Question:
Salam Un Alaikum, I have a 2 questions: (1) One Mominah Lady(A),has a concern that when she was young about 30 years ago she lost her two golden rings in her house where she lived with her husband mother in law, brother in law and his wife, she straight away suspected that her brother in law's wife Lady(B) stole it,but she did not open her mouth, because she feared backfire, as she [lady(A)] was not treated well in that house. one day she was shocked when saw lady(B) having her rings, again she kept quite, fearing ill treatment or a big fight. One day, Lady (A) found an opportunity to avenge, so she one day pinched a golden ear ring from Lady (B) to equalize tit for tat. the value of two rings which lady (b) stole may be more or less with the value of ear ring lady (A) stole. Now Lady (A) wants to know what to do, she cannot go and ask forgiveness from lady (B) as she fears that her Izaat will get ruined and again fight, how will she pay back the value of ear ring she stole in avenge,if she has to? will she need to pay back the value of 30 years back or today's value.or is there any other way. (2) 20 years ago, one boy was staying in hostel, one day he found out some one has stolen his calculator,he stated searching for it, but could not find it. he instead stole a similar calculator from other student. now he does not know, who that student was, how can he repay? Thanking you Iltimas e Dua Wasalam Bilal
Answer:
1) A must pay back to B the current value of what A has stolen from B. She
does not need to face her or give her directly but even indirect way to pay
her back is enough. This can be done in any way with out disclosing her
identity. The point is that A must pay back to B what ever A has taken from
B.
2) He must pay back the current value of what he has stolen to the person
from whom he has stolen. If he could not know the owner, he should then pay
the value to Mo'min poor persons on behalf of the owner.
Wassalam.

Answer:
Mut'ah marriage between Muslim man and Christian or Jewish woman is
allowed, but it is not allowed with Hindu, Budhist or any other type of non

Question:
salaam u alaykum I have a job in a restaurant, the duties are for me to clean the dishes and prepare the food, it is a halal restaurant run by muslims but they also sell alcohol, I am sometimes asked to throw out the empty bottles of alcohol and boxes, I do not sell any products as my main duties are to clean dishes in the kitchen, can I still work here ? and the money I have already received is this halal or not and how should i purify myself from it ?
Answer:
If you clean the glasses to be used for drinking alcohol, this work is
Haraam ( forbidden) and the money gained from any forbidden work is also
unlawful money. You should not work any work which is related to alcohol in
any direct or indirect way. Previous amount received for unlawful work must
be given to the poor persons as Majhool al Maalik.
Wassalam.
