CHEATING THE EMPLOYER IS UNLAWFUL


Question:

I have a relative who works as a telephone operator; he sometimes transfers long-distance calls for me for free, without letting his employer know that he does so. Am I sinning, even though the company is well off and isn't affected by what we do?


Answer:

This practice is unlawful unless your relative attains permission from them; it is treachery on the part of your relative. I ask Allaah Almighty to guide us all.

CONGRATULATIONS WITH THE STATEMENT MABRUK


Question:

What is the ruling on congratulating someone with the work Mabruk, as it is said that it is taken from the word Baruk meaning the kneeling of a camel, and it does not have the meaning of Mubarak (may you be blessed) from the word Barakah (blessing)?
Answer:

The word is fine since most people only use it to mean Barakah (blessing), then according to the custom it means the same thing as Mubarak. I also do not see that it is correct according to the rules of conjugation, to say that it is derived from Barak so i do not see anything to prevent the usage of Mabruk to mean Mubarak.
