Answer
When financial circumstances become constraint, we are required to decrease our spending and live within our means. We are not allowed to get involved in Haraam merely because the cost of living is rising, and we cannot keep up with it.
No matter what you are earning, consider that many survive on much less than that. You too can do so. All it requires to sacrifice the many luxuries we generally have in our lives. The attitude of a Muslim should be, 'I rather die than get involved in Haraam.'

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
