One of our brothers/sisters
has asked this question:
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

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.

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
