Q: I used to have a maid to whom I used to give a certain amount as sadqa every month. But now she has left the job and is badmouthing me infront of everybody. I am very upset by this. Can I stop giving her sadqa and give the amount to some other needy person?
Q: I was married before and have three kids from a previous nikaah. I am now married for 7 months and have no kids. I do all the house work, cook, clean, iron and it's taking a lot of strain one me. I don't have a helping hand and requested to my husband that help me get a helper even if it's 3 days in a week. He refused saying he does not dirty the house, my kids do and said he will never get me a helper. I asked him if was his biological kids make the house dirty would he not pay. He said he will pay if his kids dirty the house. His kids live with his ex-wife and Alhumdullillah he does everything for her and kids, which is the right thing to do. I am depressed because all I do is clean and cook and iron. I don't even have time to go to ta'leem. It's just a mess. Please advise if this is the right thing to say. Even if he doesn't get a helper for me, I will carry on this way but does it have or did he have to tell me in this manner?

Q: We have a Muslim lady worker. She comes and does the work and after finishing our work she goes to a nearby shop as a sales girl.

I mean if we ask her to buy our things will we be like sharing her sin of not wearing burqa and going out?
