This is because dignity and  security are two important aspects of life of every human being and  without them even our religious life can be affected. <\/p>\n<p>It  will be up to the individual to judge whether the above-mentioned  exception to the rule is applicable to his\/her situation. This can be  done only after a reasonable study of other available options and if  needed after consultation with financial experts. In any case, while  benefitting from this permission reasonable effort should be made to  take advantage of the possible opportunities, as and when they emerge,  in order to abide by the rules of Shar\u012b\u2018ah. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-28<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6866\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assal\u0101m o \u2018alaykum,<\/p>\n<div>My  name is Elahi bakhsh Awan.
