Parting the hair: Is there any evidence indicating that it should be done on the right side?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there any indication or evidence that the hair should be parted on the right side?
The Shaykh : No, there is nothing in that regard, and this is for a reason, because this is one of the matters of custom, not related to acts of worship. The Shari'ah does not establish systems for customs, because it did not come with an explanation of them, so it leaves them for people to be free. Yes.
.
The questioner : Do you find a dispensation for a person to eat with his relatives if they are neglecting the prayer...?
The Shaykh : In the same manner that we mentioned regarding eating the wealth of usurers, if it is to reconcile their hearts and guide them, then you must maintain ties with them, first from the perspective of maintaining family ties, and second from the perspective of attempting to guide them. If they persist and become arrogant, and you see that cutting them off is beneficial for them and serves as a deterrent from their misguidance, then cut them off, and there is no blame on you.
