Thierry. Posted January 26, 2008 I am sure most of you have heard about the classic Somali money saving scheme, the wife and husband claiming to be divorced, the wife on income/child benefit support and the husband working or on incapacity benefit. BBC radio said a couple of nights ago that the Turkish/Kurdish community are the biggest burden on the welfare system followed by you guessed it the Somalis. And while I agree that there are some people that genuinely need to be on welfare system there are many of us that can work or work in accordance to the nuclear family but who choose scavenge of the system. What is your take on the issue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Som@li Posted January 26, 2008 ^ so now you and the lazy girl are workin for them? how many infomers are here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umu zakaria Posted January 26, 2008 first of all this is ILLEGAL, UNISLAMIC and outright ******. The husband who declares divorce on his wife wether intensional or a lie for sole purpose of welfare, petty little cash begged from non muslims is a DAYUUS macal DAYUUS. How can such a sacred union between us be jeopordized and misused? :mad: The marriage is also nullified according to islamic scholars. What do we epect from kids, a whole generation raised with stolen money? they will never know good islamic values, they will grow up to be liars, theifs and hypocrites inta Illahay uga miciino ma ahane. It is sad. Illaahayoow xaqa idin tus. who ever is here in SOL who does this, shame on you and I hope u realise what ur in before it is too late. u also do not deserve to be a parent but I pray that Allah sw makes ur offsprings pious and honest beings.

Yaabka-Yaabkiis Posted January 26, 2008 wife on benefits+husband working, it is good if they are making money and have future goals like: investing, start business in africa, otherwise lets say london welfare system created Moral hazards it blocks ppl creativities, hardworking,progressiveness , it doesn't allow them to go out of their logic bubbling thinking and contribute to their future well-being.

Thierry. Posted January 26, 2008 Val you have a point London is very tough, it is one of the most expensive cities in the world and after your taxes are cut there is not much to go around for the family so I am very sympathetic for those that try to find loop holes in the system. But there are many Somalis out there who make very good money, many bus drivers for example take home plus £500 after tax a week, that’s usually more than most people earn a week. The question is when does it stop being a case of survival and become a case where your son and daughter can have the latest mobile and latest trainers every month. Dabshid working for who? Nice arguments I thought I was going to get “War Maxa afaarahas ku galiyay” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ismahaan Posted January 26, 2008 Islam does not approve of divorce on frivolous reasons. There must be a valid and considerable reason for an interruption of this sacred bond to occur. According to Islam the husband who declares divorce on his wife whether deliberate or a lie for lone purpose of benefit is against the Sharia law. This kind of act is prohibited.

Bisinka, Bisinka...Heedhe wax iskula har bal...Maata leesh saan? As for the topic, I don't think anyone enjoys collecting welfare...Everyone has his/her own reasons for collecting it, be it husband isn’t making enough to support his family, or one or both parents being illiterate to hold well paying jobs, and so forth...I know some abuse it above and beyond the meaning of the word 'abuse'...But if they can get away with it, shoooo I ain't mad at them... I wish I had the patience to sit around and wait for the welfare cheque to come at the end of the month, no way Jose... Believe it or not, I've seen some people who are having children just so they can receive more benefits...Kuma fikiraan how much time, money and energy it takes to raise a child, lacagta uun baa u cad...And at the end of the day, they are spending a lot more than they are receiving from benefits... :rolleyes: In all, the way I see it is that a parent has gotta do what a parent has got to do to provide for his/her child(ren)... PS, is telling the system you are no longer with your partner same as saying you're divorced? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Som@li Posted January 26, 2008 Theory, never mind my comment there, but this a broad day light theft ,it is unislamic, and should be stopped. Some of these pple save some these money for a trip to HAJJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacaylbaro Posted January 26, 2008 I think most of the Somalis living in the US and Europe are xaaraan quutayaal in the first place ,,,, what you get by lie is basically Haram ,,, Most of our people came to the west to claim horrible stories happened to their families and they are the only ones who survived and stuff like that ,,,,, it starts from there and no wonder it is promoting to the family thing now. Whoever says he divorced his wife ,,, truth or lie has officially divorced her ,,, that is the Islam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
