Q&A: Polio Vaccinations and Monopoly

Question: Assalamu alaikum, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى protect you and the Ummah and give victory to the Ummah through you. Please I have two questions and prayed may Allah make it easy for you. 1. What is your view according to Islam concerning polio vaccination that the western worlds and America are claiming to help some third world countries with free-of-charge? 2. Is it allowed according to Shariah to buy farm produce e.g. beans, during period of harvest when they are in surplus in order to store them until the period when the supply is meager and to sell at a profitable or higher price?

The Masjid is not like any other building, it is a House of Allah (SWT). Underneath the marbled bricks and the mosaic tiled walls there lies a mission statement. At the peak of the glossy minarets soaring towards the sky there lies echoes of a call, this is it's soul. If the Masjid could speak about our communities and the company it keeps, what would it say?

The Masjid is asking for something more than it's expansion and more than just it's beautification. You are invited to learn what the role of the Masjid should be, based on the life of our beloved Prophet (saw). "And who are more unjust than those who forbid that Allah's Name be mentioned in Allah's Masjids and strive for their ruin It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them (Allah's Masjids) except in fear" Sur

Q&A: Drawing Pictures, Benefitting from Impurities & Work of the Employee based on Commission

Questions:  Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu... There are three questions which I hope that you kindly respond to them: 1. The ruling of hand drawing and drawing living objects; such as human beings and animals, and then placing them and hanging them in houses.  2. Is it permissible to take a gene from a pig, such as a growth gene, and then putting it in a halal food, such as cucumber, for the sake of growth? 3. These days, using the word percentage has increased, that is if you sold this month for 120,000 dinars, you would get a quarter percentage for example; and if you did not sell, you would not get anything. Is this state permissible? May Allah bless you, be with you, and bring victory between your hands. Answer: Wa Alaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, 1. As to hand drawing and drawing living objects... Drawing pictures of humans and animals that are similar to reality... Prohibition mentioned in the evidences applies
