Assorted Questions
 

Assalamu Alaikum,

Hope all of you are well and taking advantage of the sacred month of Muharram. Just a few questions:

1) Hypothetically: When my parents will pass away (and if I am still alive), my uncles and aunts will want to hold ''challisha'' and other bidatti activities e.g. having a milad gathering after 3 days, 40 days and feeding people. Unfortunately, I may have no choice but to join in (I can't boycott these events since it involves my own parents!). Is there anything you would suggest I could do?


Wassalam wa Jazakumullah Khair

Salaam all

Really ancient thread - But does anyone have suggestions re: Question No. 1 above?

is it biddah o celebrate chaliswa? Even if they dont serve food.
Do u hve any other islmic person n ur family.. You'l hve supprt then.
Tell ur parents to write tht in their wills

As far as I understand, it is a bid'ah.

Jazaki Allah Khair for your advice. The only way is if I speak to my parents and convince them. If it's included in the wills, even their brothers and sisters (my aunts and uncles) won't dare to go against it inshaAllah.

akhi you shafi right. have you ever found a shafi' scholar against maulid. have you ever found a scholar that said that feeding people is haraam.

what is a challisha?

Salaam Bro

It's been discussed here:

Basically has roots in hindu culture.

Just as an example - as per Shaykh Ramadan al Bouti - it's a reprehensible bid'ah!

it cant have roots in hindu culture if you find it in remote villagers in Arabia, Africa & SE Asia. I have sat with great ulama who gather for a anual khatam. some of those ulama are seen as the top shafi' ulama of our time.

what does sheikh Bouti say?

what is chalisha exactly.
