Q: For the creditor to accept extra gifts from the debtor is impermissible due to it being riba. When the debtor pays his loan back in full, and at the same time decides to give the creditor a gift/extra money for his help, would this be riba, or is it that since the loan is over the creditor can accept this gift?
Q: Whenever I take my son (2.5 years old) to the mall with my family for shopping, he always tantrums and cries to buy expensive cars (500 USD). If I have to take a small cheap car for him, he is never satisfied and sometimes he reminds me at home with a sad face. Alhamdulillah, my financial position is sound and I can afford to buy it. What is the Islamic ruling?

Q: An antique was gifted to us by the father of a friend who later was revealed to be a crook. He cheated us out of business and various mechanisms. We were unaware at the time he was an employee. This antique was gifted to us by the father of the crook who does not have good relations with his son who has gone astray. It is fully certified and carries the paperwork of authentication at Ministry of Tourism level. Hence our confusion and 2 scenarios:
1. Is it permissible to sell this antique and use the money for ourselves, since it was from the father and not from the son? Is it jaiz to assume a father might be like his son, the warning of making lawful things prohibited as in Surah Tahrim comes to mind. As well as the warning of acting on unfound suspicion as in Surah Hujarat. The father could be completely innocent.
2. If it is not permissible to use the money from the sale of the antique out of suspicion and caution, its not pure enough for sadqah either. Can it be used to pay off debts incurred by the scheming of this ex-employee? Kindly advise what to do with the money once the antique is sold. How may it be spent?

Q: My two small girls ages 5 and 6 were gifted 18 carat gold pendants. My husband wants to sell them to buy beds for them as our 9 year old is sleeping on the floor on a mattress.
I'm against it as I told him that it is not permissible to do so as this was gifted to them. He's refusing to listen and said to ask Mufti saheb the above. Please advise.
Q: There is an app of Google known as "Google pay". It's used to transfer money from account to account. But every time when this app is used for money tranfer, it gives some money back as "cash back". For example... if I transfer 1000 rupees to Zaid's account, Zaid will get the full 1000 rupees and I will also get 10 or 20 rupees as cash back. Is this 10 to 20 rupees halaal?
