hate the sin, not the sinner (revisted)

Comment: ASA,
How can one hate the sin and not the sinner? Don’t they go hand in hand? What if you have repeatedly told the person to stop what their doing, i.e. gossiping and they know what they are doing is wrong but they keep doing it? What if the person doing the sin is a person of high status or a prestigious organization? I

hijab

Q: Salam
please excuse my inconvenience I always think of these Question’s  in my head when ever I see a Muslim women
1) why do muslim’s  girls wear hijab? 2) Why is it important to wear hijab? 3) Isn’t there a choice if you want to wear or not?  4) Why do some muslim women’s cover their all boby and face and just leave their eyes and some other muslim women’s just cover their boby and head but not their face? WHY

we all have our faults. ‘Hate the sin not the sinner.’

wipe or wash versus neck or nape

Q: Dear Imam,

This question is just a side thought, but when women make wudu, do we have to clean our neck? Some say we do, and some say we don’t, I would like to know so I can do my wudu right.

i am ‘edu-ma-cated’ and my proof is that i am part of the ‘MsA’

We usually try and publish all comments and queries unless we feel it  proves a hindrance to the sender or our site. Thus, i apologize; I got a loooooooong email from an msa member. Half of it comprised of rambling and communication that may be viewed as ‘pseudo psycho-intellectual babble (or self-talk.)’ I am sorry but we are not a bulletin board for you to ‘sound off’ or ‘get back’ at any person or institution.

Rubbing alcohol is not really alcohol

Q:Assalamualaikum. Hey Imaam! I have a question regarding alcohol. Is it prohibitted at every level in Islam? Simple example rubbing alcohol for a wound.

even if my son is not perfect, you (my sister) better be perfect

Q: Alsalam a’lakum,
I have recently spoken to my father about marrying a girl who i think has helped me mature and enjoy life more over the last two years and given me a reason to leave my previous life of partying, drinking, drugs and pre-maritial relationship, in order to attempt to build a future and life for us to get married. I have since started praying and concentrating on successfully finishing my studies and working.
However, my father who has never met her nor knows anything about her, on me simply mentioning her nationality(French), refused, claiming she is badly brought up and has probably had a 100 “relations”.
When i further questioned him, asking for his reasoning and for my mother to meet her to more accurately judge, he refused to discuss it further with me.
Am i mistaken in thinking he is wrong in his prejudice? I do not want to marry her without his permission, however i believe he is being selfishly stubborn in order to avoid the embarrassment of his son marrying a non-national, as he has previously condemned it when my cousin did the same, despite them currently being happily married. He refuses to give me any reasoning apart from her nationality, continuing to claim she has no principles, morals or respect.
