    Can we abort a baby if not doing so will lead to the death of the mother?

    Yes, it is permissible if one is certain that it will lead to her death.

    Did Imam Ali (peace be upon him) accept Abu Bakr as a caliph and give him his oath of allegiance after the martyrdom of Sayyida Fatima (peace be upon her)?

    He did not accept the caliphate, but he paid the allegiance to protect the religion.

    I work in a store as a cashier, and sometimes the customer pays more than the required amount and says, ‘keep the change.’ Can I take that extra money for myself?

    If you understand from the customer that the money is given to you personally, then you can keep it for yourself. But, if the customer’s intention was to give the extra cash for the store, or the employer stipulates that extra cash is the store’s, then you cannot take the cash.

    Is it permissible for me to give preference to practicing believers especially men having a beard and women observing hijab in respect of greeting, providing help and socializing and friendship (with the same gender)?

    It is recommended to greet all Muslims whether they were practicing or not. It is better to offer help to believers whether they were practicing or not. Also it is better to socialize with people in good manner with people who practice Islam and with the ones that do not. It appears in some of the narrations that the good behavior deserves great reward.
