How should a housewife pay the compensation?
If a woman is a housewife and during her pregnancy or menstruation she had to skip fasts then
how should she pay the compensation?
As she doesn’t do a job and doesn’t have money.
– Zara Muhammad from Canada Answer: The fasts skipped due to menses or
pregnancy do not require financial compensation but you have to fulfill the skipped fasts
as Qadha.
You should complete the Qadha before the next Ramadan.
Financial compensation or fidya is for those women who are old.
Obviously an old woman doesn’t have menses or pregnancy.
So that compensation is for those whose health is so bad that they are totally lost on hope
that they cant even fast during winters and as you have asked this question in Canada,
fasts in Canada are so easy that I believe even old people can fast.
And in some areas of Canada, the day becomes very small and it is very cold.
So it becomes a lot easier for people and for old people aswell to fast.
So you have to do qadha fasts in such cases.
If someone is so ill that they cant fast during winters too ,seems impossible to fast or there
is serious risk of health becoming worse then for such people there is fidya.
Fidya for 1 fast is to feed a poor man 2 times a day.
OR 2.25 kg and some scholars say 1.75.
In our opinion we say to give away 2.25kg wheat or give away the equivalent money of
this food.
If a woman is unable to do this aswell , I don’t think a woman in Canada may be unable
to give away 2.25kg of wheat to a poor man.
People living there have a capacity there.
But if a woman is so poor that she cant pay for 2.25 kg wheat and upon asking for the
money to her husband, he cant pay or ask the husband to pay from the wife’s side to the
poor people – such husbands are probably not found in Canada- anyways if such a husband
isn’t found in markets of Canada and such men are unavailable who cant even cooperate
this much with his wife that he gives some money to compensate for her fasts then the
woman has to be patient and Allah is forgiving as you don’t have the resources and capacity
. When Allah blesses you financially then you may do it.
Allah is forgiving.
Question: Uploading pictures on social media after applying makeup.
– I am a makeup artist.
After doing makeup of my clients, I upload pictures of the faces of the girls on social
media with their permission so I can advertise my work.
Will I be called a sinner for this?– Sadia from India
Answer: Making young girls viral specially with makeup is not a good thing to do.
You may do something else to advertise your business.
Your company’s name may be advertised or promoted but usage of faces of young girls
is not right.
I suggest you to leave it.
You may blessed Insha Allah.
You may face some losses temporarily . A lot of people prefer religious and pious girls.
A lot of women who do purdah may prefer your business thinking that you don’t use pictures
of your clients to advertise , don’t make their pictures viral etc.
So a lot of people may contact you specially because of this habit.
Question: Using hairbrush made out of pig’s – It is said that hairbrush is made out
of pig’s hair.
So will it be permissible to use this brush or not?
– Binte Abdullah Answer: Using hairbrush made out of pig’s
is not permissible.
Usage of its hair of the head to its nails is totally haram to benefit from.
But this isn’t because someone said that it is made of pig’s hair and you accept
it.
You need solid evidence or reliable information before deciding that it is actually pig hair
or not.
Until you aren’t 100% sure, it will be considered as permissible.
