Salams. What a coincidence. Drop in out of curiosity and see this. May have to pop back in from time to time if enough people I know are still around. Been spending most of my online time on Quora of late.

Two criteria in evaluating whether a substance is considered an intoxicant. 1. The effect of the substance 2. Its customary usage So does it intoxicate in reasonably consumable amounts? And is it normal or typical for people to use it for that purpose? The second test is the one that clears things like vanilla extract, so long as it's used in the normal way. Drinking a glass of vanilla extract you can't do. But you can use the tablespoon called for in the baking recipe.

Let me get you straight, Haydar. You're suggesting the only thing holding women back from shacking up regularly under the same roof with multiple boyfriends is taboo? You know how much I respect you, Haydar, but that's crazy talk. Monogamy and commitment are back in again. Didn't you hear? Even the gays are getting into it. Weird. And then there's our fitra. One to one is a nice stable norm for all kinds of reasons. Relax. We need to get you married, bro. Your mind is flitting off into theoreticals too much. You need a woman to ground you.

Haydar, what's your point? Sure, if you go scrounging around, you're going to find fringes that are into all sorts of unorthodox relationships. 1-2 % are into gay relationships. Some tinier percentage are into some sort of polyamory. Yes, there's no secular argument for the government to prohibit any relationship between consenting adults. But do you want the government to have the power to tell consenting adults what relationships they can and cannot have? And for God's sake, why? It's a fringe, and will always be a fringe. People tend to monogamy, at least serial monogamy. It'

The Islamic Dilemma On Bank Interest Payment?
kadhim replied to Chair Pundit's topic in Science/Health/Economics
Bro. Show me a hadith that talks about banks. That would indeed impress me, especially since banks didn't exist until about 500 years ago. You argued this above. I challenged and contradicted that above. You didn't reply, so you ceded the point already. You argued already that inflation comes from finance money flooding the economy. Finance money comes from the banks, lent at interest. If interest is higher, money is more expensive, you don't borrow as much of it. That's one reason the rates have been near zero for the lowest rates, to keep the patient's heart pumping. I repeat this -
The Islamic Dilemma On Bank Interest Payment?
kadhim replied to Chair Pundit's topic in Science/Health/Economics
I didn't criticize you for being idealistic. I criticized you for only having idealism, for having no "in the meantime plan." I criticized you for lacking pragmatism. I honestly see no compelling evidence to suggest that non-usurious interest on varying value money is haram. None in fact. No, I don't have some sharp cutoff rule to offer as a dividng line between the two. No, I don't feel bothered about that. Moreover, I would argue that the evidence usually quoted against interest actually would imply that many zero-interest loans would be forbidden transactions, as the borrower ultimat -

Alright. That's fine. Hopefully it's clear I wasn't seriously asking a stranger on the internet for that kind of money. I'll get there myself, in time, hopefully. Sure, people should help each other. But it's going to take a mountain of work before that's an alternative to dealing with banks for education and housing. I mentioned cars before, but I'll withdraw that since it's something you can legitimately and reasonably save for and buy with cash. (Speaking as the owner of a $1500 2001 Chevy, lol) Quality housing is a tougher nut to crack, unless as a community we get organized to vertical -
The Islamic Dilemma On Bank Interest Payment?
kadhim replied to Chair Pundit's topic in Science/Health/Economics
You said people should help each other in the context of a discussion of credit. I took you seriosuly on that and asked you for help. You responded with lies and insults. So, anyway, are you going to put your money where your mouth is or not? I'd like to make an offer on the humble family home I linked to above. I specified "urban" above. Suburban is only marginally better, unless you're open to 2+ hours of commute per day. Which is its own cost. Rural one can probably get 2-3 times as much per dollar. But then there's finding a job that is the problem. $250k is a bungalow, if you're -

:wacko: :rolleyes: Must have taken you awhile to track down that many cardboard boxes, I imagine. Yeah, man. Sure. You can totally buy a family place for 80k in urban Canada. :rolleyes: 300k is a gold plated palace. Although, looks like I was off by a bit. (That's what you get when you're not actively in the market) Seems $250 000 is actually the ground floor for Montreal family dwellings. http://www.royallepage.ca/en/property/quebec/pierrefonds-roxboro-montreal/4-5e-avenue-s/2430339/mls15120076/#.VCzH0fldWKI My bad. So if you can just wire that to my account, I can make an of -
