Working in the banking/financial services industry and looking for a better job
Q: I just want some advice regarding my predicament and also to request your Duas that Allah takes me out of this situation. I have been working in the banking/financial services industry for the last 11 years and at first did not realise that it was wrong but, in the last 6 years or so have been trying very hard to get out but to no avail. I have applied for many hundreds of jobs and I always make Taubah. I used to contribute in Allah's course but now I am scared to. I want to go for Umrah and Hajj but am worried that I will be sinning by doing so. I try to spend on my family within my capacity but always end up feeling depressed as I know where the money is coming from. What can I do to improve my chances of getting a better source of income?

Extortion and Bribery
Q: As you answered us that "In Islam, the tenant occupies the premises (house or property) in exchange of the rent that he pays. As long as the tenant pays the stipulated rent, he is worthy of occupying the premises. When the lease ends and he is asked to leave the premises, then he is under obligation to leave. In Shariah he is not worthy of receiving any compensation in order to leave the property he was renting. Hence, in Islam the money that is being demanded as a compensation to vacate the property (which was being rented) is extortion, hence it is impermissible." and the question was "My question is regarding Gift or compensation. My grandfather lives in house as a tenant about 50 years. He died about 15 years ago. Now we recieve rs 15 lakhs as compensation to leave the house or evict the house. Now question arises that My grndfather have 4 sons, 1 daugter and a wife. How this will be distributed? Kindly note that the 2 sons have there own house & 2 sons do not have there own house property and a sisters financial condition is also not good." The final question is the concerned person has given the money happily to vacate the house for rehab. Now then how it is to be divided?
