Re: Naapaki?
First of all, lets not disrespect a man of knowledge far beyond what we can ever comprehend. If a doctor told you that, you would believe it in a snap.
He is more learned than you and he has knowledge which you do not, so lets not ridicule him for standing correct in his point.
People watch these religious shows to gain religious insight, about their religion, about their creator, about the proper islamic way of living. A washing machine mechanic can't tell you that...only a mufti will.
So when he gave the reply he did, he gave it from his knowledge of islam, which is much greater than what we have, and thats a fact you have to accept.
If it doesn't make sense to you, and you won't 'buy' it...than that only shows that your religious integrity is in dire need of a sincerity check.
If you can give into innate perceptions that quickly, and into societal norms that fast, then are you really sure you want to learn more about islam?
Because in the end you'll keep riddiculing the man of knowledge even more, so why bother? You'll just end up upseting Allah.
As for the washing napaak kapre with pak kapre, To a certain degree it makes sense. In every cycle of the machine, the water is reused. What guarantee do we have that every single napaak dirt had been cleaned out ?
Another way to look at it is this, there is a famous hadith, usually Scholars put this hadith at the BEGINNING of their books, because its a hadith that is classified as a heavy hadith. It goes somethign like this, "Whoever makes hijrat for Allah and his messenger saw, he has made hijrat for them. ANd whoever makes hijrat for a Women, he has made hijrat for her."
This was said at a time, when the Prophet pbuh heard about a sahabi who made hijrat from Mecca to Medina to marry a women.
But this hadith implies more than just that, today it is a guideline for all muslims, and some scholars have made it 1/3 of Islam.
Especially in a world of pride and honour, and ostentation, you see this hadith being implied. Basically whatever your intention is, thats what counts. You can show off as much as you want, but Allah knows whats concealed in your hearts, and what your REAL intention is.
So taking this Hadith into account you see that althought it was for a specific time period, and was said in a certain situation, it still has a tendency to teach mankind about lets say...buying a car or a house. Are you buying to keep your family safe, or to show off? (so basically is ur 'hijrat' for showing off or for ur family?)
Similarily, the Mufti may have used some aspect of Islam to explain this.
If you really want to find out why, try contacting the mufti, ask your local scholar, research on your own. Read up on the effects of mixing dirty and clean laundry.
Thats called real religious integrity, resorting to name calling and 'mullahs are backwards' is just stupidity, and shows the kind of intellect and reasoning that you base your life upon.
