THE BID’AH OF EID HANDSHAKING AND HUGGING

by  Maulana Khaalid Khaan Qaasmi

A new way  adopted for wishing one another on the day of ‘Eid is  hand-shaking and hugging. This practise  has no basis in the Shariah of Islam.  Since this practice is not proven from any statement, deed or narration of Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam), nor from any Sahaabi (radhiyallaahu ‘anhum), and nor from any  Mujtahid Imaam,  it is a bid’ah which is an innovated  into Deen. It is a baseless custom. 

SHEEP WITHOUT TAILS?

QUR’BAANI  IS NOT VALID

The mas’alah  pertaining to the prohibition of offering tailless sheep for Qur’baani is as old as Islam. The  attempts to scuttle this prohibition is motivated by only one factor, and that is, the preference for consuming sheep mutton. It is not really an issue of  the unavailibility  of animals with tails.
The  argument for permissibility is flapdoodle and  lacking in Shar’i daleel. Allah Ta’ala, The Creator, has created sheep with tails – tails  which serve the intended Divine purpose regardless of what the modernist animal experts and farmers say.
