- Mutah is only allowed in one school of thought; Misyar is not allowed in some schools of thought, atleast the one I know of. Never heard of it being practiced. Perhaps, people who practice/believe in these can better answer that why it makes sense. I will keep away from this.
what is the basis of either of these practices, and what are the arguments for and/or against?
i thought religion would have one ruling as something of this nature.
- How exactly 'Sharia Compliant Financing' works? My initial understanding was that the 'middle' party actually pays off bank without interest in cash or however way, and then, sells the property to customer with profit in fixed installments... which is exactly how a legitimate business is done. What I am hearing now is that bank is involved at the back of it and interest is being paid at atleast one point... That defeats the purpose and if in fact, that is how it is run then, it is not islamic. If it is run how I had initially understood, then, there is no issue and it is perfectly Islamic.
sells the property with profit in fixed installments, do you know how these installments are calculated? call it profit, call it interest, its the same thing.
- We can ask and give same argument on how does a simple act of having nikah done with na-mehram makes the person mehram? it's not that genes changed, it's not that person became a blood relative...
yeah but there is a little bit of a difference between a contract to get married which is a step taken by adults out of their own free will.
Dont think I am against this, to me its just funny how people use the whole topic of oh we cant adopt because the kid will be na mehram. I think in the end it goes to intentions. teh argument seems funny coming from people who have other na mehrams mixing casually in their family events and homes.
