In Western countries, companies serve both oppressors and others. What is the ruling on the income generated from these companies? Can it be considered Halal by paying Khums, given that not all customers are oppressors?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Companies with mixed income (Lawful and unlawful income) should not be involved in killing or supporting killers of innocents or dealing with alcohol, pork, gambling etc. Working in such mixed income companies then is considered lawful.

What was the reason for Imam Ali (as)'s silence and abstention from using his sword when Lady Fatima (sa) was being oppressed and martyred? And, after her death, did he cooperate with her oppressors during their rule?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Ali (AS) did not use his sword against those attacked Lady Fatima (SA) because he was been ordered by the Prophet (SAWA) not to fight, as figh will ignite a civil war among the newly formed Muslim society which can lead to a collapse.

‘Imam Ali (AS) helped Muslims all the time even when his right was taken away by Saqeefa people, but he never gave allegiance to them nor did he pray with them as great Suni scholar (Al-Dhahabi admitted stating that Ali never prayed with Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman any Friday prayer nor any congregational prayer. (Siyar A'laam Annobalaa') by Al-Dhahabi.

How did the Prophet and his Household respond to their oppressors by words or actions? Did they just distance themselves from them or did they retaliate in any way?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) never retaliated from their oppressors but kept patience and tolerated for the sake of preserving Islam. By their great wisdom and patience, Ahlul Bayt (AS) could preserve Islamic teachings from evil rules who did not mind causing any damage to Islam and Muslims for getting or saving their chair.

Wassalam.
