Twice I notice this, once while reading the international news about this lady in India and her name was Allah. And again another guy from India and him too first name is Allah.

Is this only done in India?

Yesterday i went to visit a neighbor who's been in hospital since December last year! She became paralyzed from the waist down but doctors don't know why.

They transferred her to the Rehabilitation section of the hospital where we went to see her. As we entered we notice a severely disabled girl in the bed opposite her. When we inquired about her we heard the saddest of stories.

Our neighbor told us that the girl is actually 32yrs old! And has been in hospital since 1982! I realized that means she was 3 years old! She told us, that the lady's mum decided to commit suicide and take her children with her. The mum closed all the windows and doors, poured kerosene and light the match. This 32yr old is the only survivor.

At 3yrs old she was brought to the hospital with severe burns. She doesn't talk, can not walk and is mentally challenged. I had to stop myself from crying when i heard her story. No one came for her so the hospital stuff have become her family.

I live in Fiji islands a developing country, we don't have an institution that can look after her. So our government run hospital that is mostly free to the public looks after her.

Our neighbor told us that one day she sat with her and was talking to her. She said i didn't think she would understand what i said but i kept talking to her. She said, then she became sad, and said to the her, i've been unable to walk for just a few months and i can't take it anymore, how have u bin able to do this most of your life. She said as she that she startedcryingn and to her amazement so did the 32yr old.

la hawla walakuwata ilabillah.... may we be one who always be grateful to Allah Who gave us health and family.... Allahuma ameen..

Salaam,

My husband and i have been wanting to go for hajj for about 5years now. Slowly doing our savings. But now with the recession and our dollar so low it has become quite expensive to go for hajj. I'm from Fiji islands by the way. Living in our country if we want to go for hajj is will cost about $16,000 Fijian dollars per person!.

I had real hopes of going but when i saw our financial situation i realised that we could only afford just one of us to go. And my husband being the ever considerate never thought that i will not go with him. He always wanted to take me with him. And he never once thought of not taking me, he's thinking was if he wasn't able to take me then he will not go.

At first i was happy he felt that way but later i realised i was being selfish, i had to let him go and accept that i won't be able to go.

So i spoke to him and told him that if he wants he should go this year for hajj as he's been able to collect enough. I told him we don't know what the future holds and at least his father is still alive to look after their animal stock while he goes for hajj for if his father passes away we are left with no one reliable and trust worthy. Thus, if that happens he won't be able to go for hajj.

I'm at my parents place for a visit when he txt me saying that he'll be going for hajj this year. I was happy for him alhamduillah but then found myself in deep sadness that i wasn't going with him and began to cry. I thought i was ok with this but realised i really wasn't.

I guess i'm writting all this coz i just need some words of encouragement from my muslim brothers and sisters.

Thanks.

Al-Nasaa’i (728) and Ibn Maajah (762) narrated from Anas that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw some sputum in the qiblah of the mosque and he got so angry that his face turned red. Then a woman from among the Ansaar came and scratched it and put some perfume in that place. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “What a good deed this is.” This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i and Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

Here in Fiji islands, the hindus invite their non hindu friends and neighbors to their place at night for sweets and dinner. Is it the same in india?

Example:

What to avoid eating?

What foods are best to eat?

And any other helpful suggestions.

Thank you

Thanks.

Unfortunately, women are not allowed to pray here in Fiji.

And if they do, how?

I never knew about them till i joined Yahoo Answers.

Sadly i've seen many muslimah do this.

I just read one user write that he/she only prays during Ramadan. What do you think of this?

Here in Fiji islands, its getting cooler Alhamduillah. And fajr is at 5:30am! And esha just after 7! Masha Allah.

My favourite is this one:

The Prophet peace be upon him said:

Allah says,

'I am just as My slave thinks i am, (i.e. I am Able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him)

And I am with him if he remembers Me.

If he remembers Me in himself, I too remember him in Myself;

And if he remembers Me in a group of people,

I remember him in a group that is better than them;

And if he comes one span nearer to Me,

I go one cubit nearer to him;

And if he comes one cubit nearer to Me,

I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him;

And if he comes to Me walking,

I go to him running.'

[Sahih Al~Bukhari]

Subhab Allah :)

Question:

I did not fast some days in Ramadaan because of my period. This happened a few years ago, and I have not fasted these days until now. What do I have to do?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

The imams are agreed that whoever does not fast some days of Ramadaan has to make up those days before the next Ramadaan comes.

They quoted as evidence for that the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari (1950) and Muslim (1146) from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: “I used to have fasts that I still owed from Ramadaan, and I could not make them up until Sha’baan, and that was because of the position of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) [as a husband].”

Al-Haafiz said:

It may be understood from her keenness to fast them in Sha’baan that it is not permissible to delay making up fasts until the next Ramadaan begins.

If a person delays making up fasts until Ramadaan begins, one of the following two scenarios must apply.

1 – The delay is for a reason, such as being sick and the sickness lasting until the following Ramadaan begins. There is no sin on a person for delaying in this case, because he has an excuse, and he only has to make up the days missed. So he should make up the number of days that he did not fast.

2 – There is no reason for the delay, such as when a person was able to make up the fasts but he did not do so before the following Ramadaan began.

This person is sinning by failing to make up the fasts with no excuse. The imams are agreed that he must make up the fasts, but they differed as to whether along with making up the fasts he must also feed one poor person for each day or not.

Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and Ahmad said that he must feed a poor person, and they quoted as evidence for that the reports narrated from some of the Sahaabah such as Abu Hurayrah and Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them).

Imam Abu Haneefah (may Allaah have mercy on him) was of the view that he does not have to feed a poor person as well as making up the fasts.

He quoted as evidence the fact that Allaah commands the one who does not fast in Ramadaan only to make up the missed fasts, and He did not mention feeding a poor person. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days”

[al-Baqarah 2:185]

See al-Majmoo’, 6/366; al-Mughni, 4/400

This second view was also favoured by Imam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him). He said in his Saheeh:

Ibraaheem (i.e., al-Nakha’i) said: If a person neglects (to make up missed fasts) until the next Ramadaan comes, he should fast the missed days of both months. But he did not think that he has to feed a poor person. There was also a mursal report from Abu Hurayrah and Ibn ‘Abbaas which says that he should also feed a poor person. Then al-Bukhaari said: But Allaah does not mention feeding a poor person, rather He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“…the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days”

[al-Baqarah 2:185]

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, when noting that it is not obligatory to feed a poor person:

With regard to the words of the Sahaabah, their use as evidence is subject to further discussion if it goes against the apparent meaning of the Qur’aan. In this case, saying that it is obligatory to feed a poor person goes against the apparent meaning of the Qur’aan, because Allaah only enjoined making up the same number from other days, and He did not mention more than that. Based on this, we should not oblige the slaves of Allaah to do any more than they need to fulfil their duty. But what was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas and Abu Hurayrah may be interpreted as referring to what is mustahabb, not what is obligatory. The correct view with regard to this issue is that a person does not have to do anything more than making up the missed fasts, but he is sinning if he delays doing so.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 6/451.

Based on this, then what is obligatory is to make up the fasts only, but if a person wants to be on the safe side and feed one poor person for each day missed, then that is good.

The woman who asked this question – if she delayed making up the fasts with no excuse, has to repent to Allaah and resolve not to repeat this mistake in the future.

And Allaah is the One Whom we ask to help us to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.

And Allaah knows best.
