visa

Q: Can I accept to take some of my wifes savings to bear all the visa expenses including residense, rent, etc. this year? I am married since 2 years. Me and my wife do job. She is a teacher in homeland. While I work abroad (middle east). I give pocket money to my wife every month, as well as food expense separately to my joint family. I get one month leave to visit my family in a year. Two times I brought my wife on visit visa in two years. This year I have plan to save some money and to buy some property in my homeland in future, hence not to invite my wife this time, but she agreed to pay all expenses on her own, which I didn't agree. As I don't feel comfortable to get any of her earnings, because of her talking many times that she strongly feels that, her earning is totally for her. On the other hand she taunts me many times that I don't save enough money to get some property. What should I do?

Q: My parents performed Ramzan Umrah in Hijri Year 1438. They wish to perform Ramzan Umrah in the next Hijri Year 1439 but the Saudi Government has levied SAR 2000 as additional visa fees.

Our travel agent has advised to prepare a new passport to avoid the visa fees. Is it permissible by the law of shariah?

Q: Is it ok for a computer programmer to work for companies like Visa, Master card, American express as a subcontractor? These companies are working to make transactions only.

Q: I am a 30 year old women, with a 3 year old daughter. I am currently looking to seek Khula. My husband is also my first cousin and I was very happy with my marriage, however he left me over 2 years ago due to the following reasons:

1. Before we got married I had over £50k saved up as I worked for 10 years. Our parents had agreed for us to speak over the phone to understand each other before the marriage in a few weeks time. I told him that I didn't have my own home or place to rent yet & to give me 3 months to buy or find a place to rent. He refused at the time and said that we should get married now. He also said that he would be able to buy a home for us as he had enough money from his family (they were extremely wealthy) and for me to not worry about it - this conversation happened several times. So we married a few weeks later. Note I spent close to £30k on marriage. I offered to use some of the money I had left for either rent or to buy a property & also use the money he had promised he had to get a place - however for the next 3-4 years he just kept promising and using excuses to delay getting any money. Then he left me 2 years ago on the day I raised the point again about us moving out (note my father wanted us to leave his home where we stayed after we got married) with one of his excuses being he can't buy a home and that we can't be together. He never looked back at me or even tried to keep in touch with his child. Countless times I even offered to rent a place out myself for us be he just didn't want to.

2. We lived at my parents home after we got married and got his Visa to come to the UK. We actually in total lived here for 4 years. I helped to also provide for my own family because my father was on an extremely low income and also was the eldest child so I supported my mother, father & 3 other siblings. I told him this that I would need to support them before we got married & never did he object to it during the course of our marriage. However when he left me he used this as another excuse that he was annoyed I used to provide/help my family financially.

3. Another point is that he left me after 3 months of getting his permanent stay in the UK. So I'm assuming the Visa was the reason for the marriage.

4. I always tried to be very supportive to my husband helping financially - for e,g when our child was born I brought everything. I never once questioned him or even asked for any money because I understood he was on a low income & whatever is mine is his. Since the day he left 2 years ago he never made contact again with me. I don't know where he lives, some family members do but they don't tell me. Based on above reasons that he didnt support me financially and still doesn't, left me and my child without proper valid reason over 2 years ago - please could you answer the following questions:

1. Am I within my rights to request for Khula?

2. As I don't know where he is? What does Islam say about this? And how should I approach Khula? I don't want any money from him - as I am capable of looking after myself and my child. I just want peace and want to move on. More recently I had a proposal from an already married man who wants to support me & my child. (I don't know him & not spoken to him but we live in a close community and he heard about my circumstances at a local mosque) - my parents were told of this proposal through friends. If I go ahead I don't want him to break up with his first wife. In fact I would want to live together as a family.

1. Does he need to get consent from his first wife if we were to do a Nikkah?

2. My parents told me about it but are refusing to the proposal because he's already married - Can I marry him without my parents consent?

Q: In the year 2014 one guy told me that I got a job abroad and the total cost of visa and air ticket and everything is rs.177 000 so he insisted to pay him and I paid him rs.177 000 and after the payment he ran away cheating me. Later on I came to know that I was cheated. I just want to know whether he will be punished on the day of judgement for cheating me and moreover by default he will be punished by Allah because he is a kafir. So kafir will be punished by Allah for not worshipping Allah. 

Q: I have question about divorce in Islam.

Is it haram in Islam if a husband divorces his wife because they live in different country and he can't bring the wife due to visa reason? My husband studies in Australia, and we have problem about bringing me to Australia. We have been living separately for 1,5 year. He said to me that he will divorce me if my Australian visa get rejected. He prefers divorce to visiting me if I can't get the visa this year. I want to know if this reason can be used to divorce a wife according to Islam?

Q: I have two questions:

1. My husband applied for British passport but since one year he got no reply. I applied after him but I got a British passport within two months. Please  tell us any dua to read.

2. My sister got married in march 2017 but her husband is not good. Now his father in law died. She is in Pakistan but her husband is not willing to bring her to the UK. Can you tell us any dua or surah to read for a happy married life and she will able to come here. 

Q: I live in UK. My husband is here on a spouse visa. He is not having any luck getting his passport back because he is facing appeal. Can you give me some dua to recite so he wins the appeal?

Q: My mom married someone who my mom brought to uk. When time came for his visa to be renewed my mom had two choice one to give him permanent or just extend. My mom wanted to give him just extended because she did not like his behaviour as it changed as he was already married as well. According to my mother he threatened her and said if you don't give me permanent visa I will tell everyone you married me as it was kept a secret. Also he said when you go back you watch what happens something along the lines. Due to the threats and pressure she applied for permanent visa but was very unsatisfied so she asked me to help her to collect his letter and destroy it. Which I did and due to destroying the letter he was deported as he had overstayed. Am I sinful as I just helped my mother. Now my mother does not speak to him for obvious reasons, there is no contact so if I had said something in anger to him am I sinful?

Q: I'm from Pakistan but living in Saudi Arabia Jeddah for work job purpose. My last employer terminated my contract 3 months ago. But gave the privilege to look for another job my last working day with notice period was 15 December. I found another job in last December and all necessary paperwork were done and my employer who was my visa sponsor as well gave me release documents and new employer took me under his sponsorship. After this I have an amount of around 8000 $ pending for my vacation settlement and 15 day of December on my last sponsor or employer. As per Saudi laws after transfer of sponsorship to new employer the settlement should Be done by old employer. Despite finalizing all legal documents my old employer stopped my final settlement cheuqe and my experience letter as well. It has been almost 1 month since I'm waiting for my settlement cheque as I have liabilities to pay but the employer not signing it for no reason. Please send me some strong wazifa I can recite or do so that my cheque is released as I didn't receive any single penny for the month of December 2016 or my one month vacation. Thanks for your advice.
