Re: snow is haram?
I heard that canadian snow is haram because we have distilleries in the country that evaporate alcohol leaving the falling slow ladden with alcohol. So what must one do to protect their faith?
Imam Ali a.s said, if i know that a drop of alcohal is droped at land and then grass grew up thier which was eaten by goat, and goat gets slaugtered ( zibah i think thats the rite word) properlly and then goat was cooked and then i am offered a peace of meat of that goat, i Wudnt eat that .......
(offcourse i didnt use exact same wording)
thats how bad alcohal is .... soo i think a person shld be careful, as much careful as much he can, but i dunt think that snow is haram !!!!!
another example .... Swedge lines in some places r open, specially in pakistan... now that nijaas water evaporates in air .... which then rains .... that means if u get ur clothes wet in rain water, then u cant pray in em, but i havent heared any scholar saying that rain water is nijas , instead i've heared An angel comes with every rain drop and am not sure if that applies on snow as well.
We can think either way and declare it haram or halal which means we dont have enough knowledge and ALLAH knows the best, Islam is very simple ..... i dunt think that snow shld be haram but ask some scholar !!!!
wasalam.
