Husband earning through working in an insurance company
Question
My problem is that my husband, though a very kind and gentleman, earns through insurance and mutual funds. I tried to convince him many times but he seems to be unmoved. I pray for him a lot but nothing seems to work. I am totally dependent on him financially. What should I do?
Answer
Make taubah and try and see if you can earn some wealth and let your food and expenses come out from the wealth that you have earned.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
