Hello po, 1st timer po ako.

This is the scenario: my friend is married in the Philippines. Her husband went o work in Riyadh as biomedical engr at King Fahd Medical City. Tapos naghiwalay sila, kasi according kay husband e di raw sila magkasundo. Prior to that, after their marriage, when he applied for Saudi, lahat ng papaers nya e Single status nilagay nya.
1. Husband recently converted to Islam, pwede ba syang mag-asawa uli  sa muslim although di pa annuled kasal nila and they are both christians nung kinasal sila?
2. Ano gagawin ng friend ko since single status nilagay ni husband, san sya pwedeng magreport?
3. Last week, when my friend called her husband sa mobile fon, girl ang nakasagot, and she claimed na wife daw sya ni friend's husband pero di sila kasal. Nawindang ang friend ko e gusto nyang ireport sa company ng husband nya. But she was advised na mahihirapan siya kasi Muslim na husband niya at pinapaboran daw ang mga muslims.
Please help...
Anyway, my friend is in Hong Kong...

hi mga sis, ask ko lang kung anung meat ang allowed sa saudi? bawal ba talaga ang baboy kahit saan?

[larlaanne]

^ sis bawal talaga ang pork anywhere in saudi arabia. chicken, beef, fish, lamp meron. sa UAE pwede ang pork.

[kutingpie]

^kasi sis, may inaapplyan si hubby dito sa pinas..magiging salesman daw ng mekeni products sa dammam..the offer was good and tempting but bothered kami kasi mekeni products are hotdogs, hams, in short mga pork. sabi ibebenta daw sa mga hotels..tapos si hubby din daw magdedeliver using the container van..parang napaka-fishy kasi eh and alam namin na bawal talaga. authorized daw sila na magbenta sa dammam but alam ko na very strict ang saudi about sa pork and alcohol..

salamat sis, mukang niloloko kami nung employer na yun ha..salamat ulit

[larlaanne]

^ baka naman may non pork products ang mekeni sis? ang alam ko bawal talaga ang pork sa saudi.

[kutingpie]

^sis, puro cold cuts and mga native delicacies such as tocino, longganisa then may humburger patties pa although puwedeng beef naman yun.

[larlaanne]

^ confirm nyo din sa agency sis.

[kutingpie]

^listed naman yung agency sa poea sis kaso natatakot talaga ako at baka kung ano mangyari kay hubby..makulong pa siya doon.

[jarira]

sis, bawal talaga ang pork dito. they consider it haram.

[kutingpie]

^ano sis yung 'haram'?

[jarira]

^Haram - (Arabic) Not lawful according to Islam. Engaging in an act that is Haram (i.e. eating food like pork, drinking alcohol, having sex outside of marriage)..

[kutingpie]

^thanks sis jarira

Hello! I would just like to ask some questions regarding "Family Status" in Saudi Arabia.  My husband will be working there and he will get us as soon ma approve ang IQAMA nya.  We have 3 kids and I have a daughter nung pagka dalaga ko.  Maisasama ba namin yung daughter ko even if hindi surname ng husband ko yung gamit nya? Or kelangan ma transfer under his surname yung daughter ko? Thank you and hoping for a reply.
