Request:
Asalam o aliakum,
My 71 year old father is the sole earner of the family. My eldest brother, his wife and two kids are without income, whatever he invests in doesn’t work. They are dependent on my father. Then my second brother doesn’t stick to a job and whatever he earns, spends it outside the house. Recently we’ve gotten him engaged. He’s happy but doesn’t contribute financially to make matters easy for my parents. His in-laws-to-be are also a bit demanding. I also want to mention that this brother is also away from his religion. This whole situation is very upsetting for my parents. Please pray for my parents. I am sorry this is my third email with a new problem. It’s only because with you all, I have found someone who can pray for us and guide us on what to do, and help us be a better Muslim.
