I want to know if i understood the hadith right about not to sell something which u do not possess. I will make an example, i hope you understand and can give rule if this is permissible. I work in a company and they would sell me furniture for 300 dollars. I have not bought any. What i want to do is tell a friend “hey i want to sell u a piece of furniture for 600 dollars.” The friend agrees and is about to hand u the money but the problem is u havent owned the furniture so u will have to go buy it first and then sell. And since u dont want to go in risk to buy the furniture first and have nobody to buy it, you would tell your friend “give me 600 and i will hand it over to u tomorrow”. So u made a deal with a friend that ure gonna sell something to him but first he has to give u the money, so that u can buy it from that owner (since u dont own it) for 300 dollars then u keep the other half. Is this permissible?

If you got your menses and then It stopped and you saw for certain your purity, what came after two days is not your menses as the blood wasn’t flowing! Such brownish discharges are to be neglected aft seeing the purity until you see the flow of blood!

You can give it within his knowledge as it is your own property and you may do with it what pleases you! However, if it has some sentimental value, you shouldn’t break his heart by giving it away, even if it is permissible.

I grew up seeing people standing when they enter the masjid and the muazzin is saying the athan, they wait till he finishes then they perform the nawafil. I adopted it too, I now thought hey, I have never asked about it & never heard any scholar talks about it. Is this practice Ok? And can someone just perform his nawafil even if the athan is being called?

Prayer

Waiting to repeat behind the Mo’athin and saying the Duaa afterwards is better! One can pray as soon as he finishes saying the athan!
