Aasalamu’alaykum, I am really worried right now and need some guidance please. Myself and my two year old daughter have been living away. My daughter has never permanently lived with her dad due to personal issues and husband couldn’t financially provide a house other than his parents home. So I have been staying at my parents. Now, after a real struggle we are planning to rent a property. We did all the application before time but now being told we’ll get the keys in Muharram. It’s not in our hands as there are tenants already living in the property at the moment. So my husband is saying, let’s not move in on 15th August but let’s wait and move in after soyum (12th Muharram). We will do a small majlis in the house in respect of Muharram. However, we have a lot of kitchen stuff and home household stuff that are new and have never been used. We would need to use these in order to live in that house. My daughter would need a bed for her room and if I buy it now but delivery will happen in Muharram and we won’t be getting our keys to the property earlier. I don’t know how to manage, what to do? Please help. How do I run a house without opening all the new stuff like pots and pans. Storage boxes, vacuum cleaner and steam mop. I have a young child. She has all her life lived with my parents, in a house full of people. Now moving to a house, where I can’t open any of her toys and make the house adjustable to keep her busy due to Muharram. How do I manage? She’s too small to understand. I feel she won’t adjust living alone with me and her daddy. She might get depressed and this might affect her personality. Please help and give me some advice.
