A man whose wife works and has a salary, while he is studying, and they live in the house of the husband's father and his family, whose expenses come from usurious money: what should this woman do?

The questioner : One of them asks a question: he is married to a woman, and his wife works, meaning she is employed and receives a salary, which is just enough to cover their needs. He is studying and learning, and they are living in the house of this husband's father... And we ask Allah for pardon. They say that his family's problem is that they spend from the profit generated by riba.

The Shaykh : You are still saying "profit."

The questioner : I seek refuge in Allah. This is how we are accustomed to speaking here.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you.

The questioner : On riba.

The Shaykh : No, no, turn to Allah.

The questioner : O Allah, turn to us.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : So he asked, "What is to be done? She is confused now. She is, praise be to Allah, a believer and fearful. Should she stay, or should she go out to her own family? What is the situation? And since she is under his authority and he is responsible for her, meaning..."

The Shaykh : She should be gentle with him and try to live on her own, even if it is at her own expense, if she truly wants to save herself from consuming haram money.

The questioner : Yes, and if she cannot do that,

The Shaykh : If she cannot, Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. She should only speak with her husband to make his best effort to purify his sustenance.

The questioner : Okay.
