Heavenly Jewels

Waaj ib. Yes i fshe does some work with which her expenses are taken care of, then her Nafqaa does not become Fardh on the relatives. Similarly, if a blind person etc, earns money then Nafqaa does not remain Fardh on another person. (Raddul-Muhtaar) Rule- If the husband is needy and the brother of the wife is wealthy then the brother will be ordered to spend. Thereafter, when the husband gets money, he can take it back. (Durre-Mukhtaar) Rule- If near relatives are not found but far distance relatives are, then Nafqaa becomes Waajib on the latter. (Durre-Mukhtaar) GATHERINGS OF BLESSINGS Rule- Meelad Shareef meaning discussing the birth ofRassooIlalah $ is permissible and a means of attaining innumerable blessings and benedictions. The Holy Prophet' s $ miracles, excellence, Seerat, incidents in his lifetime which are mentioned in the Quraan and Hadeeth are related in these gatherings. Muslims of the Ahle-Sunnat co­ ordinating and setting dates for Meelad, inviting and feeding people, Naath reciters reciting Naaths in praise of Rassoollalah @. with sweet voices are all al lowed and there is no reason for it to be impennissible. When printing pamphlets and posters or inviting people for Deeni lectures does not make them imperrnissib i e, then inviting people, printing posters and giving lectures of Deen and the remembrance of RassooIIalah � in a Meelad definitely does not cause it to become Bidat and Haraam. Similarly. distributing sweetmeats and feeding people food after an Eid-e-Meeladun-Nabi is permissible and saying "People believe doing so is Waajib. Therefore Meelad is Haraam" is absolutely wrong. No onebelieves doing so to be Fardh, Waajib or necessary. Durood and Salaam is also read standing in this Mehfil and the Niyyat 2 1 9
