Halal . Haram . Mind

If someone says a matter is Halal and another source says it a Haram then how do I decide which one is right? Can I pick whichever seems more logical to my mind?

No one has a right to pick in Islamic rules whatever he feels more logical for him. We must obey Allah even if our thinking based on our limited knowledge does not digest it. The orders of Allah are taken from the Prophet (SAWA) and his Holy Progeny Ahlul Bayt (AS). You need to follow the most highest scholar ( Marje' of Taqleed) to seek guidance.

Bismillah,

If one knows that a product is fried with non-halal meat, then it would become najis (impure) and haram to eat. If one didn't know then there is no sin upon them.

Halal . Drawing . Sports

Is it permissible to engage with Halal activities throughout the day, such as drawing, watching videos that have nothing bad in them, playing sport and so on?

In principle yes, but we must keep in mind the importance of our time as our most important capital, and never waste our time in things which have no benefit for us in this life and hereafter.

Halal . God (Allah) . Employment

Are jobs and vocations which are Halal considered pleasing to Allah SWT no matter what they are, and are there certain jobs which are higher in merit than others?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

Earning a halal income is an act of worship and is pleasing to Allah swt. Yes, it is true that some jobs may also fit into different catergories too. For example a job which involves charity related work such as helping the needy people or orphans could fall under the category of mustahab jobs. You may then get jobs which fall under the category of makruh such as selling Kafans or working in a slaughterhouse. Such jobs although not haram, become makruh as a kafan seller may wish more people to die for sales to go up, and the one who slaughters animals for meat, may become used to such an action and cold hearted.

What one should be careful of is falling into a job which is in the haram category making ones income unlawful.

May Allah grant you success
