I have a garage; man comes to get his car repaired. It requires parts which I have to buy and this requires me to spend time, effort, transportation etc. So I tell him that the parts will cost him 1000 Dirhams, and he agrees – but I know that the parts will cost only 800 Dirhams. What is the ruling on the extra money that I charged him?

If you will charge 200 for fixing it, this is permissible. But if you are going to make a profit of the part itself, this is not permissible.

Actually, before I broke my fast, i have the thoughts that i am worshipping my desires and wife if i broke my fast and have intercourse with her yet i still went ahead and do it. If i repented but did not even try to fast back 14 months of 7 days that i purposely skipped and die this way. Will my sins be forgiven? If not, is it shirk or sins of breaking fast?

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?
