when ppl follow culture and not islam but call that cultural practice islam its ok for us to have a laugh and giggle about.
also i think its important that we all inform eachother cultural stuff that we've seen and heard about so we can warn others and make sure we dnt do it out selves. cuz sometimes i see practicing ppl do stuff that is culture rather then islam because theyve never asked about thr history of that practice.
so lets all share these funny culturals things we used to do n believe in.
we were told to fold the corner of our musallahs so the shaitan cudnt pray on it. lol, where did that come from? i say let the shaitan pray, if he wants to repent let him repent, it always makes me laugh wen i go to some ones house n their musallahs are folded up in the corner.
ill try n think of some more n post em wen i remember inshallah but want to hear some of urs.
1) Dont leave slippers upside down - it causes fights
2) Dont cut nails at night...or on wednesdays..
3) Dont go to the bathroom at 12:00..
Any Hadiths regarding the above? If not, then I think its just cultural. Im gonna submit it to Islam-Qa and see what they say Inshallah.
I'm positive that there's nothing concerning the first and third one, but i'm a bit doubtful about the middle one. As far as I can recall theres no hadeeth concerning that either.

theres no basis at all for any of them, islam qa already talk about the nail thing n they sed its nothing to do with islam. i too was told by family that u shudnt cut ur nails at night or on wednesdays, how daft grrrr
What about wiping your face with your hands after dua? Someone told me this was bid'ah.
im sure theres hadith about how the prophet saw wiped over his body after he read the three quls so perhaps thats why ppl do it after a dua, as far as i know this is ok, but will check it out, im glad ppl are posting stuff because it clarifies alot of things.
"if you dont cover your mouth when yawning shaitan wees in it"
one should stil lcover their mouth when yawning
The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When one of you yawns, he should try to restrain it with cue help of his hand since it is the Satan that enters therein
Muslim
for the musalla one i heard that shaytaan jumps on it
another one after saying dajjal you havta say la hawla wa la quwwata illah billah befcause when you say dajjal one of the chains on him are loosened and when you say la hawla wa la quwwata illah billah 10 chains are put on hi m

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Oh amani i think we posted the same time. I was going to stay away from it just incase anyway, but jazakAllah khayr to both of you for posting that! I noticed alot of people from different cultures do this though, one being Somalis.

Lol... I thought you were talking to me for second.
the Prophet (s) shared milk with Fatima (r) and his guests for the walima
right, cuz this pakistani person once sed that the wifes sisters feed the husbands the milk which is obviously not islamic because theyre not mehram for eachother, its sad that ppl take something perfectly gud like the milk thing and turn it into fitnah central.
it is not gud 2 laugh at ppl ways.its a way of mocking.your parents have learnt these from their parents and so on. do what a muslim would do, tell your parents, they only do this 4 a sign of respect.
