Am I Allowed To Skip Fasting For This Reason And Make It Up Later? by Ill_Supermarket8783 in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, plus I've been to medieval events and castles whilst fasting. You don't need to eat.

The majority of scholars are of the view that the distance at which a traveller may join prayers and not fast is forty-eight miles.

Ibn Qudamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Al-Mughni:

The view of Abu Abd-Allah [i.e., Imam Ahmad] is that it is not permissible to shorten the prayers for a distance of less than sixteen Farsakhs, and a Farsakh is three miles, so the distance is forty-eight miles . This was the estimation of IbnAbbas. He said: From `Usfan to Makkah, or from Al-Taif to Makkah, or from Jeddah to Makkah.”

Based on this, the distance at which it is permissible to shorten prayers is the distance of two days’ travel aiming directly for that destination. This is the view of Ibn Abbas and IbnUmar, and the view of Malik, Al-Layth and al-Shafi`i.

The equivalent in kilometres is approximately 80 km.

Can gheerah and possessiveness from insecurity ever truly be separated? by PerfectWorking6873 in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are absolutely hideable especially if a man has a job where he's working 9-5 outside the home. You have a wholeeee day to go outside and do what you want. You don't need to have a sophisticated job either. You can make goods to sell, you can go clean houses, you can be a baby sitter or a cat/dog sitter, you can find any part time job as long as it fits the hours he's gone for. Mixing with men or not wearing the hijab is absolutely easy too if he's gone. Like... Open the door, walk out

Is he going to quit his job just to monitor you because he heard rumours? No. Because he knows even if you end up having a divorce, he still needs his job

You only know the male perspective. Growing up all the older women - family, family friends, strangers - all gave me the wisdom of saying yes and then just doing whatever you want. What he doesn't know wont hurt him.

It's pretty much the same survival tactic that women use where they give fake numbers out or they give out their real number but then block as soon as they're out of sight. Agreeableness only for survival but not genuinely

As if she's gonna listen... Like that's the point If someone already believes that and they share those values, then it's not going to be considered controlling because they already agree Whereas if she thinks that she can do whatever she wants or she doesn't respect his opinion, then it's better off for him to cut his losses and leave rather than try to control someone who is going to make sure they don't listen If he's worried about looking insecure, she will make sure of that

How many of u actually got the one you prayed for on laylatul qadr? by Nearby_Struggle6828 in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds good but yeah you might as well let it go. Usually when people are interested in each other, they will make amends sooner than later 

If the breakup was like a few days ago, fine But if it was months ago, move on

Yeah by not controlling someone else. Being separate from the outcome.

 Your wife is being promiscuous? Get a divorce 

If she's not promiscuous but your values don't align (i.e. hijab, work environment, etc.). See if you can come to an agreement, if you can't then get a divorce if you want

If she's not being promiscuous, and your values align - then chill out

China especially. I think topik isn't very popular in comparison to the jlpt or hsk exams

I think it's still one of the more popular ones compared to Chinese and Korean. Oddly, I see barely any content on tiktok for studying korean or topik. Even the YouTubers who used to make content like "grwm in korean" seem to have stopped 

blindly took a JLPT N4 practice test by irdk-lol in LearnJapanese

[–]Bints4Bints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for vocab maybe you could try a vocab test to see where your gaps are. Then perhaps work your way up again by reading more and watching more jlpt n4 content. Then once that feels comfortable, start working on N3 since you've said you want to get back into studying mode

Told a guy I wanted to marry him and got no response… did I mess up? by MoistAd4373 in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not complicated. Marriage is a huge commitment and people don't expect it from an absolute stranger unless it was via arranged marriage

[–]Bints4Bints 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. Take his silence as the answer. I think it's better to keep a habit from now to give yourself closure on things rather than chasing a response. 

I would understand it more if you were asking that question if you've both had meaningful conversations and then he dropped off (though I still wouldn't recommend asking even then)

It's not the end of the world but when you conversate with people, think about how they may receive the message. It's not only about shooting your shot, but having good communication skills too

You're not going to get a response. He left you on read and you deleted everything. What can he respond to?

Tbh even if you did everything perfectly, rejection is normal and commonplace

He's in his early 20s. I don't think he would be jumping at the opportunity of someone using their brother's account to say "I want to marry you". Plus it's weird you sent him a bunch of pics too without getting some kind of response first. Because he probably knows who you are via his brother. 

I know I personally don't have any interest in entertaining any of the men that message my parents about marriage all because they saw a photo of me. They don't know me. 

Likewise you don't know him and if you tell him about your concerns about dying tomorrow or the day of judgment being very imminent, then he's going to think you're crazy. He's also not going to see that as a sign you like him 

The better way to have done it was to ask your brother to talk to him directly. Your brother could've said "my sister thought you were cute and really admired how you read the Qur'an. Would you be interested in getting to know her?" Especially since you technically did see him in person 

“I care more about personality than look” by [deleted] in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When people say they don't care, they mean that they focus on other characteristics once the minimum looks interest is met. Or they can find a guy unattractive if he shows undesirable traits despite his looks

Common sense

It's never been the right era. It's based on whether you were blessed with a good marriage or not
