the same after even working for so many years, etc., whereas the demands children make are in addition to them. When a husband listens to the demands and taunts quite often, he suffers mental torture and disappointment. He does not get what he should do. Since he has to fulfil the demands of his wife and children, but he has limited resources, he uses impermissible means of earnings to fulfil their permissible and impermissible demands without caring for Halal and Haram and by doing this he risks putting his grave and Hereafter at stake.

2. Carelessness about Halal and Haraam

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ has narrated that the Beloved Rasool
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, يَاْتِى عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ،لاَ يُبَالِى الْمَرْءُ مَا اَخَذَ مِنْهُ اَمِنَ الْحَلاَلِ اَمْ مِنَ الْحَرَام         ‘A time will come upon people when man will not care at all about how he has gained (wealth) whether by Haraam means or by Halal.’

They will get stuck badly in earning livelihood; they will care about accumulating and multiplying wealth; they will become fearless in taking every Haraam and Halal as is common these days.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 4, pp. 229)

Dear Islamic sisters! We should not make our household face problems and difficulties due to our taunts and unnecessary demands. We should rather be content on whatever is available to us and we should observe patience and gratitude. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, we will be successful in abstaining from the tricks of Satan and Nafs and our life will become further easier rather than getting difficult.
