Q: I am a single mother (not divorced) living with my parents. I do not pay rent or utility bills, but I manage all other expenses for myself and my baby, including food, clothes, diapers, milk, etc.
The baby’s father sends a small amount (around 20,000 PKR) monthly — sometimes not even that.
I work from home and earn about 1.5 lakh PKR per month by helping university students write their assignments, reports, and research papers. I use tools like ChatGPT to generate answers and then rephrase the content using other software. I work very hard and honestly, but now I’m very worried: Is this income halal or haram in Islam?
I want to raise my son as a Hafiz-e-Quran and a good Muslim. I don’t want to feed him with haram money, but this is the only source of income I have right now. I am very stressed and confused. Please guide me according to Islamic teachings.
