Shadow/Parchaiey

My cousin is 7 months pregnant, she found out her neighbour had a miscarriage she is very upset and wanted to know if it is true that her neighbour shadow is bad for her unborn baby or is it just a myth.

If it is how can she explain it to her neighbour without hurting her who is also a best friend of hers?

Please can we have your views thank you.

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

No, her neighbor’s shadow will not effect her own pregnancy :smack:

Miscarriages happen because it is the body’s way of rejecting a non-viable embryo/fetus …or if it’s later along in the term, some sort of health condition that compromised the fetus’ abilitly to thrive and make it full term.

An external shadow will not effect a baby in it’s mother’s womb :smack:

Does this type of old wives tale mentality really exist today?

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

some educated people(mashaAllah) live in west but still hold back home mentality. :@:

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

Just because they move to a first world country does not mean they become more educated neither does it mean that just because one lives in a third world country they are less educated...

I mean look at the chavs/hobos/bogans >.> sucking up our money :P

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

thank you for correcting me. :)

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

I think your cousin is pretty silly for thinking like that and I certainly wouldn't want her as a friend..

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

:rotfl:

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

I don't think its because of her location that she's silly ;p

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

its a myth. tell her to have some faith in God

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

absolutely its bad for her.

Her neighbors shadow is going to block the sunlight, which is going to block the vitamin D, that she badly needs during her pregnancy.

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

My cousins mother in law told her not to let her near her, they also told her that it did happen to other ladies and their child were not born healthy and its making my cousin so confused. I did told her its not in the hadees or quraan.

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

Only if the shadow touches the pinky toe on her left foot.

.

And my MIL told me that if I used a pair of scissors or cut anything with a knife during a lunar eclipse my baby would be born with a birth defect.

You won't find anything of the sort in any Hadith or Sunnah because Islam teaches compassion and common sense, not dhakyanoosi baatain

Listen to Slims - he knows his stuff!

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

She can't! If someone ever said something like this to me when I miscarried, they would be forever out of my life. In fact, someone said something less mean and I still cut them off.

I wouldn't need such jahil and fake "friends" and I'm sure that "best friend" would be better off without such people around her.

If something like this happens to my best friend, the last thing I'd think of is if it will affect me.

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

very well said

ye concept humaray maashray mein say kabhi hatum nahi ho sakta. i know ppl living in UK/US who are the most ufffff her lafz unkay leeye chota hai :smack:

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

jahil people!

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

easy solution ... only hang out with her at night time when u don't have a shadow ... you're welcome

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

god
she shared something personal with your cousin and she tells her family members? really? and they have a right to judge her..???

I would never ever want to be associated with this person just for being confused and fearing that she will have a miscarriage because her supposed best friend had the misfortune of having one. =/

Re: Shadow/Parchaiey

You missed my point it doesn’t matter if they live in UK/US or even if they lived in Pakistan or India they would be silly/crazy regardless..

disclaimer I’m guessing that you missed my point. I don’t really understand Urdu that well so if I’m wrong, I’m sorry.
