QUESTION: Here it is cultural norm to round up the debt amount at Payback or round off as the lender. No stipulations were made before. Example: My mum buys groceries for me 19.36€, i give her 20€ back. Or she payed 20.27€ then she says just give me 20€. This is usually done cause it’s easier or out of shame cause it can be seen as stingy to count every cent. Is this Halal?

QUESTION: I was in the supermarket and an old short lady asked me to help her reach a bottle of wine from a high shelf. I was the nearest, so I handed it to her just to help.

QUESTION: I’m a medical student at a university requiring 85% attendance. Lecturers take attendance via a QR code scanned through an app, but majority of my classmates scan it from home without attending. Attending lectures consumes significant study time, so I’m considering doing the same to prioritize my learning while technically meeting attendance requirements.
