No one forced me to convert’, Hadiya tells media as she goes to Delhi for SC hearing






Hadiya, the woman at the centre of a religious conversion case, on Saturday said that she was not forced to convert to Islam and that she wanted to be with her husband. She said that she “wanted justice”.



Hadiya made the statements at Kochi airport while on her way to Delhi. She is travelling to the Capital to appear before the Supreme Court in the case on Monday, November 27. Her remarks come soon after her husband Shafin Jahan filed a complaint claiming some people were trying to convert her back to Hinduism.
She is travelling by air instead of by train because of security concerns, The News Minute reported. “Though the decision was to take her to Delhi by train, we were asked by the government to arrange air travel as there were security concerns about the train journey,” one of her father Ashokan’s lawyers told the website.
Ashokan has alleged that his daughter, whose name was Akhila before she converted, was forced to change her religion and that attempts were made to make her join a terrorist group. Hadiya has been with her parents since the Kerala High Court annulled her marriage and placed her in their custody in May this year. The Kerala Women’s Commission chief was not allowed to meet Hadiya earlier this month.

What Is the Correct Time to Break Fasting?

Q uestion : As-salamu `alaykum. I was in a gathering a few days ago. I was disturbed to see people divided on the issue of when to break the fasting. I saw one group breaking with the adhan over the Radio (Ramadan program), while another group still waiting with dates in their hands for the adhan to finish. What is the sound Islamic ruling on this issue? A nswer : The time for breaking the fast is the time of sunset. So if the sun sets at 4:56 pm, it is the correct time to break the fast. It is immaterial whether the adhan has been called or not. To wait for the adhan to be called after the sun has set, or to wait for the adhan to finish, is a violation of the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as he has stated clearly, “My Ummah will always enjoy blessings so long as they hasten to break their fast (as soon as the sun has set).”(Al-Bukhari and Muslim) The traditions are explicit on the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)...
