bro dont get it twisted, dreadlocks is not haram in Islam, even a muslim can grow his hair and even plait corn rows or braid it as long as its his natural hair. thats a popular misconception. trust me i was shocked when i saw it. i guess we Nigerians and Africans Generally have somehow mixed our cultures with islam too deeply that we dont know the clear dichotomy anymore. its always good to make researches and read wide.

NotComplaining:


My guy quoting Imam Nawawis traditions is not classed as daleel so you have not brought daleel about prohibition of snakes as food.

balash:


U should check the post again! It was the Prophet sayings backed with the hadith. Read with perseverance before throwing jabs.

Mustiboy:
I was born a Muslim. I went to an Islamic school, graduated and even furthered my studies in the Islamic line. I was a devoted Muslim.
But truth be told, Islam, I must say, is full of shit. Yes! I said it. In Islam, it's Haram to touch the hair of people with this dreadlock like hair usually called DADA among the natives. Still, the Allah they believe created this DADA .
How can you tell me not to eat a snake, a cat or whatever?
When I was a Muslim, I did good because of a reward, I believe every Muslim does good because of a reward. Now that I've given up religion, I do good for the sake of good, not expecting anything from Some Allah at the other end.
There are too many rules in Islam and too much laws to abide to. If ChristIans and Muslims are going to end up in the same heaven, then I think it's totally unfair. As a Muslim, you have to do lots of things to get there, but as a Christian, all you have to do is believe in Jesus and live a good life.
Islam, I repeat, is full of shit! Can't believe I wasted 16 years of my life being a Muslim, the thought of that hurts and aggravates me

Are u seriously reading our posts or not? We are talking of 'Dada' not 'dreadlocks' dreads are done, Dada is a form where hair wasn't barbed from birth, never washed,never combed and kept in whatever shape it comes out making it so unkept and unclean? Is that acceptable in Islam? Uncleanness

NotComplaining:


Bro you merely copied and pasted an answer from Islamqa fatwa database. I am not aware of any defacto hadith prohibiting the eating of snakes (without poison).

Btw this is not an attack or jab.

balash:


What has pasting backed hadith from islamaq gotta do with what we are discussing? Is it like the hadith on islamaq is not correct or you are finding ways to embarrass your muslim brother cause I don't get the meaning of this outburst? All the post here have always been 'hadith' 'buhkari' 'the Prophet saying s.a.w' you haven't seen where I formed answer and said it's sheikh balash hadith cause am merely confused on your outburst.


Whatsoever hatred you have against me, channel it into strength and also go islamaq find good contents and bring over here, people would be pleased to rest instead of your hate outburst ok!

May Almighty Allah Forgive me and u in our daily affairs and grant us our heart desires. Salaam

NotComplaining:


Bro not everything on Islamqa is backed by hadith some are just fatwas conceived to solve a pertinent issues, derived from Fiqh al Waqi (knowledge of current affairs).

Arabs of old and new do not eat snakes and other types of animals. Therefore, these animals were not explicitly mentioned in the Sunnah in reference to consumption. Contemporary Scholars decide whether to prohibit these foods based on nakl (text) of old and new (i.e. fatwa).

In all what I am saying is that some fatwas can only be issued by established scholars of that region. Arab scholars might have an innate prejudice towards snakes as mentioned by Islamqa; snakes being evil... There is nothing in this universe that is purely evil.

Nigerian scholars are the ones to decide whether snakes are halal or haram, they know the customs of the people and transgressions. You cannot condemn the eating of snakes, rats, et al without sound Islamic text (Book of Allah and confirmed Sunnah) otherwise you are making life hard for the people.

I repeat again, I am not attacking you but I must refute wrong claims so that those reading will not feel confused. No man is an island and no man is perfect.

balash:


You making it all wrong in all perspective with the views of segregation, Do u mean there are some meals that can't be eaten in the Arab countries but if our scholars backed them up to be eaten here we should, you sounding like the Qur'an and hadith used in the Arab countries are different from the ones used in Nigeria.

If you won't follow the backed up rulings in Saudi for example, would you create another ones.

Would this scholars post fatwa's that wasn't well studied and versed before putting it online such for the whole world to see and you believe it won't be countered, some of my post from islamaq is actually done so that people can go search about it and be referenced to islamaq not because am trying to form any sheikh and from all your posts you've not yet countered my claim with evidence that I was wrong about not eating snake with the Qur'an or hadith evidence, abi u have another book you follow?

Cause this your defense is sickening already telling me what Arabs don't eat as a muslim with backed up fatwa should be deliberated here first before we eat then.

NotComplaining:


Dude you're just being argumentative and it's clear you're not a Talib (student of knowledge). If you were you'd know that Islamqa merely provided their own Ijtihaad (Opinion) based on circumstantial evidence (i.e. labelling snakes evil), without a shred of corroborating evidence.

Where in the Qur'an and Hadeeth are snakes labelled evil? They're harmful, but evil?

Lastly, Islamqa will have biases, definitely, when it comes to making Ijitihaad on customs alien to their own. Arab scholars without ilm ul waqi (knowledge of current affairs) of Nigerian customs and traditions are prohibited from issuing fatawa through ijtihaad. They can only issue a fatwa when they have evidence from the two sources.

Bro I studied at Shaikh Muqbils (RH) academy and this is what we were taught.

balash:



Stop being a pain in my ass, am not asking for your bio-data. Since you are more knowledgeable counter my claim with EVIDENCE that shows I am wrong if you can't then we are done here. Have a good day the one who 'knows' more

NotComplaining:


Clearly you want fitna and I am not about that. Sallam.

Sterope:
What does have to do with anything?
Not all hair can be combed
And dreadlocks can be brushed

balash:
Things that Allah made haram is in quran

5- Chapter: 5 , Verse: 3 Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience.and rest is halal.
and quran is complete stop making your life complicated and looking at sahi or fabricated hadith or fatwa or opinion of scholar’s. Follow Only the Qur'an or the Prophet sayings

personal59:


but the prophet ask us to follow the tabiheen and tabi-tabiheen too where do you drop that

personal59:


please I want to ask if its possible for a Muslim to have dreadlocks?

AhluSunnah:
NO SIR.. A muslim hair must be in the same level. . one part of the hair should not be higher than some other part of the hair. . . heared that there is an hadith on it..y

Sterope:
Just because y'all think Dad looks unkempt doesn't mean that it is. It is basically societal bias.

People with dreadlocks wash their hair as frequently as people with normal hair. They oil their hair the same way you oil yours and they brush it they same way we comb our hair.

Dreadlock has nothing to do with barbing hair from birth or not. It is about non-combing or having the type of hair that is prone to tangles. Which means anyone could have dreddlocks and some probably find it easier to develop dreadlocks because of their hair type. Generally, people with curly hair are more prone to it and with the curly community, there are hair types that tangles immediately after combing sef.


Also, dreadlocks is English while Dada is Yoruba.

Stop this blind argument my sister, what's all thihe Dada we are talking about is the one from birth which they don't even pour water on it, dreadlocks is different, moreover u can't as a guy have dread and be praying. U gotta comb ur hair and oil them so it looks so clean and presentable. In Islam looking good and clean is part of sunnah, how many deadlocked dude are muslim? U can leave ur hair to any length and comb, u can even plait your hair as a muslim guy. But I can't defend dreadlocks

Sterope:
Dada is the Yoruba word for dreadlocks.

A Muslim guy can have dread and look clean and presentable.

Just say you don't like dreads

balash:


Which planet are u from? U stubborn O! Chai lol

Sterope:
Yup, if it is still your hair.

Please do not mind that guy, having dreadlocks has nothing to do with length. Hair could be made into.dreadlockd artificially or you could leave your hair uncombed and watch it turn to.dread itself. Also, dreadlock had nothing to do with length. Normally, the natural hair on one side is usually longer or shorter than the hair on the other sides



AhluSunnah, you don't like dreads. Good for.you but you shouldn't be making stories up about it

personal59:

OK, but please is dread(unkept or kept) allowed islamically?

but please don't quote what u think but what is acceptable in Islam,

will need the answer from Islamic perspective, thank you as I await ur reply.

Sterope:

Sterope:
I don't have any but there are also no evidence to the contrary


And the ones claiming that is unislamic are merely substituting their personal/society dislike for it.

Deadlock is.not.atachment. it is your own hair it self. It is either left uncombed to tangle and become drelock or styled to be so (with or without attachment. It is stil your hair.

The BS that people say in those days that hair turn into dreadlock because of dirt ad debris is big fat lie. Thanks is because I know people who merely washed their hair but do not comb having dreadlocks. It is tangles if.not loosened with fingers or comb that turn into dreadlocks.
