Do you have any contacts where we could purchace Alim books. My friend is studying with a shaikh-ul-hadith, and has found a hard time locating books, specifically for the last year of his sudies. He likes the large indian-style kitaabs, with the hashia on the sides of the page. Do you have any such places in S. africa (or anywhere esle), where we can order the kitaabs. The madressas in the US sometimes sell the books at a high cost, and also take a long time to order.

Is home or car insurance halal? In the US it is illegal to have no car insurance – I have the minimum insurance.
Is 401K investment halal. My company matches up to 2% of my salary (of what I contribute)
