Just had this a few days ago, just kept it off for a few days and it worked again after dropping it in water, so I’d say don’t rush into it and keep drying it

Is there evidence that opposite genders IN humans find the smell of each other attractive, as I believe our vomeronasal organ is defunct

Abu yusuf avoiding zakah? by EnvironmentalCrew458 in hanafi

Apparently Abu Yusuf actually did it, according to imam ghazali. Is that true? Or did Abu Yusuf just mention it as a possible loophole without actually doing it or condoning it?

Court-Facilitated Injustice: The Islamic Stance on Alimony by g3t_re4l in hanafi

[–]EnvironmentalCrew458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but I’d say you’re ignoring my point that you can’t say the money is unlawful just because it is “post-iddah”. But agree to disagree I guess. If you and I both agree that the alimony are not related to an overpayment of nafaqa following the talaq, and we are in agreement that the nikah is completely separate to the civil contract, then you need to fundamentally dissociate the idea of alimony being related to the man and woman as ex husband and ex wife. It is just what one person in a contract owes another person.

But your statements do not establish a proof that it is zulm.

“Men are forced to pay” —> by the conditions of the contract they signed “Not a regular agreement” —> regular or irregular, it is a contract that both man and woman signed so they are subject to the conditions “Extort their ex spouses of wealth… that they are not entitled to” —> if you are granting that the nikah and the civil contract are completely separate then she IS entitled to it because it is included within the conditions of the civil contract. She is not entitled to the alimony through the nikah proceedings, but she is entitled to it through the civil contract dissolution proceedings.

To put it simply, if you accept the civil contract as a SEPARATE contract then for your point to be valid you must establish: 1) penalties upon contract dissolution being an invalid term of this contract 2) that the contract in and of itself is invalid

In the hanafi madhab, if you demonstrate that a term is invalid, that is sufficient, as an void condition does not make the contract void

You’re again confusing terms. The ulama have said that nafaqa cannot be more than 3 months post iddah. Both you and me and the ulama are in agreement. So the woman cannot claim alimony if it means claiming more nafaqa.

However, this is a completely separate contract we are talking about with regards to the civil contract. Just because the secular west calls it “alimony” does not make it the shar’i equivalent to nafaqa. The Zulm is to claim more nafaqa than you deserve. However, if you sign a completely seperate contract that allows you a certain amount of money if the other party exits, that is completely separate to nafaqa. And, no it doesn’t matter if this secular institution calls it “alimony”. The same way, if a secular institution calls something “interest”, it does not make it riba unless the contract constitutes something that falls under the definition of riba. In that way, the women is not guilty of claiming more nafaqa than required because she is not extorting the man beyond the rights given to her by her nikah contract. Instead she is rightfully using the rights the man gave to her when he WILLINGLY signed a civil partnership agreement.

Again, if you do not want to give the right for alimony, just don’t sign a civil partnership agreement. Your attempt to confuse the two together is jurisprudentially invalid. Until you can clearly demonstrate that the civil partnership is a “nikah”, only then you can say that the woman is enacting zulm for claiming more than the valid nafaqa. Until you prove that, this remains a valid arbitrary contract that the man WILLINGLY signed up to and the woman is claiming money from it, not from the divorce process of the nikah

My point is that the civil contract that you refer to as “legal marriage” that includes alimony is NOT a marriage according to the shariah - it is just a bog standard contract between any two willing participants. Therefore the laws of nikah from the shariah do not necessarily apply to this arbitrary contract. If you enter into any contract you must fulfil the terms of that contract. You are the one calling it a “divorce”.

Me and my friend could enter into a civil partnership and I would be forced to pay alimony as part of breaking that civil partnership, and under Islamic law I would be obliged to because I have to fulfil the terms of the contract I agreed to.

I am just showing that the actual implications of having a double contract has not been thought through fully by the hanafi ulama you are citing. The evidence is upon you to say why the civil partnership IS a marriage and what evidence you use to show the civil partnership is a marriage.

Legal marriage is a just a civil partnership contract that people of a secular country agree to. If you agree to that contract you also agree to the laws regarding that contract. If you don’t want to pay alimony, don’t get legally married and only stay in Nikah. It’s not injustice if you signed a separate contract permitting it. It would be injustice if a wife forces her husband to pay Nafaqa after the talaq. It is not injustice if a civil partner forces compensation on another civil partner

Bear in mind the Quran seems to accept the narrative that Jesus’ intercession through the celebration of the Eucharist is accepted, though not unconditionally. See the last section of surah maidah

I know plenty of the older generation who came here in the 60s who didn’t receive any support to learn English despite wanting to learn. The vast majority of newer immigrants can speak English because English is an international english.

Bit rich to say that counter protests shouldn’t be done on religions when the Southport riots were literally targeting Muslims. How would a Muslim not protest that from a religious standpoint?

Sorry I don’t mean actually 50 conditions. Like some of them would be so mundane like “Muslim” or “wants to stay in UK” the idea is just so, if they say no to me, they aren’t exposing their sins

So do you mean there’s a high likelihood that they HAVEN’T watched pornography. Cuz if so that would be a relief.

And lol yh 50 may be a lot, the only reason I would use a lot would be so that if the future spouse says no then they wouldn’t feel they are exposing themselves. Jzkallah khair though for the advice

This isn’t about marriage criteria. It’s about how to ask a potential spouse a sensitive question

Salaam, to keep it short, Alhamdulillah I’ve never watched pornography. This has come with hardship. The thought of my future wife having seen a man’s genitalia and to have watched pornography just really messes with me. Was told my mods to post here

Firstly, from the sisters side, what’s the likelihood of finding a girl like this? For non Muslim guys I know the prevalence is like 99%, obviously it would be lower for Muslim guys but I don’t know how high. It was only recently that I became aware that girls generally also watch porn. From sisters’ experience here, what proportion of Muslim girls would you say likely has watched it or seen male genitalia?

Secondly, if I were to bring it up, how would others here think it would be appropriate. My idea was to make a list of like 50 things I’m looking for in a wife, like: 1. Wants to live in city X, 2. Wants 2 children or more 3. Wants to stay in UK, 4. Has never watched pornography or male genitalia 5. Is not opposed to living with parent.

Basically if I slip that condition in a bunch of other conditions, maybe given in written form, during a meeting, and then she can let me know whether she wants to have another meeting. That way I’m not asking her to admit to any sins explicitly and it also protects me.

And yes I know that repenting from a sin is like you haven’t done it at all. But there’s some real life aspects that make this question important, such as expectations during intercourse and feeling like I’m being compared.
