Father wants him to work in co-ed environment
Assalamu alaykum. My father does not want me to work as a private tutor.

Taking father's permission before giving charity
Assalaamu alaykum. I give charity secretly. Partly because secret optional acts are better. Another reason is that if my parents come to know about my charity, I fear they will not let me give charity at all, especially my father. A few days ago, I helped one of my relatives by lending him some money. The situation was very urgent for him. My father.. More
