Importance of Qadhaa fasts over Nafl (Optional) fasts Q. I have some Qadha fasts to keep for the previous Ramadaan due to previous pregnancies. I wanted to know if its ok to keep Nafl fasts. Will it be valid even though I have outstanding qaza fasts? (Query published as received) A. Due to the Qadha fasts being Fardh, they hold priority over the Nafl fasts and you should try to give due importance to your Qadha fasts. However, this does not mean that you are not permitted to keep any Nafl fasts at all. It will still be permissible for you to keep Nafl fasts and you will attain the rewards of these fasts. However a concerted effort must be made to complete your Qadha fasts. (Adapted from Raddul Muhtar).

Keeping a qadha fast on the day of Aashura Q: If one fasts on the ninth and tenth or tenth and eleventh of Muharram with the intention of a qadha fast, will one receive the reward of the fast of Aashura? https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmuftionline.co.za%2Fb.jpg&t=1628752420&ymreqid=1e76d8aa-a6f0-66f7-1c95-c60001012c00&sig=t5_kXPezWZP6Ut0TdkxD_g--~D A: The fast will be valid. However, one will not obtain the reward and virtue of Aashura through keeping a qadha fast. The reward and virtue of Aashura is for the one who observes nafl fasts on these days. And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best. ولو نوى فرضين كمكتوبة وجنازة فللمكتوبة ولو مكتوبتين فللوقتية ولو فائتتين فللأولى لو من أهل الترتيب وإلا لغا فليحفظ ولو فائتة ووقتية فللفائتة لو الوقت متسعا ولو فرضا ونفلا فللفرض ولو نافلتين كسنة فجر وتحية مسجد فعنهما ولو نافلة وجنازة فنافلة ولا تبطل بنية القطع ما لم يكبر بنية مغايرة ولو نوى في صلاته الصوم صح (الدر المختار 1/439) فتاوى دار العلوم ديوبند عزيز الفتاوى 1/389 أحسن الفتاوى 4/440 Answered by: Mufti Zakaria Makada Checked & Approved: Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Isipingo Beach)

Ashura: Sunni vs Shia Perspective & Practise Difference between the practices of the Sunnis and Shias on 10th Muharram (Ashura)

Ex-Israeli Pilot: "Our army is a terrorist organisation run by war criminals" A former Israeli Air Force pilot, Yonatan Shapira, has described the Israeli government and army as "terrorist organisations" run by "war criminals." Captain Shapira who had resigned from the Israeli army in 2003 at the height of the Palestinian Second Intifada explained in an exclusive interview with Anadolu News Agency why he realized after joining the army that he was "part of a terrorist organisation". he said. "As a child in Israel, you are being brought up in very strong Zionist militaristic education. You don't know almost anything about Palestine, you don't know about the 1948 Nakba, you don't know about ongoing oppression," Shapira said. Ever since leaving the Israeli army, Shapira has launched a campaign that encouraged other military members to disobey orders to attack Palestinians. The campaign has led 27 other army pilots to be discharged from their posts in the Israeli Air Force since 2003. In the last week, Israeli warplanes have waged hundreds of airstrikes against the Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip, killing at least 188 Palestinians including 55 children and 33 women and wounding 1,230 people.

Q: If I already have wudhu, will I be rewarded for making another wudhu? A: If one is in the state of wudhu and he wishes to make another wudhu, it will be permissible and rewarding for him provided that after making the first wudhu, he had carried out some ibaadat which is such that wudhu is a precondition for its validity e.g. he performed salaah, made sajdah tilaawat, etc. If he did not carry out any ibaadat which is such that wudhu is a precondition for its validity, it will not be permissible for him to make a second wudhu. Making a second wudhu at this time will not earn him reward. Rather, it will only be a wastage of water.

Isr--il putting pressure to accept "settlement"

The colonial court’s insistence on not making a decision regarding our appeal today (yesterday 2 August 2021) highlights their awareness of the international media pressure. They even explicitly “advised” us to have less press next hearing. The three Supreme Court “justices” are placing massive pressure on us to reach a "settlement” with the settler organization, avoiding a substantive ruling regarding our rights in the land. This cowardice is to evade potentially detrimental international ramifications. So we know what to do. Mohammed el-Kurd (one of the families of Sheikh Jarrah)

Q: Is there any sort of marriage (nikaah) that can take place purely and only for satisfying one's natural urges and desires? In other words, the man and woman only meet for this purpose and other than this, they both do not wish to shoulder any of the responsibilities of nikaah. A: The institution of nikaah has been objectively effected in Shari'ah in order to produce its desired results. Apart from nikaah serving as a halaal avenue for one to fulfil his desires, the main purpose and object of nikaah is for each spouse to assist the other in leading a life of chastity and piety. Each spouse needs to act responsiblily and fulfil those duties that has been assigned to him/her from the side of Allah Ta'ala. Each spouse's main concern at the time of entering into the nikaah should be to earn the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala through upholding the laws of Shari'ah and leading a life in total conformity to the Sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Such a nikaah will become the means of pious progeny coming into the world and Islam spreading to the four corners of the globe. Entering into nikaah solely to satisfy one's desires and not wishing to shoulder any other responsibility and duty of the nikaah is not the way of Islam. And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

The Israeli Supreme Court suggests to recognise the four Palestinian families in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah as "protected tenants" of their own homes in lieu of acknowledging the settlers' ownership of their homes. This unfair suggestion was totally rejected by the families. These Palestinian families have been living in Sheikh Jarrah since 1956. They were expelled from their original homes by Zionist militias during the creation of Israel in 1948. Case postponed

From behind closed doors of the isra--eli court Behind these doors, the Israeli occupation is bargaining with the residents of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood on their homes, submitting a "proposal" to resolve the issue: The "current" generation of residents remains in their homes as protected renters, while Israeli settlers are to be recognized as owners.. The residents have rejected this unjust resolution.

Decision time Today, The illgel Israeli supreme court is due to make a decision on whether to evict the four Palestinian families from the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah or not.
