Mythica Online.] Hence, the name of this Muslim-owned company has the same kufr-shirk connotations as Nike. Please advise:

(1) Is it permissible to utilize the services of a company with such a name? They provide online courses in computer programming and similar services.

(2) Is it permissible to be employed in such a company?
