Q.My uncle worked for NIT and then for National Bank of Pakistan till his retirement with a golden handshake. All of his life he worked for these groups by his own will and never tried to get another job to avoid riba related activities. Now he has given me some amount from his assets. Is that amount halal for me to take and spent on my family?

A.As it is known that these gifts were from income that was not of permissible sources, it is not permissible to accept these gifts. If they have been accepted they should be given in charity.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.

Assalamu Alaykum, I am looking to attend university in September and was recently told by someone that taking out a tuition fee loan is Haraam. I looked into this on their website and found that after the first year of study the Student Loans company add interest as well as inflation. With the recent increase in university fees to £9000 per year, I would find it difficult to pay this off without actually taking out the loan. I have also looked into working part time while at university but this still wouldn’t cover it. I have asked several people who have already been through the system about what they have done and all of them have said that they have taken the loan out. I would appreciate if you clear this matter up for me. Shukran Jazakallah
