Is it permissible to charge a fee/ rental for painting adverts on a wall?

Answer

According to the Shariah, a wall cannot be hired. It is not permissible to charge for placing an advert on a wall. If there is no rental to be paid, the adverts may be painted on the wall. However, it is permissible to charge for the labour and materials used for painting the advert.

Q Why is it haraam to join the interfaith movement, and why does one become a murtadd when participating in this movement?

A. The Interfaith movement has two cardinal articles of their faith which are:

(1) All religions and ideologies are on par – on the same level. No religion is superior to another religion. Thus, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, atheism and idolatry are on par with Islam according to the interfaith religion.

(2) No religion is the absolute truth. All religions are the products of the human mind. Thus, Islam too is not the absolute truth. It is the product of the mind of a human being.

Those who participate in the interfaith movement are therefore murtads regardless of whether they subscribe to the above items of kufr or not. They are just like a person who attends a Hindu function in a temple and sits in respect through an idolatrous ceremony. Whether he believes in the idols or not, his very presence and participation in the function and venue of shirk render him a murtad.
