Re: …Religious Questions…
Shikra, I agree with what all of you are saying but do not forget that most of the people in Pakistan are following Hanfi school of thought and specially now a days even I have problem when I read something and was not able to find that the issue under discussion is following which scool of thought. There are some differences in all of them some stricly forbids one thing whereas the other do allow bassed of some example from Ahdees or Rawayat’s.
There is no harm in asking questions but remember that our parents were thought by whatever was available at that time (most of India Pakistan Hanfi Ladies learned things through “Bahistee Zaewar” a book written for that purpose). Our parent knew only about what Hanfi school of though think abd beleive in and they are not aware of what other school of thought says (was very simple to understand at that time). So not knowing the other point of view is possible. Try reading the book I mentioned above and many things will be clear to you.
I remember that when I argued to my parents first time about something they simply said that read about it and then come, we will clear the confusion, and that helped a lot. Next time I had to prepare myself before going to them.
