Q: I want to ask about my situation. I have 2 kids, one is 3.5 years old and the second is 2.5 years old. My wife's father has retired and my wife wants to work to support her parents, as she is their only child. But my opinion is that my in-laws have a property, 3 apartments other than the one they are residing in. I told my wife that she can work once the kids start school and have a proper routine. Right now my wife is working and my in-laws comes to our home in our absence to look after the kids.
The problem is that my wife gets very tired once she reaches home and is not able to get proper sleep because the kids don't have any routine. So shes not able to take care of me properly.
I need your advise as I'm in big time stress and developed a condition of high bp due to continuous stress.

Q: Zaid is in Dubai. Aslam, from Pakistan, is in need of some loan. Zaid does not have a foreign currency account in Pakistan, so when Zaid transfers 2000 dirhams to Aslam, Aslam receives Pakistani rupees equivalent to 2000 dirhams. After one year, the Pakistani rupee value has dropped, now will Aslam return the same amount 2000 dirhams or Pakistani rupees that he received a year back? Or should he return the rupees equivalent to current value of 2000 dirhams?
