I live with my parents in UAE and I earn 2200 AED. My dad can’t work heavy work due to illness. So, he does a small job like dropping staff to office and to home, which is not a permanent job. I think ,UAE doesn’t allow like this kind of work because his visa is not of this work. His sponsoring company doesn’t have work for him. We have put visa from them just to make his stay in UAE legal. Is this work halal?
