Bismillah. This is a heart-breaking story. Please help, especially if you have access to Egyptian civic and religious authorities. I hope the UK Foreign Office are doing their best also, although politicians are distracted by the upcoming elections. Since Leila cannot work in Egypt, she will be eligible for zakat if she doesn’t have much money, as a stranded traveller. It seems that she has sold her home in Manchester to help pay the legal bills. Please read details of the case on the petition site (link below). The behaviour of Aishah’s father (Leila’s ex-husband) seems to be utterly shocking.
