Q: This incident happened 10 years back.
I worked for an American company in UAE. While travelling in UAE, I billed the company for my travel expenses (as per the company policy) the bill was for 20,000 Dirhams but they transferred USD 20,000 in my account. I contacted the finance person and asked him to send the correct amount and withdraw the wrong amount. He did that, however, few days later, another USD 20,000 was deposited in my account. I contacted the bank this time but they told me it’s the correct amount as per the transfer. So I didn't do anything for 5 years. Few years back (feeling uneasy) I contacted the company again to see if they wanted their money back but I didn’t get a response. What should I do since I have already used this money? I have been giving out sadaqah with the intention of paying back this amount. Is this correct?
Q: Zaid (a wholesaler) sold goods on credit to the value of R100 000 to Amr (a retailer) on 15 January 2018. The goods were delivered on the same day and the customer’s copy of the delivery note was signed by Amr and given to him for his records with the goods that were delivered to him on the same day. On 26 February 2018 the amount owed for the goods was still outstanding and Amr realised that his goods receiving clerk misplaced the delivery note that was given with the goods. Amr was very concerned that his auditors will insist on inspecting the copy of the delivery note so he quickly contacted Zaid and requested a copy of the delivery note that the supplier normally keeps. Zaid informed Amr that his company’s policy is to charge R100 for this request as it requires the time of his admin clerk who has to leave whatever work he is doing and now attend to searching through the company records, locating that particular delivery note, then scanning it and emailing it. Amr is very happy to pay the R100 fee so long as he gets a copy of the delivery note.
Is it permissible for Zaid to charge Amr this agreed upon fee for the copy of the delivery note?

Q: My question is related to the usage of certain things... As in the recent days the Netherlands govt. was involved in initiating a blasphemy contest (na'aoozu-billah) that was later called off... Here in pakistan, Muslim ulama and Ahl e ilm called on ppl to boycott dutch products, so that we could defeat them on economic grounds..
Also being a Muslim nation, love for our Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is higher above all thingss... There are many items, some are wholly dutch products while others here I would particularly talk about them such as milk products, many milk companies that are top ranked are in partnership with dutch (friedscampania dairy company). That company invested in our country 's milk companies, however barcodes on items is that of Pakistan... So, what should we do? Can we consume them, particularly when one cannot easily buy fresh milk, as in the hostel? But still this thing irks that Netherlands is tha investor.
