Women working

Q: I want to marry a person. I love him. He before said he will not allow me to work after marriage so I refused marriage. He loves me so he said now he will allow me to work for my mama and for my own happiness. What if after marriage he will not allow me, so will he be sinful? Should I have to leave the job?

Taking out life insurance to save tax

Q: Here, in South Africa, when a person passes away, he has to pay 20% estate duty of his total estate to the government. Many a time, this amount runs into millions and is an extremely exorbitant amount to pay. I was recently advised by a colleague to take out life insurance so that upon my death, the policy payout will cover the estate duty. Please advise if doing this will be permissible.

Interest bearing loan

Q: I wanted to find out something regarding interest. I'm currently in an unstable financial situation, I find it very difficult to pay my expenses, I'm currently working and have tried many things to make additional income with no success. I've been working on a business plan and submitted to government, would it be permissible for me to take a loan from them? The loan will have interest payable.
