Q: If a married woman wishes to move out with her husband to a separate home due to multiple reasons and does not wish to stay with her in-laws provided he is the only son, will he be held sinful?

Q: I want to ask if a working woman can give her salary to her parents without the permission of her husband and can the husband bind her to use her own money to fulfill her own expenses if she is not giving any part to her husband?

Q: Is it the husbands duty to provide for his wife? If so, what exactly is meant by provide? Does this include everything in the home?

Q: Is it wrong for a mother to seek some assistance from her sons, of which all three are working, even if her husband is working? My sons feel that I must first divorce my husband before they will help me or he must sell his car so he can have more money to maintain me. I only asked for R200 from each of them towards my medical costs. Please advise me if I am wrong in asking them for assistance.

Q: I would like to know if a husband in Islam is not financially capable of taking care of his wife and children. Does it become his parents responsibility to take care of their needs? Is it okay for man to marry a woman if he does not have a Job and he knows he can't support her? Would it then also be his parents responsibility to take care of them financially, even though he knew going into the marriage that he won't be able to support her?

Q: I have been married for seven years now. We had gotten married really young and from the beginning my husband was informed that I was my parents responsibility, and it has been seven years and he still refuses to Nafaka me. We fight about it all the time as I feel embarrassed to go around asking family members to assist me with financial needs. We have two kids and I perform all my duties as a mother and wife. I do not want to get divorced but I don't know what more to say to him as he refuses to nafaka me. Please advise me as to what I should do.

Q: I just have one question, could you please advise how should one's husband nafakah her?

Q: If a husband not working at the moment. He pays the bills and mortgage still. If  the wife wants to buy clothes for herself and kids, can she ask  her husband or must she use her own money which she earned from little a job but that money the wife wants to save for her kids future for Islamic studies. What must she do?

Q: My husband has some mustabah money which he earned from his job. My question is can I use that money as a loan from my husband without him knowing? I will give him back. Actually I am need of money but I cannot ask my husband because he is a very calculative man and I am sure he will never give me.
