		<description>Assalamoalaikum brother,

I recently purchased Dr Khalsa's book regarding brain longevity after coming across your website. The book contains very beneficial information regarding the brain and how to make the most out of it. I am quite skeptical about the mind/body (yoga) exercises though. Could you please inform me if these exercises are permissible or haraam for muslims.

		<description>dear brother ibn abbas..
assalamualikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

in our maliki fiqh if one touches with the back of his palm or fingers then the woudhu doesnt break , rather the breaking of woudhu happens if the inside of the palm is involved.. and so the hadeeth that you have quoted from the muwatta of imam malik could be in reference to the situation of the back side of fingers or hands..but Allah knows best and may He forgive me where i have erred..barakallaho feikom</description>

		<title>Comment on The Shurut  of Salah According to Hanbali Fiqh by Abdul Malik</title>
		<link>http://seekingilm.com/archives/10#comment-12819</link>

		<description>Dear brothers, I have some questions on tahara according to hanbali madhhab, and I hope you can help me.

1) Are hanbalis allowed to eat seafood other than fishes (i.e. crabs, squids, lobsters, et cetera)? Are all the internal and external parts of their bodies (living or dead) pure?

2) If both pure and impure substances falls in less than 216 liters of water, the water is filth even if there’s no change in colour, smell or taste (CST) or they are changed only by the pure substances, and if both pure and impure substances falls on more than 216 liters of water, the water is pure if there’s no change in CST or CST are changed only by pure substances, and filthy if CST are changed by impure substances. Is it right according to the Hanbali School?

3) If an halal animal or a human (even a disbeliever) drink from more or less than 216 liters of water, the rest of the water is pure even if they has eaten najasat. If an haram animal drink from more than 216 liters of water, the rest of the water is pure as long as it don’t change in CST, but if it is less than 216 liters of water, the water is impure even if it don’t change in CST. Is it correct?

4) Is this list of najasat correct? There are other najasat besides the following in the hanbali madhhab? 

a. Feces, urine and post-urinatory fluid, male pre-eiaculatory fluid, female vaginal-lubrification fluid, and vomit of a human being, living or dead. As for the rest of the internal and external parts of a living or dead human body (sperm, female ejaculatory fluids, milk, saliva, sweat, tears, et cetera), they are pure.
b. Blood and pus (and other similar fluids from wounds) of all humans and animals (both halal and haram), living or dead. But a small amount that doesn’t break ritual purity is forgiven if it come from human beings or animals that are pure when alive (i.e halal animals and haram animals smaller than a cat). As for all other kinds of impurities, they are not forgiven even in a small amount (but any kind of impurity is forgiven if it is in a extreme small amount, such as a drop of urine as small as the head of a needle).
c. Every internal and external part (urine, feces, sperm, vomit, hairs, bones, saliva, tears et cetera), of a living haram animal bigger than a cat (pigs, dogs, donkeys, lions, eagles, et cetera). As for all living halal animals, cats, and the living haram animals smaller than a cat (insects, rats, et cetera), all of their external and internal parts (except blood, pus and similar fluids from wounds) are pure, but if the majority of their feed is filth, then their urine and post-urinatory fluid, feces, vomit, sperm or female ejaculatory fluid, pre-ejaculatory fluid or vaginal-lubrication fluid, and milk are impure until they stop from eating impurities for three days).
d. Every internal and external parts (urine, feces, sperm, vomit, hairs, bones, saliva, tears et cetera) of a dead animal (both pure or impure when alive), except those slaughtered or hunted according to the Sharia (but if they are haram to eat, they remain impure even in this case), fishes, locusts, and those without flowing blood. As for animals slaughtered or hunted according to the Sharia, fishes, locust, and animals without flowing blood, all of their external and internal parts (except blood, pus and similar fluids from wounds) are pure even when dead.
e. Body limbs that are cut from a living pure or impure animal with flowing blood (as for things that can be taken from an halal animal without causing it pain or making it die, like hairs or wool, they are pure). 
f. All of the alcoholic beverages (and also soaps, perfumes and medicines made with alcohol), and all kind of drugs (as for their ashes, they remain impure).</description>

		<description>You mentioned the ahadith in the Muwatta' transmitted by Imam Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, so I read those narrations. One of he marfu hadith in the muwatta goes as follows:

Muhammad said: "Ayyub ibn Utbah at Taymi, the qadi of al-Yamamah informed us from Qays ibn Talq that his father narrated to him that a man asked the Messenger of Allah about a man's touching the penis, "Should he do wudu?" He said, "Is it anything but a part of your body?"

Is this Qays ibn Talq the son of the same Talq ibn Ali that you mentioned before, and is he considered weak?</description>

		<description>Assalamulaiakum. Can someone please help me with this hadith

Volume 7, Book 64, Number 268: 
Narrated Abu Huraira: 

"The Prophet said, 'The best alms is that which is given when one is rich, and a giving hand is better than a taking one, and you should start first to support your dependents.' A wife says, 'You should either provide me with food or divorce me.' A slave says, 'Give me food and enjoy my service." A son says, "Give me food; to whom do you leave me?" The people said, "O Abu Huraira! Did you hear that from Allah's Apostle ?" He said, "No, it is from my own self." 

it seems as if abu hurairah made up the hadith. please help explain</description>
