Business and Dealings

Q: What is the definition of riba?

Q: Is it permissible for Muslim businesses to accept credit card payment?

Q: I am a student studying in university. When the university is off, I come home on the local coach. The route is from Qasoor to Larri Adda. I dont pay the fare because the coach owners mostly stop  after coming to Chaubriji while I have to go to Mao College. I dont pay the fare because of this hadees "jab bi koi cheez rokay to maahz Allah hi ka liya rokay" is this niyat jaiz?

Q: I'm confused about what is meant when "food bought from riba is haraam". I currently have some money from a loan I took out that has interest on it (I was under a lot of pressure from my family and got yelled at for trying to avoid the loan). I was wondering, does all the food bought from this money automatically become haraam to consume because the loan is haraam? If so, I plan on just leaving the unnecessary leftover money in the bank until I have halal earnings. Because if I empty out my bank account trying to return this money, lol can't even imagine what my family would do to me. But yeah, I feel guilty about this loan but I was practically forced into this when I started getting ridiculed for trying to stay halal. So my other question is, wouldn't the sin fall on the person who pressured me into paying riba rather than me?

Q: My family has a normal medical aid policy for me and other family members. Chronic medication is claimed. The amount that is paid to the medical aid each month is far more than the value of the medication. Is it permissible for me to take the medication? Is the medication haraam?

Q: I'm going to be as precise as possible. We are all humans, but I'm a Muslim too. From childhood I may have taken/borrowed someone's money and never returned it back. Like I ask Mom to give me 100 I'll pay u back, but I don't, or I go to a store and the bill is 12 rupees and I pay 10, I say I'll pay u 2 more next time but then I don't coz I literally forget. I mean I even stole money from my mom n dad a few times, it caused fights but I never got caught. But now as I know that I'm mature enough and I repent what I did intentionally or unintentionally I want to pay back every single person I stole money from or borrowed it or just forgot to pay back. The problem is I have 0 to no clue that how much money I actually owe and to whom. Please help me. I give donations and stuff in the name of Allah but I still fear I might still owe people. I'm fully aware that my sharing this question with you is making you a witness of my sins but please don't judge, I'm only trying to seek help and Allah's Forgiveness. What should I do?

Q: What do you think about binary options eg like expert option or iq option. Are they halal or haram? 

Q: If you are in debt, does it affect your taubah or forgiveness? I mean can a debt stop you getting your sins forgiven? would Allah forgive your sins if your in debt?

Q: Can your debt cancel out your good deeds?

Q: I have a job offer from an American Corporation (group of companies) which mainly deals with oil, gas and petroleum industry around the world (about 95% of its business is with this sector). This company has many subdivisions. My work will be in a sub division of the company that only deals with oil, gas and petroleum equipment and customers in the middle east only. But I also came to know that one of the subdivisions of this company in USA/UK makes equipment for naval forces of western military. This business would be not more than 3-4 % of their total earnings. I will not be working in this division at all! Is it okay to accept the offer with the oil, gas and petroleum division and work for this company.
