Title: Assalamualikum Mufti Sb., I want to know is it permissible in Islam, my friend to appointed to his wife in the Purchasing Job. Actually he is working in Gulf and his wife also working in Gulf along with me. My friend salary is lesser while comparing his wife salary (she is getting more than double salary while comparing his husband salary). In our company work assignment given to her Purchasing Building related materials. She was in the situation to talk every Ghair Maharam because she need to talk to vendor for enquiry sent, Price negotiate with vendor to place the order and apart from that she is talking with Site people with regarding material related clarification / issues. The issue is, my friend having one month vacation period once in a Year, so he bring his wife from India to Gulf. In Gulf House rent is also very high, so he is not earning enough salary to stay with his wife but his wife getting enough Home rent allowance also. 1. So I want know is it permissible to my friend to send his wife to earn money in the above condition, because I am monitoring about her job. I feel is it not permissible in Islam. 2. Can I speck with my friend about her wife job, if Yes, kindly suggest me how can I speck with him because I can?t speak directly with him as it was family related issues.
