THE MOCK ‘HAJJ-E-BADAL’ OF AN AGENT OF IBLEES

QUESTION
CII is hosting a hajj programme for the deceased. The programme is about hajje-e-badal for the deceased. The hajj is performed by locals of Makkah who have already performed hajj. Local madrasah students over the age of 20 will perform the hajj on behalf of the marhoom (the deceased). The cost is about R12,500. Please advise of the Shariah’s stance regarding this programme. Is this programme valid in terms of the Shariah?

ANSWER
This ‘hajj-e-badal’ programme is a haraam farce. It is a mockery of Hajj and a mockery of the Deen. It is a money-making racket in which only ignoramuses become trapped.

Question (Number 166010)

What do the respected Mutiyaan say regarding those individuals who are involved in refuting the firqah baatilah (deviated sects, e.g. Qadiyaanis, Parwezis, Shakeelis, Raafzis, Ghair-Muqallids, etc.) by conveying their message to the people in the form of videos.

Since the masses do not pay much attention to audio forms, the message which needs to be conveyed to the Ummah does not reach them. Therefore, they take the aid of such videos in which animate pictures appear.

HARAAM CHICKENS AND DECEPTIVE APPEARANCES

Regarding commercially killed chickens, a Brother comments as follows: 

Assalaamu'alaykum Respected Moulana 

Alhamdulillah I read the article on the chicken situation at a certain abbatoir. 

There are many chicken abatoirs that are not particular when it comes to these chickens being slaughtered correctly. The meaning of slaughtered correctly is that the slaughtering is done according to SHARIAH and not according to our non-islamic government laws and regulations.
