Vegetarian . Haram . Food . Sin

Was it considered a sin for me to consume the vegetarian cheese sandwich if I had concerns about potential cross-contamination with Haram food at the restaurant?

No, it is not a sin to consume vegetarian food for any lawful reason. Those who claim that non vegetarian food is totally bad and don't consume it all, are doing sin because they denying Quranic verses to eat meat and the practices of the Prophet (SAWA) and his Ahlul Bayt (AS) who did eat meat.

Haram . Makruh . Shoes

Is it Haram, Makruh or recommended to wear black shoes?

Bismihi ta'ala

In general, it is said that wearing black is makruh, except for a cloak (aba'ah), a turban, and of course for mourning for Ahlul Bayt (a.s.).

We do have ahadith that censure wearing of black na'l (sandle/slipper, maybe even shoe), but some fuqaha, like A.U. Seyid Sistani does not confirm it being makruh.

In any case, it certainly is not haram.

You must refer to the view of your Marja' taqleed on this.

And Allah knows best.

Music . Haram . Hell

I do my 5 daily prayers, however I do listen to music and was wondering why people are saying it is Haram? I always do my best to read the Quran and fast during Ramadan as well. So would I be going to hell just for listening to music?

Islam is life does not mean only praying the 5 daily prayers and fasting during the month of Ramadhan, but include all our life like what to eat and what not to eat, what to drink, what not to drink, what to wear, what not to wear, what to listen to and what not to listen to. Real Muslim obeys Allah in every act in his/her life.

'Listening to sinful music is not permissible in Islam. Some persons like listening to such music despite the fact that it is not permissible. They should try their best to obey Allah rather than obeying their desires.
