Halal and Haram

I like to clarify whether working for large retail companies such as Amazon and Tesco is halal or haram?
Both Amazon and Tesco are selling alcohol, pork and haram food.
If I work for these companies as a data analyst where I don't sell haram products nor carry them nor promote them, will my job and income halal? Or is it still haram, because Amazon and Tesco are making their money also through selling haram products and even though I don't get involved directly, the salary I am receiving may get involved with the income of these products?

I provide workplace safety consultancy to clients. I inspect their workplaces for safety issues and advise them to implement appropriate control measures

I have a client who is a departmental shop owner.

I recently found out that one of services the shop provides is a counter for buying lottery ticket.

If I don’t cover this area, will the fee their pay for my service be considered halal? Or will it still be considered haram as the client generate income from the lottery ticket sales?

Salam alaykum,

A few weeks ago while at work I did something inappropriate. I made sure to check nobody was watching. However, I now believe that if I was caught doing this thing by someone else, it is potentially likely that I would be fired from my job. My job itself is Halal but now I am wondering whether my income is Halal as I have done something that may be a stackable offence and have just not told anyone

I have just converted to Islam and my job is selling reptiles. I would like to know if opening a store to sell beautiful, friendly, and harmless reptiles is halal or haram.

Assalamualikum, I recently learned of an American marketing company that requires me to provide product reviews, I have never purchased or utilized the product.

Is this money haram as basically I'm just submitting review for product which I never used? Also I intent to give this complete income in poor.

Assalam waaleykum

Where to even begin... Growing up in the united states i fell into gang culture and a shameful lifestyle. During the course of my unfortunate ventures i have commited a mountain of sins most of which are stealing(scamming, fraud, etc...). Unfortunately for me i was good at it and managed to make a lot of money doing so astaghfirullah. I have since left this shameful life and have changed my ways especially making tremendous efforts to earn an honest and halal living.

The issues lies when i came to know that repentance to allah alone does not suffice and the stolen wealth must be returned to the rightful owners which brings up a series of problems for me. 1- The amount of money i stole was A LOT, 90% of which i no longer have (either spent or was stolen from me ironically). 2- Due to the elaborate nature of the schemes i do not personally know any of the victims considering everything was done online using stolen data from people i do not know.

I have since been working hard and making a halal income which i have managed to accumulate a bit of wealth(no where near the amount stolen but nonetheless), i intend to repay this money to charity and attempt to make ammends for my wrong doings if i even live long enough to be able to clear this gigantic burden

My questions are the following:

1. Must i now forfeit all of my wealth to repay what ever i can of this debt including my halal earned income (no one is supporting me and i do not have a stable income because i am a freelancer)?

2. Must i forfeit any hopes of accumulating any wealth or success in this dunya considering all of my money must potentially go towards paying these debts which i may never live to pay off due to the big amount?

3. will allah forgive me if i were to die prior to being able to repay these debts regardless of the sincerity of my intentions to do so?

4. if i may keep a portion of my halal earnings moving forward what split do i have to work out. should i give 99% of everything only leaving money for food and rent? May i keep accumulating halal wealth (while maintaining the intention of paying back) to be able to afford a car, get married, support a family, etc...?

A swift response would be tremendously appreciated as this matter is troubling like none of you can believe. I often cry about this matter and feel as if mercy is on the verge of being unaffordable for me due to these disgusting actions i committed being astray in a difficult time in my life. I fear punishment in this life, the grave and the next life...

someone help me

Thank you, jazakallah khair

Salam 3aleykum,

I would need religious advice. I am taking a contraceptive neuroleptic that I cannot stop. On the other hand, my husband refuses procreation, depriving me of an essential right. I have to go through artificial insemination. Is there a sin if the donor is someone other than my husband and is there a sin in resorting to this insemination without my husband's consent?

Baraka Lahou fikum.

At first I had written two separate questions but now I'm putting both of them in one, I hope you will understand them without difficulties. please guide me as fast as you can.

I'm a from India, recently I got enrolled in B.ED. (Bachelor Of Education) course but since unemployment is at it's peak in my country and getting job is very hard these days, so along with B.ED. I also started preparing for competitive exams for government jobs. So in this B.ED. course there is one month internship program in which I have to go teach in some local government schools, but in reality it's just a formality and ceremonial thing and nobody takes it seriously, not even the authority in charge but one have to go for official record. So while I was enrolling in B.ED. I thought it will be easy and it won't affect my competitive exam preparation and I will get away with it but as it's turns out it can affect my competitive exam preparations, so one of my relatives, who is in charge of one of these local schools told me that he will put false attendance in my name and I won't have to go for internship and could focus on my competitive exam preparations instead. So should I take his offer? Would it be halal ? Please note that since unemployment is very high I had to prepare for two courses at same time. please clarify. Jaz?k All?hu Khayran.

assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh (another question related to B.ED. course)

I'm from India, recently I got enrolled in B.ED. (Bachelor Of Education) course, but since unemployment is at it's peak in my country and getting job is very hard these days, so like majority of the students I also started preparing for competitive exams along with this B.ED. Course. So in B.ED. Students have to appear in at least 75% of classes to be eligible to sit in final exams ( it's a rule created by University) I knew this even before enrolling in B.ED but I thought at that time that like other professional courses, the B.ED. colleges will also be liberal in nature and will submit 75% of attendance even if the student haven't appear for a single day, most of these colleges knew that students these days prepares for competitive exams besides their courses so they tend to be very liberal and friendly and submit false attendance. But as it turns out my college was not one of them and are demanding some money before submitting 75% of required attendance. They says it's a fair compensation although there is no such exemption given by the university . Should I give them this money/bribery ? because if I don't my whole year will be lost along with the fees. Would it be halal in my case ? Please note that since unemployment is very high and competition is huge in my country most of the students prepare for competitive exams along with their regular courses. Please guide me. Jaz?k All?hu Khayran.

I have got a proposal of the daughter of someone who works in the finance company. I want to confirm whether his income and past savings are halal.

He is the VP in the recoveries and receivable department of vehicles. The department responsibilities are:
- contacting people who have not paid their instalment for the vehicle.
- If they don�t respond after contacting few times, filing a legal case and police report against them.
- Bringing the vehicles back when people fail to pay their instalment.

He doesn�t directly collect the instalment money as he is in senior position. He has around 400 people under him. His role is more around giving advice and distributing work to people. He has worked most of his career in this department of the company. Many other practising muslims work in his company. He will be retiring from the company in couple of months.

Is his income halal? Are his savings halal? Is it okay to have food in his income or accept gifts from him? If his daughter is pious and deeni, will it be alright to accept their proposal?

Is it allowed to join sports competitions with entry fees, even if I don�t accept the prize when I win? The organizer uses part of the entry fee for the monetary prizes.

As-salamu alaikum, For example: if somebody does a halal job, but (because of ocd) he thinks it is a haram job which involves kufr (blasphemy) , but he is still doing it. Later he found out that the job was totally halal and nothing about that job was haram let alone kufr/blasphemy. Was he sinful and is the salary that he earned during that time haram for him ?

Assalamu alaikum. I am Washim from India. I am currently serving as
an Assistant Teacher at a Government Primary School. I have been
offered a promotion to the position of Head Teacher at another
government school. If I accept this promotion, I will be responsible for
managing the MID-DAY-MEAL scheme, wherein the government
provides meals to each present student in the school. The issue at hand
is that the government allocates only 5.45 Indian Rupees
(approximately 0.066 USD or 0.25 Saudi Riyal) per student, which is
insufficient to cover the cost of a meal in the current market.
Consequently, many Head Teachers inflate the number of students
present in order to receive additional funds from the government to
cover the expenses of serving mid-day meals. While our higher
authorities are aware of this practice, they do not penalize the teachers
for inflating student numbers, as they understand the impracticality of
serving meals at such a low cost. However, I find myself feeling
uncomfortable about accepting the position of Head Teacher. I fear that
I will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment if I engage in
falsifying student numbers to the government. Nonetheless, I am also
inclined to accept the promotion as it would lead to an increase in
salary and grant me greater authority to effectively manage the school.
What should I do in this situation? Please advise. Jazakallahu Khair.

Salam Allaikum,

Around 7-8 years ago, I applied for a student loan which I used to finance my studies while in the UK. Unfortunately when I applied for the loan, I was under the understanding that it was not prohibited. Now I am certain that it was haram and that interest will be added which is a continuous haram as I am repaying it. My question is, I should I start by paying a large amount every month, which at this moment is already a dilemma as I recently got married and I need to support her. The other option would be to avoid paying any substantial amount, and avoid paying later one as I already do not live in the UK, and plan on not moving there again, and will most likely be under a smaller income in the future which will not cross the threshold that required me to repay. Would this be considered a debt which is haram to not repay. A key point is that the debt will be cancelled after 30 years.

I purchased a game that features a drawing of the prophet , “deitys", and many kufr. In the game known as Mudae, you have to use a command to get random characters and the main goal of the game is to keep rolling until you gather specific characters. These characters originate from shows that feature magic and other haram subjects. I submitted the game to an online group so that we could play together in real time but I regret it, I want to tell them to remove the games they're playing but I'm afraid of telling others I'm Muslim in fear they'll mock me or shun me. Whenever a online friend says something kufr towards me, I'm hesitant to inform them I'm Muslim since I fear they'll dislike me. Whenever an online Muslim says something that's haram like “holy S--t” I want to inform them that's haram but I'm scared to inform them I'm muslim in fear they'll tell my other online friends I'm muslim. I feel like im a kafir and it has affected my will to pray.

Does watching someone who says kufr statements or blasphemous statements, such as holy [curse word] and oh my [curse word] God, or other blasphemous statements, that takes someone out of the fold of Islam? I know that YouTube promotes videos that receive more views, so every time I watch a video that have kufr statement but those statements aren't related to the topic of the video, the platform's algorithm promotes the video to others because I viewed it, does this mean that just by watching a video or even using a platform that allows kufr at all makes someone a kafir? Do you think I support Kafir for making it more visible to others on YouTube because YouTube promotes it because my viewing encourages YouTube to promote the video because I viewed it?
