Dealing with non-Muslims

Non-Muslim workers

Q:

1. If non-Muslim women servants on their 25 December event ask their Muslim owners to give them holiday? What should the owner do?

2. If they ask to give them rupees ,milk etc for that event because they work there and can ask there for their requirements. What should the owner do in this case?

3. If the owner calls these servants using words like ; O my daughter etc for the sake of good behavior and for the sake of greed (so that they do not Leave this place for working and not do not go another place for work). Is there any permission in Islam to call non Muslim servants with these words? As people of more age are called with respect by other people of less age.

4. Can non Muslim servants be also treated with respect?

5. Can non Muslims wash the clothes and pots of Muslims? And clothes ( they wash clothes at that method that we told them on which clothes become paak) and pots become paak after being Washed by non Muslims?

Befriending kuffaar

Q: Four days ago a Hindu friend of mine was showing me the idol and addressing it as god and asking me like "do you know what this god's name is?" I in my heart I knew that Allah is the only lord and there is no god except Allah but I told him I don't know his name and then he told me it's name and then I said I have heard it in some movies. Was there any kufr in my statement because I did not tell him directly that the idol is not god and when he asked me "what is the name of this god?" I said I don't know. By seeing the scenario it looks like I don't know that god's name (but in my heart I knew Allah is the only god). I usually read the shahdah after every wudu. This happened on Thursday and I started getting doubts about these statements on Monday. So if that was kufr and I have prayed Salaah for four days, should I pray again but I read the shahadah Thursday itself after wudu. Were my salaah valid?
