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?

Q: My father had been for Hajj over 10 years ago. At the time he had a very close friend who he had owed some money to. Before going for hajj, he went to his friend to pay off whatever money he owed him but his friend refused, saying go and enjoy your hajj, and being friends, he kept saying don't worry bout all of that now. So my dad went for his hajj, when he got back, a short time later, his friend past away in a car accident. My father is now older and is not working anymore due to his health , but because his friend never directly say don't pay me, its been worrying my father and so he decided to save up the money that he would have had to pay his friend and give it to his friend's son, who has no knowledge of this. After many months of saving, as he is now unemployed, he managed to save the money and was going to get the money sent to the son via a mutual friend within the week. Then within the weekend his house was burgled and the safe was stolen with the money in it. Does my father still have to save again and pay the money?
