Is it obligatory to give Fitra for a man who is using his savings to meet his regular expenses because his earnings are not enough?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If one is financially incapable of paying zakat al-fitrah, even the bare minimum, they are exempted from it. 

If you do have savings though, and are able to pay, then you should, and if not at all, you are exempted.

And Allah knows best.

If a married man and a married woman start to like each other, is it permissible for them to divorce their current spouses and marry each other?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Married man and married woman are not allowed to do any thing or speak any word which can initiate an intimate feeling between them. Divorce is the most disliked allowed act by Allah. Married woman must protect herself from anything which can lead her to Haraam. Married man must also be careful that anything or word with a married woman is very dangerous and can lead to hellfire.

Why are men allowed to feel jealous over their wives, while a wife cannot feel jealous over her husband?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

I was hoping that one of sisters will answer this question but as did not see any reply I am answering briefly:

Jealousy of the wife over her husband can be against the rule of Allah Who allowed the man under certain conditions to have another wife. Jealousy against a rule from Allah is direct or indirect objection on Allah's rule, that is why it is bad.
Jealousy of man over his wife is against any relation between his wife and any other man, which is always a sinful act because she is a married woman and never allowed any act or word which can initiate a relation with another man. Husband's jealousy over his wife (without false allegations) is good to protect her and the whole family from a sinful act. You can then compare between a jealousy going against Allah;s rule and a Jealousy to protect the wife and the family from a sinful act.

'Wassalam.
