I belong to a decent and well-educated family, but I am a failure in my family. I never had a proper job, nor did I really achieve anything. Anyway, I started trading while I was also working a job. I thought this was a way to earn money, and that one day I would prove myself in front of everyone. In the beginning, I was living a very happy life. I had everything. I bought a new mobile phone, a PC, and other things with the money I earned from this. But slowly, this thing turned into an addiction for me. And today, my situation is that there is not even a single person around me whose money I don't owe. I have money owed to loan apps, I have lost my job, and I have lied to every member of my family for money. I have even st++en my father's money. May Allah give him a long life. He never confronted me about it, but now my life has nothing left except guilt, shame, and worry. I want to d++, but d++th doesn't come. At night, I go to sleep thinking that maybe I won't wake up in the morning, but then I still wake up

I have two children from my previous marriage, aged 10 and 8. I was married to their father for many years. During our marriage, he often said that he was only able to earn a small salary, which basically covered the rent, and there were also periods when he was unemployed. As a result, I was the main provider for the children and worked full-time. After our divorce, he moved away to work in another country. He pays a fixed amount of maintenance each month, which mainly covers the children's food, and he also pays for their transport. However, when he visits the children, he is able to spend money on takeaways, toys, and other extras. At the same time, he refuses to contribute towards necessary expenses such as medical treatment, glasses, clothing, and other essential needs, saying that he will not pay anything beyond the fixed maintenance amount. I am now remarried, and my current husband provides for our household and treats the children with kindness and care. My question is: What is the Islamic ruling regarding the biological father's financial responsibility towards his children? Is he Islamically responsible for reasonable necessary expenses according to his financial ability? And does spending on luxuries while refusing essential needs affect the ruling?

I wanted to seek your guidance regarding the Islamic position on parents distributing their assets and property among their children during their lifetime and how this differs from inheritance after their death. We are three siblings — one brother and two sisters. Both sisters are married and, Alhamdulillah, well settled. At the time of our marriages, our parents also gave us a considerable amount of gold and other gifts. Our brother is also married and currently lives with our parents, along with his wife, in our family home. The house and the land on which it stands have significant value. Our parents also own some additional land and property elsewhere. We wanted to understand what Islam says if, during their lifetime, our parents wish to give or gift the family house to our brother, while giving the two daughters some share from their other land or property. Are parents Islamically free to distribute or gift their property according to their own wishes while they are alive, or is there a particular proportion that should be followed between a son and daughters? Also, would the gold and other gifts given to the daughters at the time of their marriages be taken into consideration when deciding what should subsequently be given to each child? Finally, if the parents do not distribute some or all of their assets during their lifetime, how should the remaining house, land, and other assets be divided as inheritance after their death? We would appreciate guidance according to the Qur'an and Sunnah, particularly according to the Hanafi school if there are differences of opinion.

I'm 28, male, and the eldest of my siblings, so most of the responsibility is on me. I earn around 1 million PKR a month, but I have a loan of around 14 million and pay 5 lakh every month as the instalment. On top of that, I support my family, help my sister and some close relatives, and have my own rent, car, fuel and other expenses. I also spend quite a bit on weekends. Me and my friends often drive 300 to 400 km, explore different places, play snooker, eat out and just enjoy ourselves. I know I could save more by cutting this down, but I've been away from home for almost 8 years and if I just stay alone in my room, I genuinely feel very lonely and depressed. Going out with friends is one of the things that keeps me going. Now I want to get married, but I don't want to get married when I know I can't properly manage the responsibilities. I feel that would be unfair to the woman as well. I want my wife to live with me in the country where I work, but with this loan I'm not sure how I'll manage the wedding, gold, home and everything else. If I wait until the loan is finished, I'll probably be around 30. Is that too late to get married? The strange thing is that when I earned only 100k, I had decent savings. Now I earn almost 10 times more and have nothing saved. So I'm starting to realize that maybe the problem isn't my salary but my lifestyle and how I manage money. I might change jobs and earn 1.5 million or more, but if I can't save on 1 million, what's the point? What would you do if you were in my position? Wait two years, completely change my lifestyle, get married simply, or focus on increasing my income? I genuinely need some practical advice

Thirty is not too late to marry, but your timeline will keep slipping if your habits do not change. Earning more will not fix a spending pattern that scales up with every raise. You are using weekend spending to self-medicate loneliness, which leaves you trapped. Consider setting a strict, non-negotiable cash budget for your social life each month—keep seeing your friends, but choose local, lower-cost activities so you can pay down the debt faster.
