Fatawa: The fast and prayers of a woman who does not wear hijab
We have reviewed request no. 1204 for the year 2007 submitted by al-Azhar magazine and which includes the following:
I do not wear hijab. Will Allah accept my fast and prayers?
Answer Fatwa Council:
The legal attire for Muslim women is a duty Allah the Almighty has imposed. He prohibited women from showing the parts of their body which they have been commanded to conceal from all men who are not of her unmarriageable kin. The legal attire is that which conceals the entire body except the face and hands; it must not reveal, cling to the body, or be transparent.
The various legal duties are not interchangeable. For instance, performing prayers does not permit one to forsake fasting, and praying and fasting do not justify forsaking the legal attire.
A Muslim woman who prays and fasts but does not wear the attire which Allah has commanded her to wear is blameless in regards to her fast and prayers, though she is but blameworthy for forsaking hijab which is obligatory. Whether these acts will be accepted is something left to Allah the Almighty — apart from the fact that a Muslim is obliged to assume the best concerning Allah the Glorious, even if he or she has committed a sin or an offense.
A Muslim must know that one of the many kinds of mercies that Allah extends to man is His decree that good deeds erase the bad – and not the other way around. He must also know that by doing so he will be opening a blank page with Allah - a page devoid of any sins and by which he will repent from his sins, and thus make the month of Ramadan the starting point for embarking on good deeds that would lead him to Allah the Almighty and make him favorable in His eyes. A Muslim woman upon whom Allah has bestowed the gift of prayers, fasting during Ramadan, and obedience to Him, must show gratitude by performing the duties she has neglected. This is because one of the signs that a good deed has been accepted is being conferred the success of succeeding that good deed with another.
Allah the Almighty knows best.

Hadith
Ibn 'Umar saw a Yemeni man performing Tawâf (circumambulating the Ka'bah) while carrying his mother on his back. This man said to Ibn 'Umar, "I am like a tame camel for her! I have carried her more than she carried me. Do you think I have paid her back, O Ibn 'Umar?" Ibn 'Umar replied •► "No, not even one contraction (that she suffered while giving birth to you) !!" (Al-Adab al-Mufrad Bukhârî 1/62)

Happiness!
A man had an argument with his wife and said, “I am going to make your life miserable.”
The wife calmly replied, “You cannot do that.”
He said, “Why not?”
She said: “If happiness were to be found in money or jewellery, you could deprive me of it and take it away from me, but it is nothing over which you or any other person has control. I find happiness in my faith, and my faith is in my heart, and no one has power over it except my Lord.”
The One Who created happiness is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful, so how can you seek happiness from anyone other than Him?
Allahu Akbar !!
If people had control over happiness, there would be no deprived or grieving person left on earth.

Star Sign!!!
As Muslims, Star signs mean nothing to us.
Because believing that star signs have any influence in our lives, or dictate any events- is shirk.
And even if you’re reading them just “for fun”. Is there really any fun in something that could cause the displeasure of Allah, via the advertisement of one of the most Major Sins in Islam?
“Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghayb (Unseen) except Allaah”
[al-Naml 29:65]

Drink water in empty stomach
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.
The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain. For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Kyla Pawis-Racist or Ignorant?
"If you are brown and watching this-go back to your own country."
It may be two minutes she’ll regret for the rest of her life. That’s about the time it took a young white teen from Brampton to record a YouTube video in which she comes across as a racist.
The 16-year-old rants to a camera about how everyone in her Brampton high school “is brown,’’ equates “turbans’’ with “terrorists,’’ moans about having to move from Toronto to “Bramladesh,’’ asks white people to get in touch with her and advises brown people to “go back to your own country.’’
And now the teen — who made those comments in a recent YouTube-posted video gone viral this week with copies — faces death threats.
But her father says his daughter is truly sorry she made the video, which is “totally out of character,” and that she has struggled with depression and is now in hospital.
“She has some challenges,’’ said her father. (The Star has decided not to name the student or her family.)
He wanted to make it plain that he’s very sorry about the content and apologizes on behalf of his family “to anyone who’s been hurt by this video.”
“I’m angry at the content of the video — it’s not who she is as a person or how she was brought up,’’ said her father.
His daughter is definitely not a racist and has non-white friends. “The first thing she said, was ‘Dad, I’m not a racist. I don’t know why I did it. It was stupid,’” said the father, who’s not sure when his daughter made the video and posted it to YouTube.
He says he hasn’t been able to get an answer to why she made the video. “It might have been a cry for help. I don’t know ... an attention-seeking thing. I have no idea.’’
His main concern right now “is to help her with the challenges she’s going through.’’
Students at Brampton’s Turner Fenton Secondary School told the Star Tuesday that the teen had been jumped the day before by another student. Teachers had to call police to escort her from the school safely, the students said.
The Grade 11 student has not been at school since, and her Facebook and Twitter accounts, which she identified in her YouTube video, have been dismantled. Friends told the Star she’s dropped out of sight and no one has heard from her.
On Tuesday, her angry peers — most of whom aren’t white — don’t expect her back at school any time soon.
“That was blatantly racist,” said a Grade 10 student during the lunch hour. “She should have recognized that everyone here is from a different background.”
The video seemed to come out of the blue and doesn’t reflect on their school, which has people from all cultures and religions, students said. Everyone gets along, for the most part. Just two weeks ago, the school held a culture festival with presentations and food to celebrate its diversity.
A group of Grade 10 boys playing football said they didn’t take the video personally, but thought it was “ignorant.” One joked that he smells like Axe — not curry.
“I’m only offended about the ‘go back to your country’ part,” said one student, 16. “Most of us were born here.”
The students who spoke to the Star condemned any violence against the teen and hoped she has learned her lesson. Friends of various races expressed shock that she posted it in the first place.
Certainly the video has launched a firestorm of tweets and comments, overwhelmingly critical of the teen.
Const. George Tudos, media relations representative for Peel Police, confirmed the teen has had death threats and police are monitoring the situation. He said the police have had many emails and phone calls from people “who are outraged’’ about the video, which started circulating on Sunday, with posted copies gaining thousands of viewings. The original has been deleted from YouTube.
“It has created quite a stir,’’ he said.
Police have looked at the video and, while its contents are “disappointing,’’ Tudos said at this point they “don’t think there’s anything criminal in nature.’’ He said police don’t believe it qualifies as hate propaganda but the investigation is ongoing.
Further, the postings under the various copies of the YouTube video contain “hurtful’’ comments, he said. “There’s a back and forth ... kind of like a feud.’’
A request from the Star for comment from the teen’s school principal was refused on the grounds of privacy rules. Carla Pereira, acting manager of communications for the Peel District School Board, said she could not confirm that she was a student at the school or, if she was, whether she had been suspended.
But Pereira did acknowledge that Turner Fenton Secondary School made an announcement to all students Monday about “appropriate use of technology’’ and that students can face penalties if they don’t abide by the school code of contact.
In cases like this, involving suspect use of social media, she said school authorities would begin an investigation and contact police.
“We take reports like this very seriously,’’ Pereira said. “We expect all students to demonstrate appropriate online conduct and refrain from improper/unethical use of technology while at and away from school. That is the expectation in our schools’ codes of conduct. Students who do not abide by the code will be subject to appropriate progressive discipline.’’
