But according to this verse can we say that we should not spend money on these matters ?
I am sorry I couldn’t understand your point still. There are two possibilities. 1. Qur’an only referred to 7th century Arab Pagans as Mushriks. All the rules which Qur’an verses say about dealing with Mushriks only applied to the 7th century Arab Pagans and are not applicable anymore in current world polytheists. It would mean that the verse is not eternally applicable. OR 2. When Qur’an referred to people as Mushriks, it referred to ALL those people who commit the act of shirk, and for all the time. I think only one of the two options can be correct, both can’t be correct at the same time. So, I requested to clarify your position, which option/interpretation do you accept ?
You are missing the point. It’s a sin for me if i do it and not for them since they believe their religion is right. You need respect their view.
There are many things God does which he doesn’t want humans to do.
That’s your personal choice, and I respect that. Generally my personal approach is to stick to the principles and not base my beliefs and actions on perceived outcomes. As for the nation state – that’s the reality of the day! 😊
I would love Faisal bhai to explain this: the way Ghamidi sahab explains it makes me think it kind of a sadd e zaria category. Because it leads to addiction and a possibility of a human child coming into this world is made very common and that leads to multitudes of problems with single mothers abortions etc
That Hadith is not an absolute order, it is with reference to a person’s domain of responsibility as a parent or as a leader for example. (Contrary to what you said, the Hadith doesn’t say that a Muslim is not a believer in the end) The idol worship is an evil act by nature, but a person doing idol worship is not evil but is a subject of Dawah and therefore, there is freedom for him to practice his religion until the time of ittemam-e-Hujjat by a Rasul himself.
Unless that principle of understanding hadith clearly comes up with a different meaning than what Prophet intended, it is pointless discussion. Hadith wasn’t specific to any particular evil act, let’s not insert our understanding to the direct and clear words of God or Prophet.
