Q: I have a medical website hosted for free by a company called WordPress. Occasionally, they will place an advert on my website at their discretion. The content and image of the advertisement could be for anything, i.e: advertising insurance, a vehicle, a gambling website, a holiday cruise etc. Often an animate object is included. These adverts will often link to the respective website. I have no control over these adverts that appear occasionally nor its sometimes haraam content. - Is it necessary to change to another web-host company that does not do this, or pay a fee for the Wordpress 'No-Ads Upgrade'?

Q: Could you kindly tell me whether Islamic banks are halal if I decide to buy a house? As far as I know even Islamic banks are not 100% halal. How do I know which Islamic banks are genuinely Halal, what are the signs?What do I need to to consider? Most of them claim to be Islamic and according to sharia law but it is sad to know that it is the same as taking riba at the end.

Q: The haraam of corruption is so deep routed into the system so much so no work can be achieved especially from government organisations without paying the ransom money [bribe]. This is demanded as a rule and even what is rightly due to us cannot be obtained without giving into to this zulm. Under these circumstances can one pay off this amount with interest money obtained from the banks instead of paying from our hard earned halaal sources?

Q: I am planning to buy a properly in UK. I have saving but it is far away from the amount the property cost. So I have to take a loan from the bank. I also tried with Islamic bank but their requirements are too high for me I do not match their requirements. So all is left is to get a mortgage from a non Muslim bank.

My question is: Is it still ok if I take loan from the bank if I have a property in India? It is actually a shop,and my father also left me a part of his property share that is £15000,- worth both are rented and my dependant are is getting the rent. So is it wise to sell the property (shop worth £25000,-)India and get less loan here? It would be £ 20000-30000 less RIBA base loan. Is it haram to keep the property in India and not sell it and on top get loan here? Or sell all in India, invest in UK property and get rid of more loan here because it is based on RIBA. Should I sell the property in India and send my family on a monthly Basis money? Because I am capable to send them money even if I had to sell everything there. What is wise or what is the right way to do in Islam. Or shall I just sell the shop and keep one property for them to get the rent from? Please guide I am really confused!
