Re: Sister fights off robber
yup, Iv'e heard of similar hadith... but that doens't mean u go out of your way to protect stuff that can be replaced, human life cant be replaced.
I mean, yeh aurat, kishi ki beti, maa, behen, biwi ho sak ti hai... so many ppl could have suffered the loss of a loved simply for the reason that she was trying to protect the $200 in the cash register!
Nope, the ahadith remain there. They are not going to change. The ahadith clearly mention the result of protecting your things and it does not say that protecting your things was going out of your (atleast it should not be in a muslim's life).
The same thing can be applied to Jihad. The Prophet and the Sahabas could've sat home or in a corner of the masjid doing 'Allah Allah.' They went "out of their way" nevertheless and fought knowing that some of them may face death also.
