My ex-wife stole from me

Q: My ex wife was the most dishonest person I have ever met. Before I got married my sister said she saw her with another man. The wife at that time said Wallahi my sister was lying. Anyway I married her, in around 6 months she maid off with about £10,000. My point is if she did lie about cheating yes she sinned, but my point is I trusted her only because she took the oath. So in the next life does that mean she will owe me 10,000, the dowry was 5,000. With the lies she told me, I only stayed with her because I thought she was telling the truth, so how would I be compensated in the next life? Or  was it just my fault because I ignored my families concerns who refused to come to the nikah?

Job and salary problems

Q: My husband and I live in kuwait. We have financial problems. Whenever my husband gets a good job within days or month he either looses it or his salary is deducted. after hardship of one year he got a good job with good salary but after one month his boss deducted his salary and now he is getting again less. He is a very hardworker and intelligent but luck isn't favouring. We have three kids and hardly we can make our ends meet. Kindly suggest some dua so he gets a desired job with desired salary and our condition improves. We have much debts and hardly make ends meet.

My goats got stolen

Q: I have been rearing goats since 1992.I bought just two goats in 1992 and then they became 75 in 2013. I used to slaughter a male goat in the name of Allah after every 15 to 20 days. I sold many goats on every Eid. I enjoyed doing this business because it was the first business of our holy prophet peace be upon him. On the night of 30th June some men entered my premises at about 9.30 pm and they captured my chokidar and labour. They were at my farm all night.They called a big vehicle at about 1 pm and then took away my 50 goats. I am very depressed. Do you have any solution for me?

Husband and wife not being intimate for two years

Q: I want to know the validity of marriage if the husband and wife didn't have intercourse for 2 years. The husband is unable to do it with his wife. They both consulted  a doctor and medicine were given but still the husband doesn't show much interest and he doesn't take the medicine. The wife on the other hand started to feel depressed and alone. What is the wife's right and what she should do?

Marital issues

Q: I got married in the month of Decembber 2006. Thereafter two months I came to  know that my wife has been suffering from epilepsy. The fact that she is suffering from epilepsy was hidden during our marriage both by her parents and herself. I have all the medical records and evidences that she is suffering from epilepsy. On questioning, my wife and her mother responded negatively and their behavior was not cooperative. I went to many Muslim scholars to seek a solution and they all advised me to cooperate with her. God blessed me with a son and due to drugs/medication which my wife was taking had a reaction on son`s health and he was treated for a long time. Thanks to Allah that he gave health to my son. In all these years I faced many problems which now seems to me unbearable. I lost 60% of my business as I look after my son both like a mother and father. I never slapped my wife nor I showed rudeness but still she never co operated with me and never discussed her illness. Besides, the doctor has advised me not have any more children. I cannot go away from home for long hours. The situation becomes more worse when I fell ill. Besides, the behavior of her mother and brothers is very rude.They have put all their burden of her daughter on me. In these 6 to 7 years the things seems to be getting out of my hands. Please help me before I make some or any decision.

Parents bickering and arguing

Q: My parents are always bickering and arguing, talking about leaving each other, making a dull atmosphere in the house. I am 16 and I have two younger brothers of 13 and 6. They are happy at times and they will love each other. Is there any dua I can read to stop the arguing?

How to spend one's salary

Q: I would like to know if there is any guidelines in the shari'ah on how one should spend their money/salary. Someone told me that it was the advice of one of the ulama that your income/salary should be divided into 3 parts:

  1. Charity ie discharging zakaat, qurbani and spending on ones parents etc
  2. For your living essentials and spending.
  3. Savings

What is muftis opinion on the above? Also I would like to know if a person can stop doing the above with no valid reason?

Sending one's daughter to live with her uncles and aunts in Pakistan

Q: My daughter has a very bad behaviour. She is 12. I want to send her to Pakistan to her grandparents. Her aunties and uncles are there who read their 5 times salaah and observe pardah (what am saying is its an Islamic environment). Is it right for me to send her because I am the parent and its my duty as a mother, but she doesn't listen to me at all. I am scared she might end up going on the wrong path.
