Answer
1. One should refrain from using the actual place of the chipped utensil. (al-Durar al-Mubaaha fil Hazri wal Ibaahah pg.36; Damascus). The unchipped portion of the utensil may be used.
2. It will be of greater benefit to purchase items from Muslim owned companies. However, if no alternative exists, one may purchase items from companies owned by non-Muslims.
3. ‘Rabb laa tadhayniy fardan, wa anta khayrul waaritheen’ should be read excessively. Similarly, one should make a lot of Istighfaar.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
