Re: Abey O Junaid Jamshed, Zalim !
1) selling stuff that is not allowed, I mean unless he is only selling silk kurtas to non muslims, but that takes me back to discussions on this site about sellign alcohol but to non muslims or pork products only to non muslims.. but i guess there is no argument in this thread thus far.
2)Junade may have done Tauba, but had he approached the artists whose music his band stole, they would have asked for royalty. they did not get that royalty, so he owes them that..
3) most tableeghis consider music haram, he built his business based on money that was made from music. Now n this site ppl have said that if you mke money from haram means, lottery, gambling whatever, you can not really use it, and if you give it away, dont expec sawaab, but do give it away. I can give him benefit of doubt that the business was started from other money that did not come from his music earnings, although the store was created while he was still singing so that is unlikely. anyways, if we give him the benefit of the doubt that the store was from non music money, then teh store is fine but he needs to give up everything he has procured from music (read: haram) income.
don't expect a person to be an Angel rightway .. atleast he had started from some point and may correct his other shortcomings in future. instead of appreciating a person, people try to find flaws in him.. is it really necessary to degrade someone who had apparently started practicing OR trying to practice Good?
does he have to come forward and say to you 'yes Mr fraudia, i have apologized for the stolen music' ? he may have done it already or he may do it in future.. he may do it in private or in public you never know... but in a meantime you are just benefiting your self with nothing but the doubts and allegations ..khamkhawa ka Gunnah aapne sir??( you are the one whose music he had stolen?)
i heard he had a very tough time after he was out from this music industry and he wasn't making any money from this business. not atleast to pay his kids school fees and he had to put them from private to public schools. maybe now he is Not using the money he had from the music business... aakhir kissi per shak kiyon??
