The Hidden Cost of Doing Business with Family and Friends
Sometimes it's better to do business with strangers than with family and friends.
Strangers will happily pay for your services because they understand the value of what you offer. Family and friends, on the other hand, often expect discounts. You start feeling as though you owe them something simply because you know them.
But if we're truly family, why does that principle only work one way?
Why am I expected to reduce my price for you? Why not support my business by paying the same rate everyone else pays? Not moreโjust the same.
Then there's another reality.
You can sell something to a stranger, and even if it develops a fault later on, you rarely hear from them again. But sell the same item to a friend or relative, and if anything goes wrong after the sale, the first thought that crosses their mind is often, "He cheated me."
Never mind that it worked perfectly while it was in your possession. Never mind that you were honest about its condition. Suspicion often arrives before understanding.
So when I hear people say, "I'd rather do business with strangers than with family and friends," I understand exactly where they're coming from.

I recently came across this post on a muslim jobs group for sisters. I have not looked through every single internship, however it seemed like a good opportunity, particularly for younger brothers looking to get into work or gain some solid work experience during the summer.
(I am not certain it would be very suited for sisters as these seem to be mostly tech roles which are male dominant environments.)
I wished to share as my younger brother was struggling to find suitable work experience, so perhaps this may be of benefit to others in a similar situation.
There seems to also be linked on the website a muslim mentoring programme which allows young people to schedule a free 1:1 mentoring call with a Muslim professional in the career they wish to pursue, (I assume for advice and tips.)

The Ruling on Buying, Selling and Using Counterfeit Branded Products
May Allah reward you with goodness, our Shaykh. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on buying and selling counterfeit products, such as watches and clothing, which have the original company's name written on them? And if we purchased these items before knowing the ruling, what should we do with them?
As for selling counterfeit products, there are several matters that must be considered.
โช๏ธThe first matter concerns what is known as commercial rights.
The Islamic Fiqh Councils have issued fatwas stating that commercial rights and intellectual property rights are recognised and belong to their rightful owners. This includes trademarks, trade names and similar rights.
Therefore, if a product carries a trademark that is protected and registered to its owner or company, it is not permissible to imitate it without the permission of its owner, meaning the person who holds those rights.
Imitating it without the permission of the rights holder is not permissible according to Islamic law. It is also considered a criminal offence under today's commercial laws, and this does not contradict Islamic law.
โช๏ธThe second matter is to consider the laws and regulations of the country.
Suppose, for example, that the owner of a particular brand or product does not prohibit others from imitating it, and the product is not legally protected. However, we live in a country where the law prohibits counterfeiting and considers it a criminal offence, and the country's general regulations prohibit such practices.
In this case, it is not permissible.
This is because it is firmly established through clear and authentic textual evidence that obedience to the Muslim ruler is obligatory in matters that do not involve disobedience to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
This obligation becomes even more emphasised when the matter concerns public interests, making obedience even more obligatory.
However, this does not mean that obedience is not obligatory in matters unrelated to public interests. Rather, obedience to the Muslim ruler is obligatory as long as he does not command something that involves disobedience to Allah.
Nevertheless, when the matter concerns public interests and the regulation of affairs that benefit the people and the country, obedience becomes even more obligatory, provided it does not involve disobedience to Allah, the Exalted.
โช๏ธThe third matter we must consider is deceiving people.
Suppose, for example, that imitating a product is originally permissible because there are no protected rights attached to it.
We must then consider whether this imitation involves cheating or deceiving people. If it does, then it is prohibited.
[The Prophet ๏ทบ said:] "Whoever cheats is not from us."
For example, someone brings a product that has been made to look exactly like the original and sells it for half the price of the genuine product.
The original product might cost 100 riyals. So, he goes to China and has it copied for just three riyals. He then brings it to people and sells it for 50 riyals, telling them, "We have special discounts!"
This is prohibited, impermissible and sinful.
โ However, if the product is free from all these issues, then it is permissible.
In other words, suppose the product is free from everything we have mentioned: the original owner has not protected the product, the country's laws do not prohibit imitation, and people know that the product is a replica and not the genuine item.
In this case, selling it is permissible, but only with the conditions we have mentioned.
โช๏ธAs for the question: What should we do with the items we purchased before knowing the ruling?
Enjoy using them. They are lawful for you, and there is nothing preventing you from using them.
