He had four kids including me and he spent his money on our education and other necessities. In 2001 his job finished and he moved back to Pakistan. The gratuity he received plus some of the plots in Pakistan helped him buy a house and get his two daughters and two sons married. With no source of income initially he put his money in bank but withdrew it because of fear of interest and invested it in some car business where he was cheated badly! Somehow he managed to get some of his money back and thought to invest into something else but not some bank account on profit and loss basis. He then invested in property business and bought a plot which again proved to be a hard luck because after buying that plot all his money was stuck with that plot and he found out that again somebody had trapped him and some other party also claims to be the owner of that very same plot! And he again is stuck into another law suit.For quiet a while now he was trying to approach some good scholar who could further advice him as to what he should do in such a scene, when he has a wife to take care of and a house to run. His wife, my mom, is sick since a long period of time, and her monthly medicines are quiet expensive too. The two sons he has are both doctors but still in completing education period and have very less pays (you know how they pay in Govt hospitals to trainees!) in which they can hardly afford their wives. So with no proper source of income and an age of 64 he cannot go for some labour job as well, he tried to do business with that money twice but both times he was being cheated, and with sons not able to support him as well what do you suggest sir? And besides that would it still be ḥarām for him to put his money in some bank on profit and loss basis? Because I being his daughter when see him and my mother suffer at this age and in such condition I ask him to put his money in some bank but he wouldn't listen and says this is ḥarām, I never earned ḥarām all my life how could I do this now. But sir would it still be ḥarām when he has no other choice to return back to Dubai and get some small business started there? And so many cheaters ready to grab ones money sitting out in Pakistan? What are elderly people like him supposed to do? My question is of course mainly for my own father but there must be so many like him who returned back and lost all they had, including their health too.
