The answer to your question is as follows:

It is permissible to buy a car in installments but it should be kept in mind that the total price of the item should be fixed at the time of purchase and nothing extra should be charged due to delay in payment of any installment. However, this condition is not met in today’s banking system, so it is not permissible to buy from banks on installment.

وإذا عقد العقد على أنه إلى أجل كذا بكذا وبالنقد بكذا، أو قال: إلى شهر بكذا أو إلى شهرين بكذا فهو فاسد؛ لأنه لم يعاطه على ثمن معلوم؛ ولنهي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن شرطين في بيع، وهذا هو تفسير الشرطين في بيع، ومطلق النهي يوجب الفساد في العقود الشرعية، وهذا إذا افترقا على هذا، فإن كان يتراضيان بينهما ولم يتفرقا حتى قاطعه على ثمن معلوم، وأتما العقد عليه فهو جائز؛ لأنهما ما افترقا إلا بعد تمام شرط صحة العقد".

The answer to your question is as follows:

Blood donattion is allowed but taking charge is not allowed.

If a patient is in critical condition and there is no option left except for blood transfusion then it is allowed to donate blood only as much as required. But the donor is not allowed to charge the patient for it. Moreover, donating organs of human beings is not allowed. It must be noted that all the organs of a human being are in full possession of Allah (swt) and they are not in his/her ownership in order that he/she can treat with them as they like. Human beings have no right to utilise them in accordance with his free will.

The answer to your question is as follows:

The world we live in is a house of material resources; we all are forced to take help from one another, without one another's help the system of this world cannot run, obviously this kind of help seeking will not be called Shirk. However, the help that is specific to Allah, i.e. asking someone for help in matters that do not come under worldly causes, considering someone to be omnipotent and supreme, is special attribute of Allah. Regarding the matters of the hereafter or the issues of this world which are only in the control of Allah, if a person considers an angel, a prophet, a saint or a human being as omnipotent and sovereign as Allah Almighty, and asks the same for help in needs then it is considered shirk.

قال اللہ تعالی: وَلَا تَدْعُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰہِ مَا لَا یَنْفَعُکَ وَلَا یَضُرُّکَ فَاِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَاِنَّکَ اِذًا مِنَ الظَّالِمِیْنَ․ (سورہٴ یونس آیت: ۱۰۶)، لَہُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَالَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِہِ (سورہٴ رعد آیت: ۱۴)

The answer to your question is as follows:

Crows are of two types. A crow that lives in residential areas and is seen on houses which catches the bread with its claws and also puts its mouth in the dirt, this type of crow is haram. However, the crow which is found in forests and farms, and feeds on the grain is halal. Maulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi has quoted this from the books of Fatwa and it is not his own fatwa. In addition, the Shari'ah way of recognizing halal and haram birds is that the birds which employ claws to hunt other small birds, such as hawks, kites, eagles, etc., are haram. And others are halal.

أَن النَّبِي صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم نهى عَن كل ذِي نَاب من السبَاع، وَعَن كل ذِي مخلب من الطُّيُور (عمدۃ القاری، باب عسب الفحل 12/105)

 عن إبراهيم قال: كانوا يكرهون كل ذي مخلب من الطير وما أكل الجيف وبه نأخذ، فإن ما يأكل الجيف كالغداف والغراب الأبقع مستخبث طبعا، فأما الغراب الزرعي الذي يلتقط الحب مباح طيب، وإن كان الغراب بحيث يخلط فيأكل الجيف تارة والحب أخرى فقد روي عن أبي يوسف - رحمه الله تعالى - أنه يكره، وعن أبي حنيفة - رحمه الله تعالى - أنه لا بأس بأكله وهو الصحيح على قياس الدجاجة، كذا في المبسوط (الھندیۃ، الباب الثالث فی المتفرقات 5/290)
