I know that, using youtube for spreading islam(e.g. explaining islamic topics properly) is halal and even encouraged by some. But can I take it as a profession? Note that I would upload halal content only but the videos would most probably not spread islam(I think). Let me explain in more details: I have some ideas which I want to implement. Can i showcase these ideas and upload them on youtube? My contents would be similar to Mark Rober or Colin Furze(ckeck the out on yt if don't know them yet). I would earn my money by google ads, taking sponsorship from various companies and maybe by selling some products of my own. Note that my goal would be to upload content that will get the most views (meaning I will try my best to get more views) while not doing anything that would go agianst the shareeah. I read a hadeeth once that told us to not be famous( I can't remember the exact hadeeth and I don't know if it is sahih or not) But by trying to get more views i am trying to be more famous which contradicts with the hadeeth. So, is this profession( and goals) permissible for me?

Is it permissible to pursue a career in pastry and baking, if it might involve using alcohol while learning in class?

It's long been my dream to be a pastry chef. I haven't told my parents yet, but I recently told my older brother. He respected my interests, but he doesn't completely welcome the idea.
He pointed out that pastry includes working with alcohol (certain recipes ask for a dash of wine etc). I am fully aware of this, but of course, I do not intend to use alcoholic substances in any form if ever I decide to pursue a career in pastry and baking.
So my exact question is: is it possible to pursue pastry, even though I will sometimes have to use alcohol while learning in class? (Whenever possible, I will certainly use a substitute ingredient)

I was wondering about the Islamic ruling for writing fiction? If the author is talented and has a flair for writing fiction/stories, does Islam consider that as haraam? I would like to have the answer with regards to the following genres:
1. Suspense thrillers, slashers, detective stories, etc.
2. Stories that are based on reality like historical incidents.
3. Stories that are not based on historical incidents, but still teach some (Islamic) moral lesson.
Of course, this question only makes sense (Islamically) to be asked and answered if the stories do not contain indecencies or anything that clearly goes against Islam, like paranormal stuff and so on.

**If a Muslim can be actor, is there anything about acting that a Muslim must avoid to do?**
Can males and females act in the same stage together? In what situations they're allowed and in what situations they aren't?
Can a Muslim practice blasphemy while acting for his character does? Can he act as a person of other religion? If this is possible, a Muslim woman can leave the hijab to play her role?

If the main purpose of life is to worship Allah why should you choose a secular profession like being a lawyer.
Why shouldn't you become a nurse, doctor, biologist, a teacher or an Imam instead? Those are all professions where you can directly execute the tasks Allah loves and you even paid get for it.
As a nurse you take care of sick or elderly people and as a doctor you cure sick people. What could there be anything better you could do for your deen?
As a biologist you learn about the creation of Allah.
As a teacher you teach people which is highly respected in Islam.
