Q: Is it permissible for Muslims to collect social grants paid by the government as alot of the taxes collected by the government is derived from the sale of haraam products and services such as alcohol and casinos. Just as cooking a large meal in a big pot with all halaal ingredients and then mixing the meal with a little bit of pork makes it haraam, does this principle apply to the collection of grants by this government?

Q: It has been 4 months since I came to Saudi Arabia on a visit visa. There is a man known to my father who has a business. He gave me a job in his business because he knew my father. Now the main thing is, is it halal for me to get this job on a visit visa? Because, I did not come here for work. And I'm working under the guise of the Saudi government. So is it halal for me to work? Or is it forbidden?
Q: I am 20 years old and live in the UK. Here we are obliged to have car insurance. Similarly, for delivering food etc. (Uber eats) we are required to have food insurance. Insurance companies don't supply that to us until we are 21, so right now, I do food delivery for Uber eats on a normal insurance. That would mean that I am not abiding by the law of the land, would that make my income haraam?
My dad is currently not working and I am paying rent for the house. Furthermore, I intend on buying another car in the next few months. If this income is haraam, when I am 21 and do the food delivery legally, but the car I use to deliver the food is from haraam money, does that make whatever I earn haraam?
If it is haraam, once I turn 21, can I repent and give the calculated amount I've earned up until I became 21, to charity? Would my income thereafter be halaal?
Q: I want to enquire about the shari ruling regarding boycotting products of any kafir country that openly commits blasphemy. What should be done with the products (biscuits and cosmetics) that we already purchased before this issue?
