Fatwa against women allowing male shopkeepers help wear bangles

It may be mentioned that earlier, Darul Uloom Deoband had issued a fatwa against women allowing male shopkeepers help wear bangles.

According to the report published in TOI, cleric of Deoband termed it as sin.

It may be mentioned that the fatwa was issued after a resident of Deoband Town approached the Islamic Institute with the query, “Is it right for Muslim women to allow strange men touch their hands while helping them wear bangles”.

In reply to the query, he said that it is “haram” to allow male shopkeepers touch women’s hands.

Scholars in Deoband town supported the stand. Mufti Tariq Qasmi, a cleric supporting the fatwa said that as per Sharia, women cannot talk to strangers thus allowing male shopkeeper touch their hands is wrong.

Why do Dogs start Barking (Howling) at the time of Azan ?

Q uestions: Why do dogs cry at the time of Fajr Azan? This is an incident that I’ve noticed very often. A nswer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. There are many wonders of Allah in His Creation. Dogs are among His Creatures. It is confirmed in a Hadith that dogs see what human beings cannot see. Abu Dawud reported in his Sunan that Jabir Ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said:” If you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys by night, seek refuge in Allah, as they see what you cannot see”.

I hope that you can tell me if there is any view that regards it as permissible to swallow saliva if it has come out onto the lips, so that I can follow it, because I suffer from waswasah, and I am looking for the easiest rulings. Please note also that I do not feel entirely convinced that if the saliva has come out to the lips, swallowing it invalidates the fast. I feel that this is not logical. When I woke up from sleep, I found some saliva on the outside of my mouth, and I swallowed it deliberately.
