asalaamalaikumWRWB
Allah bless you all, especially Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani (Q) and Hajah Naziha and Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Q) for filling in the voids of our knowledge and and for putting up with our heavy amal and sins to help lighten our loads.
question concerning pakistani reasons for doing certain things.overtime when certain things were done the elders in my family would say you shouldnt do this because of so and so. .
1) When wearing a hat or Turban, the front of the hair should be covered,the reason being, shaitaan urinates on the head of whom wears the hat/turban with out it covering the(fringe)??
2) When reading on a prayer mat, if we leave the prayer mat out on the floor as in same position then i have been told shaitaan then reads on that prayer mat?
3) Killing spiders is biiiiig Haram? I understand klling anything is wrong. Is killing spiders any more different to killing just say a bee. Jazakallah
Answer:
Alaykum salam
All three claims are baseless. There is certainly no sin if front hair shows when wearing a hat or Turban or when leaving the prayer mat in place. As for spiders they are of the fuwaysiqa or small animals the Prophet permitted killing (but not bees).
