Aashirwad Or Blessing In Indian Culture
The last phrase makes me hesitant to agree. From what I have read in the Quran, people were punished based on what they thought INSIDE of them, which included the most silent of their “intentions”. Allah does not disregard intentions. However, this understanding of mine can be superceded by a “rule” stated somewhere, that you referred to in last message.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO-gZqwql9U Im not sure how to interpret what ghamidi sahab said in the video. But if touching feet is HARAM we will have to leave it. As for shirk,the problem is I have read verses in Quran like Surah nisa ayat 48. I understand leaving social customs,is hard. Minorities may feel they are outcast and may feel left out by giving up cultural practices. But one day we shall be judged. Most people consider ghamidi sahab as lenient,but he has expressed disapproval of ruko. May Allah make it easy for us.
