Husband obliged to provide for wife and children and care for them
I am a Christian woman who married a Muslim man in an Islamic marriage ceremony.

Eating from money which guardian usurped
Assalaamu alaykum. May Allah reward you for answering my question about the haram income of a guardian.

Claiming that mother or wife are entitled to man's income is false
Assalaamu alaykum, Sir. There is a belief in some Muslim families in India that the son's income should completely go to his mother or wife. Then whenever he needs anything, he should ask it from them, and thus they manage the family. They got this belief from the Hindus, and I really hate it. My mother believes it too, and my grandma said that she.. More
