(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:
Social security
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 question: is it forbidden in islam to take retirement money/pension/social insurance welfare if jobless in western country.
If one lives in a country, where there is a system of Social Security
or something similar; and he would have
to pay to this fund a part of his earnings if he did have a job; there is absolutely no harm in him accepting
the money from the fund when he finds himself out of a job.
Your question: for health reason doctor advised a female to walk every day for 30 mins. she cannot joined the ladies health club due to health problem nor she can use treadmill at her home as she is having motion sickness. can she go alone for walk with the hijaab, as there is no one to accompany her.
The rule of a male mehram
accompanying a woman, is only
applicable on a believing woman, when
she intends to travel to a distant place.
There is absolutely no harm if she intends to walk alone as a form of exercise, provided she is dressed appropriately when
in public.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allahs 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,
