Q: I am a student of Deen and I noticed that in the Fiqhi Kitaabs, it is mentioned that the Mazhab of Imaam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) is that it is permissible to lease out one’s premises to a liquor store or church (or a bank). When this is the clear verdict of Imaam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah), then why do we see some Ulama preventing people from this?

Q: I bought 3 Ryse supplements from TikTok shop 2 years ago but I claimed that they never showed up even though they did and I received a refund. What can I do for forgiveness and to use this product? Is it even possible to use the product?
I contacted TikTok customer service and they said they usually cover the cost so TikTok is the ones that lost money. I told the customer service individual that I received the order but still asked for a refund and they said that I can’t pay for it now. If I can't use them do I give them away as they are protein supplements.
Q: Please assist with query below:
Ismail and Ishaaq are partners in purchasing properties. They have 10 properties that are owned jointly by their company. Both of them own a 50% share. Ishaaq wants to give his two daughters a 25% share each of his 50% share (which is effectively 12.5 % of the entire company to each daughter).
1. Will Ishaaq need Ismail's permission to do this?
2. Will an ordinary offer and acceptance of this gifting be valid? Considering it is spread over few properties and jointly owned, how can he otherwise pass on ownership?
3. If he sells the share to them at a minimal price instead of gifting it, will it be valid e.g. the share is worth R1 million, and he sells it to them for R1000, will this be valid?
Q: I have recently moved into a house which forms part of complex and is run by a body corporate. The house belongs to my wife in a Family Trust, however I pay the expenses to run the house. I have just recently found out that the monthly levies I pay includes a portion which is allocated to insurance for the home. I was unaware of this and thought that the home was uninsured.
Please advise on what I should do ?
