What is the ruling regarding cross contamination between Halal food, such as a steak, and any Haram seafood? Is it allowed to have the Halal food cooked from utensils that were used for the Haram seafood?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Haraam sea food is not allowed to be eaten but it is not Najis, that is why, Halal food cooked in utensils that were used for Haraam seafood is allowed.

This is only for the non Halal seafood because it is not Najis, otherwise, every non Halal food like meat, chicken etc is Najis and utensils used in cooking it become Najis and must be made Taahir before we can use it in cooking.

It is good to mention that non Halal seafood includes every seafood except scaled fishes and prawns.

In South Africa there are some misinformed Christians who boycott Halal meat thinking it has been slaughtered in the name of a foreign god. To counter this situation can we say "In the name of the God of Prophet Ibrahim" instead of "In the name of Allah"?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes we can say that because the God of Prophet Ibrahim is none but Allah.

What is my responsibility with money received from my husband who earned it, having been denied regular jobs, while working in a supermarket that sold Haram items as well?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Usually, supermarkets in non Muslim countries sell variety of items which are either allowed or Haraam. The money earned from selling the Haraam items is not permissible while money earned from selling Halal items is allowed. Try to know the ratio of it as much as you can.

You need to avoid using the Haram part of the money as much as you can.
