@AvdullahYousef @Han31506417073 most men werent rich enough too and those who did probably had eunuchs and slave boys too

@Han31506417073 Women yap this shit with their men in all demographics as a form of gatekeeping. If the internet existed in olden times we’d have records for sure of Arab women in the 8th century losing their minds at Arab men taking Greek slave girls instead of them.

there seems to be this assumption that muslim men are incapable of dating anyone without ulterior motives dating white? using them for sex dating from back home? wants a defenseless sex slave dating brown? he thinks she cant do better than him there really is no winning lol

"People in the UAE have always respected Muslims living in the West." The UAE paid €5.7 million to a Swiss intelligence firm to compile secret dossiers on 1,000+ European Muslims and label them extremists. The European Parliament opened an inquiry into it. A Dubai investment firm co-owns GB News, the channel that calls for Muslims to be deported from Europe. This is not a fringe opinion. This is UAE foreign policy. With respect, you don't get to say this with a straight face.

What strange times we're living in 🙂‍↔️

absolutely banger

weird

@kingsinboats @caveheraa Yeah by definition dowry is a jahil practice

@caveheraa You do realise it's normative? Prettier girls also have and continue to demand higher Mehr. Except that dowry from the bride is forbidden in Islam. Different religion and it's suddenly Jahiliya? What about the Jahiliya amidst Muslim women?

We underestimate how literate people (especially Americans) were in the past. Wanna talk Islam? In 1845, 75 enslaved blacks took up arms and attempted to flee Maryland for free Pennsylvania soil. Newspapers described it as a “Hegira” without any sense of it being an alien word.

@boysoverflours taking from a woman here not equal to khula here, per Surah Baqarah

Hold on...where does the concept of women paying back their dowry to get a divorce come from when 4:19-21 from Surah Nisa read like it's instructing the exact opposite...unless a woman committed an immorality then don't make it hard for them to divorce or take the money back

Name checking Pakistan specifically to keep the Indian wife happy lmao

like the west has done anything better - bloodiest wars by sheer number, colonisation, exploitation. what is blud on about

@sshadyh @river_is_nice India and Pakistan have roughly the same Muslim population lol

@river_is_nice To be fair Pakistan is Muslim and most of India is Hindu

Westerners removed a load-bearing column, watched the basilica collapse, only to build a hovel with its ruins. What a tragedy.

@ZabAkbar what do you think about aaoifi

Riba is so hegemonic that Islamic banks have to construct convoluted contracts just to offer financial products that barely comply with the letter of the Sharia, let alone its spirit.

This is a classic example of reductionism: it takes specific legal terminology used by medieval jurists and strips away the spiritual, ethical, and social framework that gave it meaning. In fiqh, marriage is indeed a contract and this was a revolutionary protection for women because it moved marriage from "tribal capture" to a legal agreement with conditions. The Quran explicitly calls marriage “ميثاقا غليظا” (a solemn covenant) the same one used for the covenant between God and His Prophets btw, It implies a sacred bond that transcends a mere "service agreement."
Even jurists defined the legal threshold of marriage as the permissibility of intimacy, they defined its purpose through the Quranic concepts tranquility, affection, and mercy Imam Al-Ghazali in Ihya Ulum al-Din wrote extensively that the "contract" is merely the legal floor; the "marriage" is the spiritual building of a family. U suggest mahr is a purchase price. This is legally incorrect in Sunni fiqh. Ownership: In a purchase (sale), the money goes to the seller. In Islam, the mahr goes directly and exclusively to the woman. If a man were "buying" a body, he would pay her father or guardian (as was the case in pre-Islamic Arabia). By mandating that the woman keeps the wealth, Islam defined her as a legal party with agency, not a commodity. Allah calls mahr a nihlah (a gracious gift). Jurists used the term "consideration" ('iwad) in a technical legal sense to ensure the contract was binding and that the woman’s rights were enforceable in court, but they explicitly distinguished this from thaman (price of a good). u exploit the word malik (ownership) to suggest women were property but there’s a distinction between milk al-raqabah (ownership of the person/neck) and milk al-mut'ah/nikah (ownership of the right to intimacy). Marriage is not Property: A husband does not own his wife’s person. He cannot sell her, lease her, or gift her. He has a "right to intimacy" that is reciprocal (the wife also has the right to sexual fulfillment, as emphasized by the Hanbali and Maliki schools). Jurists used "ownership" language because it was the most robust legal language available at the time to define exclusive rights and prevent third-party interference. It was a tool for legal clarity, not a moral statement that a woman is an object. And Islam did not "explicitly allow" the introduction of slavery; it inherited a world where slavery was the global economic engine. It then moved to limit and eventually choke it off. Sunni law restricted the sources of slavery almost exclusively to captives of a "just war" (jihad), forbidding the kidnapping or debt-slavery common in other empires. If an enslaved woman bore a child to her master, she could no longer be sold and was automatically freedupon the master's death.

 This transformed her status from "property" to a member of the family with permanent legal protections. Classical Islam holds that all humans possess Karāmah (God-given dignity). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your slaves are your brothers... feed them from what you eat and clothe them with what you wear" (Bukhari). This is the opposite of “commodification.”

This clown will cite feminist modernists on one fringe technical point in contracts on his contrived attempt to add nuances to the discourse. Missing the forest for the trees.

@IbneKhan01 Maybe clarify if you’re against surrogacy and prostitution first lol

Classical Islam explicitly allowed the purchase of women’s bodies via slavery, and defined nikāḥ as a contract granting sexual access in exchange for mahr. Opposing “commodification” of women’s bodies is a modern moral stance, not a classical Islamic one.

@IbneKhan01 @Livinginthis @LisanAlVibe Are you seriously bringing screenshots from Hina Azam’s book to support your point when she is, at best, a reformist/modernist? Footnotes themselves state difference between categorical prohibition and situational difference Still a sin and punishable by tazir

@Livinginthis @LisanAlVibe Imam Abu Hanifah being the most notable, among other Hanafi scholars.

There’s a reason why most muslim men end up only marrying one woman. I’m convinced you marry one and find out women are lowkey disgusting.

@mo_zhar @caveheraa then ive met many insane men

Tabarruj becoming justifiable to satisfy man’s carnal curiosity beyond the halal is … something of a “preference”.

@Bobbythirdway he’s a moron

“Just sell your home and move.”
