Shaheed Insha'Ala, may Allah accept, may He forgive him and have mercy on him and may he by the will and grace of Allah be roaming about in Jannah right now in a green bird.
Lets say you wanted to register for the Quranic Sciences course, you would do the following:
Click on the first link I gave, then scroll down to the Qur'anic sciences course poster. Click on that and it will take you to THIS page with the course information. After that, click on "Add to Cart" button, then it will take you to another page where it tells you how much you will be charged (a grand total of $0.00 since the course is free), then scroll down and click "Proceed to Check out". Read the important rules written in purple, then scroll down and fill in necessary information and make an account. Easy, Alhamdulillah.
You have a little more than 2 days to register for any of the courses, so Insha'Allah, don't delay. Also don't forget to convert the timings to your own time zone (if necessary), as the lessons are live.
Today a junior of our uni showed me how he was using unlimited and high speed internet by activating a very limited package. He just changed some settings in modem's software and used another small software. Finally he changed network settings of firefox.
I request to experts to shed light on the whole matter and inform me whether it's permissible or not. (I'm guessing it's not permissible).
As far as I know, the khamr vs. non-khamr position is specific to the Hanafi madhab. However, I believe shafi'i 'ulema give leeway to the masses in that they allow them to follow the Hanafi school with regards to non-khamr alcohol products (i.e. perfume, cream, medication etc...) This is permissible because the entire principle is based off of umoom balwa.
As a brother quoted your post in the original thread, non-khamr alcohol is even found in bread in small amounts. Hence the necessity for the application of umoom balwa comes into play. I do follow Mufti Desai's fatwa on the hurmat of soft drinks, because (1) soft drinks are something that could be easily avoided and (2) there are secondary health benefits to giving up such drinks. Amazingly, I did not even have to do any mujaahadaat to give up soft drinks. One day I just decided to follow Mufti Desai's opinion, and I haven't had a soft/fizzy drink since. Alhamdulillah.
Somewhat random: Please don't say "Mufti Desai." It's often unclear who is being referred to (not necessarily here, but at other times). It would be more precise to say "Mufti Ebrahim Desai" when you refer to the Head Mufti of Ask Imam and "Maulana A.S. Desai" when you refer to the Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa. Some people also refer to Maulana A.S. Desai as "Mufti" but most `Ulamaa' refer to him as "Maulana" such as Mufti Hashim Boda here. He is also referred to as "Maulana" on The Majlis websites if you go to the Audio Bayaans section. Sorry for being a little pedantic.
Concerning the brother's foolish objection, he need only click here and see the first few results. It is indeed a silly contention to bring up. It's not necessary for me to reply in that thread.
What if someone says "Laa Hawla wa Laa Quwwata"? I've heard a few people say this as jawaab of hearing "Hayya `alas salaah" in Adhaan. I don't know if this is out of laziness or something else.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
