I am born in islam and he is converted in islam and also is married but he knows much more about islam than me and help me in these issues. Lately we make a deal and I am afraid if I am doing the best for me and my religion or not? He said that he wanted to help my son and me so he promise me to send me every month almost nearly my monthly payment until I marry with someone and I so I have not to work much and spend more time with my son but maybe do a part time job.

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 748/695=B)

     

    Islam teaches us to have self-respect. One should eat from ones earning and avoid being indebted to others. When we are too weak too earn then in a state of emergency there is no wrong with accepting others? grants.

     

    By Sadqah if you mean zakah, you can receive it if you deserve. But, a woman should observe hijab and refrain chatting on internet with strangers.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
