Purchasing a house and giving it out on rent

Q:

1. Some one is on rent and they are still on rent and he has sold his house for 27 lacs and he has not still enough money to purchase a house in which all family members be settled. And now he is trying to purchase a house in a sense so that he can fulfil his current financial problems (for giving current rent in which they are still living), through rent income. It is permissible in Islam to purchase a house and allow it on rent , the income of this house is use for the rent of a house in which someone is rented.

2. It is permissible in Islam to invest the payment of sold house in a National savings centre in that sense to gain the fixed amount for a month (e.g. 9000) so some one can fulfil his financial problems (for giving current rent in which they are still living).

Hiring a non-Muslim artisan instead of a Muslim

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?

Sharing a hotel room

Q: A hotel lets out its rooms on a per person charge basis. Zaid books a room for three nights on the basis of one person staying and accordingly only pays for one person. Later, he decides to share the room with his brother, Amr. Zaid claims that he is entitled to the use of any amount of water, lights etc. when he paid for one person, so sharing the use of these facilities with Amr is in actual fact an extension of the benefits that Zaid is entitled to. Is it permissible for Zaid to do this?
