Q: I want to know about doing a course by showing fake experience certificate. I want to do a welding course, but for that you must have 3 years of welding field experience. But I am not in the welding field now. I work in a different field and if I go to a welding related job, then I can't get the salary I am getting now. It will be decreased to the salary of a freshman. Now I have 12000 per month salary, and in the welding job I wil get only 7-8 thousand. Can I show a fake experience certificate to the institute for this course? Will my salary be halaal?

Q: I want to purchase the new car from the bank. The price of the car is (lets say 500,000 Rs) in one shop and 550,000 Rs in other shop and from the bank it is 600,000. Each of them has different value based on the profit they take from the buyer. (Basis that every one has the right to get the maximum benefit based on the investment). Please guide me. Can I take the car from the bank?

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: We are two partners in a business. The one partner works in the business and takes a salary. When there is profit-sharing, how do we divide our profits?

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?
