Salaam,
1) Is this Right "If a Muslim does not eat Meat for 40 Days he is no more called a Muslim"

2) Can a Women cut/shave/pull  her unwanted hair growen above lips (Like

men - Moustache) and near the Chin (like men - beard)

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Removing unwanted hair

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your comment: Is this Right "If a Muslim does not eat Meat for 40 Days he is no more called a Muslim"

The list of halaal food is endless in Islam! That does not mean that a believer has to eat all the allowed food! There is NO such thing in Islam that if a muslim does not eat meat (or any other halaal food) for a number of days, he leaves the fold of Islam! The statement that a muslim who does not eat meat for a period of 40 days is no more a muslim is absolutely false!

 

If one, for whatever reason, prefers not to eat meat (or any of the halaal food), then it is his/her choice; provided he believes that the food is ordained as halaal by Allah and His Messenger (saws). A believer can choose to eat whatever pleases him from among the halaal foods Allah and His Messenger (saws) have ordained for him; and be grateful to Allah for the provisions He has provided to His slaves.

 

Your comment: Can a Women cut/shave/pull  her unwanted hair growen above lips (Like men - Moustache) and near the Chin (like men - beard)

Sahih Al-Bukhari 7.815 Narrated by Abdullah

Allah has cursed those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their eye-brow hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as change the features created by Allah. Why then should I not curse those whom the Prophet (saws) has cursed?

 

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 1979 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas

The Prophet (saws) said: Shaving is not a duty laid on women; only clipping the hair is incumbent on them.

 

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said that Allah has cursed the women who pluck or remove hair from their eye-brows. There is no harm if a woman removes, cuts, or plucks the hair (without shaving) which grows on their chins or above their lips.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
