I am working abroad in l government sector and before, I was under my father’s sponsorship. Now, i changed my sponsorship under my job. My husband is working in private and not getting housing allowance. I heard, in this case, i “deserve” and have the right to apply for housing allowance for myself. But, I am still staying with my father’s family. So i am not staying in a separate house but I pay for electricity and water every month. I want to know is it allowed for me to take housing allowance from my job? The amount of housing allowance is fixed for the staff.
Please note that the only condition they put is, my husband cant receive housing allowance from his job which i have to update each year. And my office don’t require any documents from me like which house I am renting, house number etc.
Also, some staff apply and get ticket allowance every year even if they dont travel. They tell me it’s allowed.
I asked a sheikh in this country and he said, it’s halal for me.
