jizakallah khair for the reminder isa abdullah,

mawaddah are u serious, oh my gosh.
 
:sl:

Here are some:

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.

:w:
 
my favourites:
"if you whistle you're kissing shaitans behind."
"if you dont cover your mouth when yawning shaitan wees in it"

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.

Still you can check to confirm insha'allah.
 
What about wiping your face with your hands after dua? Someone told me this was bid'ah.:?
 
assalaamu alaykum,

personal favourites are those who kiss everything to do with islam... so they fold their prayer mat and kiss it before putting it away.

they take off their toppee, they kiss it, they put it back on they kiss it,

they kiss their prayer beads also,

assalaamu alaykum,
Abu Abdullah

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

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.

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

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.
 
yehh.. datz wot bengaliz do :rollseyes

but da wife feeds da husband and vice versa AFTER nikaah ^o)

da flowery neklace ting is put on da bride and groom by someone of the other family..
 
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.
