    I hope it's not another fatwa by Faraz Rabbani. yuck peace

    In the issue of an age, one's duty is to turn to the recognized authorities of that age. In the issues -- the key issues -- the new matters, the challenges facing Muslims in any particular time, our duty is not just to dig up the answer ourselves, or to try to figure things out, or just going back to the texts alone. But rather ... we have to turn to the recognized authorities of our age.

    No matter how much you dislike but the fact is majority of the fatwas have link to quran and are certified and accepted by the mainstream!

      Raza Brailvi proudly proclaims in the preamble of his translation "Kanzul Iman" that he gave first fatwa when he was thirteen years of age, , and the mainstream accepts those. Result is before the world.

          Well, I'm far from being an expert on Mr. Rabbani and his fatawa, but the ones I've read were mostly based on ahadeeth and unsubstianted claims that seemed to reflect the author's opinion rather than religious truth.

          and are certified and accepted by the mainstream!

          I don't care what's being accepted by the mainstream or not. peace

            of course! men are basically animals that cant control themselves, thats why women have to be covered up and hidden away so as not to arouse them . I dunno why they bothered doing away with burying them at birth, saved a lot of upset

            Peace,
            Respectfully.

            Not all men think of sex all the time and for example, we live in recession now, so most people think how o survive financially.

            Peace.

                I don't understand why the word "fitna" is brought in whenever something is related to women? Iblees is obviously not woman or feminine.

                  But if we scan Free Minds forum we will find more men in this habit than women on the forum. And you know Iblees influences the man most.

                  Yeah he is always setting on my head tempt laugh

                    Didn't a woman correct Caliph Umar on a ruling he made about dowry using a verse from the Quran?

                    No that was a shemale !

                          I didn't want to start a new thread and thought this question might fit in here.

                          Does anyone know where I can find / download recitations by a woman? I have done some searching, but apart from the above mentioned recitor, all I can find are YouTube videos of girls reciting the Qur'an. But I don't like these, I'd prefer to have a recitation by a woman with a nice voice.

                          Any help would be highly appreciated. peace

                            As far as I can remember Omm Kalthum started her carreer by reciting Qur'an in public and the world doesn't seem to have ended since she did such a perilous thing. But obviously back then people were not modern enough. Modern people need this kind of thing to spice life, forbid as much as possible, and also sistematically anything women can do.

                                I think this sounds a bit more like singing than reciting. I don't know if anyone knows what I mean by that but it just sounds more like singing.

                                  An email sent by a friend
                                  Question

                                  Would it be okay for a woman to sing naats or qasidas in public gatherings? What about Quran recitation in public? If this is not okay, would it be okay for either in a case wherein it is done anonymously from behind a screen?
                                  Answer

                                  Walaikum assalam,
                                  It is permitted for them to do so if it is solely in the presence of women, in such a manner that strange men would not be able to hear it, and no other impermissible matter was associated with it.
                                  It is not permitted for men to listen to the singing or recitation of strange (non-mahram) women, whether it is with or without the fear of fitna. It does not matter whether this takes place from behind a screen, a recording, or otherwise, because it is established in the primary texts that a woman's voice can lead to fitna. As such, it may not be used in ways that could be expected to lead to it.
                                  As for talking to someone of the opposite gender, if there is a reasonable need, it is permitted to the extent of the reasonable need, and disliked otherwise.
                                  Wassalam,
                                  Faraz Rabbani.

                                  Peace,
                                  Respect.

                                  I believe more women should definetely step up and speak in public gatherings, like the one we have in London in Hyde Park. It's called Speaker's Corner and just today there was this woman talkin to another woman about Jesus. The discussion was outstanding.

                                  Thank God.
                                  Peace.

                                    Egypt Women reciting Quran in spotlight

                                    Egypt's women have already made inroads into several one-time domains of men. But a suggestion to allow women to recite Islam's holy book the Quran in public has triggered sharp differences among Muslim clerics in this country recently swept by a wave of Islamism.

                                    "Such calls echo a Western agenda," said Mohammad Al Barri, a cleric at Al Azhar, Sunni Islam's influential seat of learning. "There is no clear text in the Quran or the Prophet Mohammad's sunna that women recited the Holy Quran in front of men. Should this happen, there would be a big sedition, which we should avoid by all means," Al Barri told a seminar at the Egyptian Press Syndicate this week.

                                    More than two years ago, Egypt appointed its first women judges. However, a vigorous campaign to empower women, led by Mubarak's wife, has faced stiff opposition from Muslim fundamentalists, say observers.

                                    "The only place where women can read the Holy Quran is in the presence of other women," Al Barri, the Al Azhar scholar, said. "Letting a woman read in front of men would tempt them, thereby earning her and them God's wrath instead of His contentment."

                                    Official ceremonies are usually opened with verses from the Quran, which are always recited by male shaikhs.

                                    Likewise, Egypt's Muslims usually hire male reciters to read from the Holy Quran in the presence of male mourners in memory of their departed relatives. Never have women reciters been seen doing this.

                                    "Women should have the right to recite the Holy Quran in public," said Souad Saleh, a well-known woman Muslim preacher. She told the same seminar that women's voices are not enticing and as such should not be suppressed.

                                      Oh no, sister, I showed a male dancing -- only for educational purposes and in order to make a point. http//img689.imageshack.us/img689/1633/engellieb.gif

                                      My apologies, I should have added a warning that the video contains many haram things, such as music, dancing, showing awrah etc., so that those among us who are weak can avoid looking at it and falling into sin.

                                      http//img689.imageshack.us/img689/1633/engellieb.gif http//img689.imageshack.us/img689/1633/engellieb.gif http//img689.imageshack.us/img689/1633/engellieb.gif

                                      Look, Tarkan is a shameless guy, he even publicly makes fun of the fact that he causes great fitnah. http//www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-018.gif Watch this at your own risk!

                                      kdm

                                      I think Tarkan was the 2nd Turkish singer I listened to (the first being Mustafa Sandal).

                                      Isn't Tarkan gay? Or kind of gay-ish? I dunno, I don't find him attractive. That's just me though....

                                        Peace all!

                                        My classmates told me that a woman cannot sing in public because 'in the Quran it says that in the hereafter she will have a hook going through her mouth'. One of them is having a shisha party with a bellydancer shaking her ass.

                                          Peace all!

                                          My classmates told me that a woman cannot sing in public because 'in the Quran it says that in the hereafter she will have a hook going through her mouth'. One of them is having a shisha party with a bellydancer shaking her ass.

                                          Why would some sects of Islam find any justification for banning something as beautiful and enjoyable as singing?
