Hazrat, forgive me if these questions have been asked before, I checked my folder I have for every answer you submit, but I couldn't find any reference, that I have asked these questions before. 1a) If your local bank offer you some money, or you request it as a token of good-will, or apology for poor service, and they give it without any pressure/deceit on your part is it HALAL, OR HARAM to accept? 1b) If Hanafi 'Ulema differ in this regard, and I decide to go for the opinion where I can accept it because the money will come in handy, is this considered following my desire, and in essence, I have committed hARAM? 2a) Is it true if someone is confronted with doubt about anything deeni related i.e. how many rakats he/she has performed, did he/she do no niyah for the fast he/she is keeping the next day, did he/she give this sadaqah last week etc – he can act on the dominate thought even if he's not 100%, and this will be sufficient, and if he/she did err, Insh'Allah…
