What is the way out of the tribulation of financial hardship that the questioner is experiencing, despite his diligence in seeking what is lawful and his adherence to acts of worship and remembrance, especially after self-employment no longer suffices to meet his and his family’s needs?

We advise seeking a permissible job, knowing that working in law is permissible, provided injustice and violation of Islamic law are avoided. It is legitimate if it is for establishing truth, refuting falsehood, and aiding the oppressed. If the wife desires to work in a permissible job free from Islamic violations, there is no objection to permitting her.
