Q: I have a contract with a teacher. She said that she will teach me 5 days a week (20 days in a month) for 1 hour on video call and I have to give her 160 riyals. But she taught me only 7 days in the month and less than half hour, not video call just sending voice recording on WhatsApp.
Can I give her less money, only 100 riyal for 7 days. She is asking 160 riyal claiming that the days I did not teach you, you can revise what I thaught you before.

Q: I worked for a certain company for 9 months. My boss once came to me, started swearing me and chased me from the shop. I opened a case against him and we went to court.

Q: I have a part time maid working at my house. I have fixed a monthly salary with her agreement. I don't cut her pay if she takes off if she is sick or if I don't call her for a day or two. But if she travels for 2 months to meet her family, am I obliged to pay her for those months or not, we don't have any contract and she travels on her own expenses. Are there any other rules of shariah related to part time help that we should know of? She attends to three different homes daily.
Q: I used to work in my uncle's school as finance manager 8 years ago. I was basically all in all in that school. I had teachers in that school on
contract mentioning three months job termination period. School was in loss and I had to sell the school, all teachers lost job because new owner didn't hire them. I could pay only one month notice period and current month salary to the contract holder teachers. The teachers without renewed contract or teachers passing probation period but without new contract got only current month salary. Now I feel I should have paid complete three months notice period but I didn't have funds at that time. Now I am in a position to pay them but I lost their contact numbers plus I don't remember the actual amount of the different teachers. At that time what I got from the sale, I paid all to the staff and one PDC cheque I gave to my uncle and went back to my city to restart my career. What should I do?
