In the name of Allah,
most gracious, most merciful.
Aunty say, “eh! SALAM CIUM!”
I say. What crap.
The only people im obliged to kiss their hands are my parents and husband.
and teachers.
i’m thinking. do i kiss another female’s hand because of age or knowledge or status?
Had it been by age, why?
If by knowledge, yes, why not. but does she have any?
if by status as a 2nd aunt or much more distant, then, what status are you talking about?
the one thing i dislike about race is that; it somehow twines itself with religion. we people need to start separating.
Seriously people! Daun sirih must be produced upon nikah. to show that the person’s a virgin? hah! kiss my kambing.
A person’s virginity is based on the presence of that daun sirih?
If that’s the case. The whole concept has already spoken for itself on how a person’s intelligence and race can be that shallow. how a person’s dignity can stoop so low.
Let them be. Just advice them what is right. If they refuse, just move away and do not argue with them. Life is short and this life is for Him. Our relations is governed by rules within Islam yet we must never forget the only one who can save our soul is ourself. Thus do because of Him and not because of someone else. This life is for Him.
