This is advice from the website Sunni path. It is so weird and silly, I wonder what they are thinking?? It is from an article , THE GOLDEN RULES FOR RAISING CHILDREN_

 

The child should be told not to sleep during the day because it creates laziness but he/she should not be stopped from sleeping at night. However, the child should still be stopped from sleeping on a soft bed so that the child�s bodily organs will get strong and the body will not get disfigured, due to which the child will not be able to live without comforts. Instead, the habits of sleeping on hard beds, wearing non-fine (simple) clothes, eating simple food should be instilled in the child. The child should be stopped from doing things in a clandestine way because he/she knows that it�s bad, that�s why the child hides it. If it�s ignored, then the child will develop the habit of doing bad things.

Similarly, the habit of walking during the day and exercising should be instilled in the child so that he/she does not become lethargic and lazy. However, utmost care must be taken to ensure that the child does not expose his/her head, knees, thighs, etc. Furthermore, the child should not walk too fast nor should keep his/her hands loose [which is a sign of laziness] but instead, the child should keep his/her hands close to the body and should be active.

You cant be a good muslim if you are not decent and have a cold heart. Be a decent and kind person and care for women and children and the elderly.

Really really people, where the heck does this weird stuff come from? Sleep on a hard bed or your organs will be disfigured? The person who wrote this sounds like a sheep herder from a village and they post it as scholarly advice on a popular website. Please, lets stop following all of this ridiculous advice and get to the truth ourselves. READ, read the Quran, it gives you the idea of how to be a good parent. Be kind, firm, teach your children, protect them ect ect. But the advice at this site is bizarre and useless!!

Another good one, ladies  I hope you don't fly alone or drive more that 48 miles to visit your parents!!!!

 

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Is it permissible for a woman to travel alone to visit her parents (with her husband's permission) when the parents live beyond 48 miles from her residence?


In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

The majority position is that it is not permitted for women to travel alone beyond city limits for more than 48 miles, because of the outward purport of many hadiths of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that no woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day should do so.

However, as the answers below detail, there is some leeway in this according to established positions within Sunni scholarship, when there is obvious need or recognized benefit that cannot be reasonably fulfilled otherwise.

And Allah alone gives success.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani

As-Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

That reminds me on the hadith of leaving your husband if he doesnt convert after you convert. That is  a choice for the individual, and is between a woman and Allah alone. Sometimes the men should just stay out of it unless the sister is threatened! Masha'allah for the female Ummah!

 

"Every good deed is charity whether you come to your brother's assistance or just greet him with a smile.

Dear Sister,

I think that what you said about raising children is really bizarre! I have no idea where it came from!
Now, about driving 48 miles to see your parents. Gee, what is wrong with that if your husband gives you permission to go see them? When our Prophet(PBUH) said a hadith, he would give advice under the circumstance of some peoples condition. We shouldn't say that we can not visit ones parents with your husbands permission. Some people make our religion so hard when it is not. Oh well, let people be people I guess.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said "Be kind, for whenever kindness becomes part of something, it beautifies it.Whenever it is taken from something, it leaves it tarnished." (IMAM BUKHARI)

Assalamu Alaikum:

There are contradictary Hadith about women travelling. It should be noted that scholars settled on the 88 kilo or 48 mile rule That was probably the distance that could be covered in three days at the time of the Prophet(PBUH).  I would think that in this day and time you could travel almost any distance in three days.

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallaahu Anhu) reported that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'It is not permitted for a woman who has faith in Allah and the last day to make a journey of a day and night.'

Abu Saeed (Radhiyallaahu Anhu) reported Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying, 'It is not permitted for a woman who brings faith in Allah and the Last Day to make a journey of more than three days unless she is accompanied by either her father, brother, husband, son or a relative who is her Mahram.'

Hadhrat ibn Umar (Radhiyallaahu Anhuma) reported Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying, 'A woman must not make a journey of three days unless accompanied by a relative who is her Mahram.'

It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. (The Little Prince)
