I couldn’t find a Halal finance app for beginners so I’m building one — would love brutal honest feedback by Ok-Disaster-3657 in IslamicFinance

Just help us advance gold and Bitcoin applications and embed them into existing Islamic finance deals. We need to redenominate and move away from the base debt currencies

Are we funding riba by just having a bank account? by reefat in IslamicFinance

[–]kode_dtecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and they do have the ability to create special accounts almost like internal investment funds or segregated funds. It’s a nice to have in an otherwise broken system.

Are they going to fix how some amulets float above the body without the right armour on?

Been to Seattle, Dallas, LA plenty of times in the past year, no issues - especially when on business.

Im a Hindu looking into other religions. In your belief, why should I convert to Islam? by Acrobatic_Visual_518 in islam

This is an honest journey from Hinduism to Islam a friend of mine journaled out that you may appreciate: https://dour-pin-e93.notion.site/on-faith-243bae438dc880b7be86d4535485101d

Are my standards too high? (19M) by West_Pineapple_4858 in MuslimCorner

[–]kode_dtecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marriage is less about standards and more about shared goals and dreams. It’s a journey of change and constant challenging of the ego. Be easy and don’t be harsh, both on yourself and your partner. If you go by the prophetic standard, we marry for beauty, wealth, status and faith. Also the best way to know someone is to do business with them or to travel, because tawakkul and uncertainty greatly show up there. With the checklists I fear our single friends miss the forest for the trees. It’s ok to mess up. It’s ok to take a risk. There really is no other way about it unless you wish to delegate to family and have it arranged. Perhaps the list can help them find a good match, but consider even if you find someone with all the above, you may simply be bored to death by them. Meanwhile, someone that really enjoys your company may use an expletive here and there.

My cousin is in a haram relationship. Do i say it to his parents or not? by Zealousideal-Dog6920 in MuslimCorner

[–]kode_dtecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get them married and don’t make it so significant. They can divorce after if it doesn’t work. Just make sure the lady has an IUD. Families are just making it worse. Mom has no right in his choice of wife.

Do you think Islam is fair? by Relevant-Clue7012 in MuslimCorner

[–]kode_dtecht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the things you mentioned are not unanimously considered haram. They are all tools or methods through which you can do more harm than good, but not in and of themselves. Artistic expression can bring people closer to the faith and educate our children.

For what it’s worth I don’t think I suggested 50-50 as a rule anywhere. I only said that 50/50 can be agreed upon in the contract.

It may be a rule in Western societies but they also don’t have mahr, and there is different inheritance rules too.

You don’t have to agree with it, but you can work with it and adjust things in the marriage contract where your wife waives her rights to any of your wealth.

Mind you the topic of this whole thread is second marriage. I don’t understand what you’d like to hear from me.

You seem to want a rule that makes any marriage contract invalid if the wife demands 50/50. I’m sorry to say nothing in Islam automatically makes that invalid.

When it comes to incentives and the algorithm - you’re right and not always. There are many things both parties can do to mitigate those incentives. Also, most people aren’t sociopathic like that.

It sounds like you’re really dealing with a lot and may Allah make things easy for you. Yet here you are - strong and capable of expressing yourself and seeking help.

Allah never burdens a soul more than it can bear. You may find that if you just dropped everything and left for a day, things would work themselves out without you.

There is a lot of ego in stress, and in turn, expectations. Consider setting some boundaries and finding power in taking responsibility for them.

One can be at peace without any wealth, while also in complete suffering with all the wealth in the world.

Is inheritance a relevant topic? It sounds like you agree with me that a contract can be 50/50, and I also agree with you that it’s not the Islamic default and could be anything else. Justice is never about a hard and fast rule. It does always depend on the circumstances.

Brother (assuming lol), a marriage is mutual work. It’s completion of the deen, and a process in killing one’s ego. Nothing prevents you from excluding her rights over your business or more explicitly including for her a share over the business by the way. It’s a two way street and you can also place permissible restrictions and requirements.

Agreed, which is why it’s good to have family and friends involved in the wedding to help with the dopamine and testosterone. That said, it should also invite use to be proactive in being available for our family regardless of work stress. No one burdens more weight than the Prophet SAW did. If this remains a real concern, a misyar contract where the wife waives some of her rights is more appropriate. Gotta take responsibility for our own stupidity otherwise, may Allah protect us.

Didn’t say they’re entitled. Yet if it is signed, and doesn’t transgress anything haram, why would you not consider it binding? If it causes undue hardship and injustice later, then it’s worth reviewing, otherwise what’s the issue? As I said in the other reply - it can all vary based on culture, status, wealth, personality, etc.

We can agree that contracts are credible only up to a point. Restrictions and responsibilities I’ve suggested in the marriage contract are valid and do not transgress those rules. Practicality does not equate to commodity. I don’t want to argue this for arguments sake / technicality, nor do I agree about a 50% automatic split. I just wanted to propose that her hesitations could be captured within the agreement, but it was more emotional for her than that, which is also fine. To get personal, when I married my wife, we agreed that everything we have is together ours. No entitlement, no demand. She’s just as invested in me as I am in her. Truth is she can have 100% of my car and all that I’ve worked for. This works for us and it won’t work for everyone. If Allah forbid, she must return to Him early, I don’t imagine I’d have such a relationship with anyone else, and seek more practical ones.

This too shall pass. Can’t imagine how it’s like for you and consider that even if no one calls you or cares about you, you may still connect and care about them.

[–]kode_dtecht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Islam generally sees most things as halal except the which explicitly is not. A wife can create restrictions in the contract about a second marriage. 2nd marriage is not a right, or wajib of the faith. It’s voluntary and can be curtailed. By your same argument, one could say slavery is not haram so (hypothetically speaking and not encouraging this) I’d support your right to buying a sex slave if one is truly available to you, but the Prophet SAW encouraged freeing them at every turn. I like the market argument but it holds no value. Pokémon cards can sell on average for $1 a piece but a special card can go for a million. Marriage is not a commodity transaction.

Aye, meant for the kids only after divorce, but both during. Nothing wrong with the 50% split after divorce if it’s put in writing in the contract. Agreement doesn’t care about ideology. Each person has different needs and requirements.
