Q: I am currently working in a company as a senior executive. I was given a task by my management to find a guy who would fix a tube well (water well). I found a guy and called him to our office to confirm the project with my management. I requested this guy for a commission after the completion of the project. Is it permissible in Islam to take commission for this kind of outsourced work? 

Q: I have a credit card. When I become cash strapped I resort to the credit card due to ease of access and I always try to pay the debt on the credit card within 55 days as before this, there is no interest charged. However, buying/relying on this facility makes me feel impoverished and fearful of consuming things that I can pay for later. What do you advise me to do? Use the credit card and ensure that I always pay for the debt within the non-interest period? It is permissable to use credit cards?
