Islam is beautiful religion as it touches all aspect of human life.

Among the manners prescribed by the shari’ah is that the Muslim should say when he commences intercourse with his wife:

"bismillaah, oh Allaah, shield us from Satan and keep him away from us and from what You [may] bestow upon us (i.e. children)" narrated by Al-Bukhari, Fath ul-Baari # 138

[transliteration: "bismillaah, allaahumma jannibnash-shaytaana wa jannib-ash-shaytaana maa razaqtana"]

This opening invocation is useful in that if Allaah blesses the husband and the wife with a child, this child will not be harmed by Satan.

Modern devices, social media and the internet provide us with breaking news almost as it happens. Never before was it so easy to be in touch with the world. Sadly, the benefits of such advancement have been overshadowed by its misuse. The same technology that brings us news in a flash is also used to spread misinformation, hoax messages, lies, slander, gossip and deception. These messages in turn create anxiety, panic, rage, protests, violence and a whole host of problems in society. Spreading misinformation through lies, gossip, slander and deception is a major sin.

The chief weapon of Dajjal (The great deceiver) will be lies, misinformation and deceit. The real challenge of the information age is to be truthful.

Many of us can relate to receiving messages from well-meaning family members or friends with dubious content or that are unverified. Many of us are also guilty of forwarding such information with 'good intentions', only to find out later that the information was false and potentially disruptive.

At times, Shaytan misguides people by engaging them in a 'cause' they assume to be noble but in reality causes tremendous harm by peddling false information about families, scholars, organisations and their representatives. This entails cynism,

disrespect, untruths, assumptions and false information – all in the name of 'truth'.

The Noble Qur'an condemns spreading information without verification.

O you who believe! If an evil-doer comes to you with important news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance [out of haste in belief and making decision], and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done. (Hujrat Verse 6)

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Deliberation and forethought should go into everything except for deeds pertaining to the Hereafter.” (Abu Dawud)

Another Hadith states: “Deliberation is from Allah and haste is from Shaytan.” (Tirmizi)

May Allah Ta'ala help us to guard what we say and protect us from spreading information that is harmful.

In Islam, Miserliness is a blameworthy characteristic, and what disease can be worse than miserliness? The scholars have differed concerning its definition.

Ibn Muflih (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The scholars mentioned a number of opinions concerning the definition of miserliness, including the following:

1. Withholding zakaah; the one who gives it cannot be described as a miser.

2. Withholding obligatory spending, such as zakaah and maintenance. Based on that, if a person gives zakaah but withholds other kinds of obligatory spending, then he is regarded as miserly. (This view was favoured by Ibn al-Qayyim and others).

3. Doing that which is obligatory in terms of spending as well as (extra) acts of generosity and charity. If a person does not do the latter, then he is regarded as miserly. (This view was favoured by al-Ghazali and others). End quote from al-Aadaab ash-Shar‘iyyah (3/303).

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The miserly person is the one who withholds what he is required to give. The one who gives all that he is obliged to give cannot be called miserly; rather the miserly person is the one who withholds what is due from him to give.

End quote from Jalaa’ al-Afhaam (p. 385). Al-Qurtubi (5/193) said something similar.

Al-Ghazali (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The miserly person is the one who withholds when he should not withhold, either according to Islamic teaching or according to common decency. This is not something that can be quantified.

End quote from Ihyaa’ ‘Uloom ad-Deen (3/260).

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said something similar:

Miserliness is withholding what is obligatory and what should be given.

End quote from Sharh Riyaadh as-Saaliheen (3/410).


Secondly:

A man is obliged to spend on his wife and children on a reasonable basis. That includes providing food, drink, clothing, shelter, and everything the wife and children need that is essential, such as medical treatment, education and so on.

That spending should be according to the husband’s means and his financial situation, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it”

[at-Talaaq 65:7].

The obligatory spending on one’s wife and children varies according to how well off or otherwise the husband is. Whoever is well off should spend as one who is well off spends on his wife and children; if he imposes constraints on them in terms of spending, then he is regarded as miserly, because he is failing to do what is enjoined upon him.

The one who is not well off should spend as one who is not well off spends. Whoever is of moderate means should spend according to his situation, and Allah does not burden any soul with more than He has given it.

There is no set limit for that according to Islamic teaching; rather reference should be made to what is customary among the people.

See the answer to question no. 3054.

Conclusion:

The one who withholds his wealth from his wife and children when he should spend on them is a miser.

And Allah knows best.

You have said the truth. I know someone whose visa was denied on the basis that the office for foreign students could not pick calls. In fact, you are talking with fact. I can attest to all what you wrote here sir.

tosintonero:
Please do not lead people astray. Many Nigerians regardless of their status will regret their journey to SA because South Africans are hostile to black foreigners especially those from the western, eastern and northern part of Africa. You claimed you have lived in SA for more 11 months. I also lived in SA for three years. As a matter of fact, I got my master's degree in SA and I was a lecturer in a University in KZN before I left in 2016. It is not only sad that a Nigerian would say that 80-90% of Nigerians in SA are undocumented and illegal, but this is also an unfortunate statement. Did you conduct a census to determine your statistics? According to the latest data from Statistics SA, the number of Nigerians in SA are about 100,000. Are you saying 90,000 of them are undocumented? I don't know what you do in SA, but I will tell you from my own experience as a student and a worker that there are many Nigerian students and academics in SA. As far as I am concerned, you cannot be registered or even be given a job in these institutions without a paper. Your job will be terminated, your salary will stop the day your visa expires and your bank account will be frozen after one or two months. I guess you have only lived in South Africa, apart from Nigeria. But may I ask you how many times you have to carry your passport around? How many times do you have to show your passport and provide your home address before any transaction can be done? It is like everyone just want to re-assess your immigration status and that is why you have to keep supplying your passport with visa even to those whose job does not have anything to do with immigration. In New Zealand, the only time you show your visa is your first day and no one will ever ask you for your identity ever again. You don't even need your passport for local travel within New Zealand. The first thing they will tell you during your orientation is to keep your passport safe and get something called an 18+ card to minimise the loss of your passport. The 18+ card is held by both locals and foreigners and you only show this card when you have to buy alcohol.

When I first came to SA, despite having a two-year visa and a home that I was renting, it took me almost 3 weeks before I could open a bank account in FNB. The same thing applies to many people. The same bank account that I could not open in three weeks in SA took me less than 20 minutes in New Zealand. The difference is that NZ banks are not asking me to provide my admission letter and other impossible documents or any letter from my landlord or to provide certified documents of the originals that I was already carrying. They just go to the immigration website to verify my visa status. Okay, now let's say you are working in SA, how many times did you have to prove that you can be trusted by other SAns. How many times do you have to pander to your boss or students to get your contract renewed? How many times do you have to work extra and unpaid just to prove that you are a good worker that should be retained? In fact, I know of my foreigners with PR that did not get a job because their PR was gotten after 1994. The people with papers, can't get jobs, talkless of those without paper. Of course, I have met few Nigerians who paid the Nigeria Football Federation money to come to SA as a fan supporter during the 2010 world cup and they have been living as illegals since then, hoping that marrying a South African lady would help them get papers. This is also not to mean that some Nigerians are not into drug dealing. There are some areas in Durban where you will see the presence of loud Nigerians. But that does not translate to the fact that 80-90% Nigerians are illegals. Have you asked yourself why SA have not scrapped the fee remission for master's by research and PhD for foreigners? Do you know that the population of Nigerians and other black Africans are what is sustaining some departments from closing down? An average Nigerian lecturer in SA will face targeted harassment from colleagues and students because they see us as desperados who are fleeing from our own country. That is why during course and teacher evaluation, no matter how much effort you have put into the course, the students will be saying horrible things to get you fired. The reason is that they know they have power over you. The power imbalance between average SAns and other African migrants is visible and that is why someone like you will say 80-90% of Nigerians are illegals because the vertical violence that they have projected on you have made you think lesser of yourself. For you to be accepted by them, you must talk bad about your own people. In 2016, 2017/2018, my wife did photographic research of the experience of black african students in SA and even that of black south africans and during the photovoice, it emerged that the broken bottles, the violence and the aggression were to make foreigners feel unwelcome and to look after their shoulders. Regardless of how much you can portray your lived experience of SA as a haven, I can bet that you must have been asked a couple of times when you are going back home? Does that seem a harmless question to you? As a student in SA, I have seen SA immigration falsely accusing people of submitting fake health insurance and only backed down when the lawyers of the insurance company got involved. It may not affect you now, but it does not mean people are not been treated unjustly. For anyone who cares to listen, stay away from SA because the psychological impact of being a Nigerian in SA outweighs any benefits that you think your being there will afford you.

Caution has been thrown to the wind.

Ladies becoming more & more objects of sexual gratification as they are only know for the contours on their body.

Men are becoming more irresponsible.

Adolescents are getting more involved in music, drugs and fornication.

LGBT+(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual) are gaining more recruits as the day goes by.

Parents are more arrogant as well as the kids are ignorant. Arrogance and ignorance can also be interchanged. And in some cases parents and kids suffer from acute arrogance and ignorance to the injunction of Allah.

We ask Allah to grant us success in this world and may He not let us lose the hereafter for this world. Aamin.

In sha Allah, we hope to be having a quiz henceforth every week in order to refresh our knowledge about Islam.

Today, we start with simple question many people will fail.

Let us see how versed are you in the basic knowledge of Islam!

The question of this week is:

Where is Allah (God)?

Introduction

From all corners of the globe, slogans of freedom are constantly chanted. The call for freedom of speech, children wanting their freedom, women demanding freedom, etc, are commonly heard. The demand for freedom has spiralled out of proportion to such an extent that children want ‘freedom’ from their aged parents. Parents want ‘freedom’ from their children. As a result in most instances there is gross neglect of responsibilities which eventually ends up in a total breakdown of the structure of society.

The demand for freedom has further progressed into the sphere of religion. No longer do people wish to be ‘restrained’ by religion. Instead, there is a general crave for freedom. At times, it is a desire for total freedom from religion, whilst in other cases the demand is for some form of ‘relaxation’ in some aspects of religion. Statements like, ‘orthodox’, ‘old fashioned’, ‘backwards ‘ etc are all the products of this drive towards freedom. Deen is not the invention of any human. It is not something that can be fashioned according to a person’s taste. Allah Ta`ala declared the Deen of Islam to be perfect. Hence, demanding some form of relaxation means that –Allah forbid- Deen is incomplete.

Careful reflection will reveal that this world has been designed in such a way that it is impossible to enjoy total freedom. No government or organisation advocates complete freedom. Instead, there is and will always be some degree of restriction in order to have a balanced society. Today, the promoters of freedom themselves hold their heads in bewilderment over the ‘monster’ they have created. The thirst for freedom can never be quenched. It goes on until the individual demands complete freedom- freedom to do whatever he or she pleases. Freedom from marital obligations, from morals, modesty, freedom from everything including-Allah Forbid- even religion and God!

Let us take a cursory glance at those communities that have embraced this ‘free culture’. What is the result? Daughter impregnated by her own biological father. Mother mercilessly murdered by her own child for a few pennies of life insurance. Innocent children abused for the satisfaction of desires. Why? All this is the result of the ‘free culture’ wherein there is absolutely no restriction as to what an individual may do in order to gratify himself. Over and above all of this is the effort made, again in the name of ’freedom’, to justify some of these heinous, hair rising, despicable acts!

Perhaps this drive has been fuelled by the passion for entertainment and desire for enjoyment. The focal point of people’s lives has become entertainment. A holiday barely comes to an end when the next is already planned. Families are sacrificed for the sake of entertainment. Problems creep into a new marriage when the husband is too busy with his friends entertaining himself. Children are discarded in day care centres because their parents ‘need’ to have some time to themselves. Jobs are jeopardised because of entertainment, etc, etc.

Complete freedom will be enjoyed only in the hereafter. Every person, in his or her capacity, has some level of responsibility in this world. A husband has the responsibility of his wife. Parents have the responsibility of the correct upbringing of their children. Children have the responsibility of taking care of the parents. Teachers shoulder the responsibility of the students. An employee has the responsibility of performing as per the demands of the job. Thus there is no escape from responsibility. Nabi ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) is reported to have said, “Each one of you is a shepherd and each one of you will be questioned regarding his flock”.

Whilst there is no objection to entertainment when it is within the parameters of Shariah, the culture of fun and entertainment which has erupted is in NO way justifiable. Likewise, the ‘free culture’ as well is in contradiction with the teachings of our pure and pristine Sharia`h. Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam is reported to have said, “The world is a prison for the Believer and paradise for the disbeliever”(Muslim). Just as a prisoner cannot behave as he wishes, likewise a mu`min cannot do whatever he pleases in this world. He is bound and restricted by the command of his loving Master, Allah Ta`ala.

Question
The television is in my father and mother’s bedroom, and I want to play Qur’an on the television, but because my father is elderly, he urinates in a bottle and leaves it in the room. Is it permissible for me to turn on the television and tune into the Qur’an channels, knowing that the place is regarded as unclean or impure (najis)?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

Part of the etiquette of interacting with the Holy Qur’an is not to recite it in filthy places, or in places where people relieve themselves.

Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Fadaa’il al-Qur’an (p. 149):

With regard to reciting Qur’an in the lavtory , it is obviously makrooh (disliked), and if we say that it is haraam, out of respect for the Qur’an, that would be a sound view. End quote.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said, explaining the etiquette of reading or reciting the Holy Qur’an:

Part of that etiquette is not to read or recite Qur’an in filthy places, or in gatherings where no one will listen to it, because reciting it in such places is disrespectful towards it. It is not permissible to recite Qur’an in lavatories and the like, which are prepared for the purpose of urination or defecation, because that is not befitting to the Holy Qur’an,

End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa ash-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (20/277).

Secondly:

This ruling does not apply to a room in which a sick or elderly person urinates into a bottle, because this room cannot be described as being unclean or impure (najis); rather it is pure (taahir), and the impurity is limited to the bottle only.

It is proven in the hadith that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) had a vessel that he would keep with him in his room, and urinate into it if he woke up at night. This is similar to the bottle mentioned in the question.

It was narrated by Abu Daawood in his Sunan (24), an-Nasaa’i in his Sunan (32), Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh (1426), and al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak (594) from Hukaymah bint Umaymah bint Ruqayqah from her mother that she said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to have a vessel made of wood under his bed into which he would urinate at night.

This hadith was classed as hasan by an-Nawawi in al-Eejaaz fi Sharh Sunan Abi Daawood (p. 155); it was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Daawood (19).

It is known that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to remember Allah and recite Qur’an before going to sleep, and he would recite Qur’an when he woke up, and he would pray in his room. He did not refrain from doing any of those things because of this vessel.

So there is a difference between places that are set up for dealing with impurity, such as lavatories and places where animals are slaughtered, and clean, pure (taahir) places in which there happens to be some transient impurity.

The former are places where the Holy Qur’an should not be recited; as for the latter, the presence of some transient impurity in them does not mean that Qur’an cannot be recited there.

Based on that, there is nothing wrong with playing Qur’an in this room.

And Allah knows best.

AlBaqir:
EXPOSING THE REPORTS ON ASHURA FASTING

1. Imam Muslim documents:

A'isha (r) reported that the Quraish used to fast on the day of 'Ashura in the pre-Islamic days and the Messenger of Allah (s) also observed it. When he migrated to Medina, he himself observed this fast and commanded (others) to observe it. But when fasting during the month of Ramadan was made obligatory he said: He who wishes to observe this fast may do so, and he who wishes to abandon it may do so"

Source: Sahih Muslim 1125 a
In-book reference  : Book 13, Hadith 143  http://www.sunnah.com/muslim/13/143

 
2. Imam Muslim documents:

Ibn Abbas (r) reported that when Allah's Messenger (s) came to Medina, he found the Jews observing the fast on the day of Ashura. They were asked about it and they said: It is the day on which Allah granted victory to Moses and Bani Isra'il over the Pharaoh and we observe fast out of gratitude to Him. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (s) said: We have a closer connection with Moses than you have, and he commanded to observe fast on this day."

Source: Sahih Muslim 1130 a
In-book reference  : Book 13, Hadith 162  http://www.sunnah.com/muslim/13/162


OBSERVATION:

# If we infer from the hadith of Umm al-Mumineen Aisha that Prophet had been observing Ashura fasting since his time in Makkah with the pagan Quraysh ever before his Prophethood, then this will grossly contradict the hadith of Ibn Abbas which showed the Prophet's naivety of Ashura fasting and its importance.


CONTRADICTORY HADITH THAT BLEW UP THE WHOLE STORY

Imam Muslim continues his documentation:


Ibn 'Abbas reported that when the Messenger of Allah (s) fasted on the day of 'Ashura and commanded that it should be observed as a fast, they (his Companions) said to him: Messenger of Allah, it is a day which the Jews and Christians hold in high esteem. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (s) said: When the next year comes, God willing, we would observe fast on the 9th But the Messenger of Allah (s) died before the advent of the next year"

Source: Sahih Muslim 1134 a
In-book reference  : Book 13, Hadith 172  http://www.sunnah.com/muslim/13/172


 This hadith which claimed Prophet died the following year he commanded the fasting of Ashura, clearly suggest he might have spent 2 - 3 years in al-Madinah. This  is contradictory to established facts of 10 years he spent in al-Madinah.


* If we however suggest that this command and complaint (of the companions) about Ashura fasting was on the 9th or 10th year of Hijra (migration to Madina) that the Prophet entered al-Madinah; therefore, he died the following year – 10th or 11th year,  then it render the previous ahadith of Aishah, Jabir et al useless since they claimed fasting of Ramadan (established in 2nd year) made fasting of Ashura abandoned or optional.

* There is absolutely no suggestion in this hadith that there was a time difference between the command of Ashura fasting and the complaint of the Sahabah. Even if we fabricate a gap period, the question is what made the complaint of the Sahabah and the Prophet’s realization so late for about 8 - 9 years?

 The fact that Allah has declared in the 1st or 2nd year of Prophet's arrival in al-Madinah:

"Never will the Jews and the Christians be satisfied with thee (Muhammad) unless you follow their form of religion. Say (O Muhammad)  'The guidance of God, that is the (only) Guidance.‟ Were you to follow their desires after the knowledge which has reached you, then you will neither find protector or helper against God” (Baqarah: 120)
 
So, neither the Prophet nor the Sahabah will be heedless of this verse. The valid conclusion is that both the command and complaint as expressed in the hadith took place in the 1 - 2nd year of Hijra. And the fact that the hadith later claim the Prophet died the following year collapse the whole pack of lies about the Tasu'a and Ashura fast.

By counting of the Sultan and Nigeria National Moon Committe, today; 5th September, 2019 is equivalent to the 5th of Muharram, 1441AH. By implication, next week Monday and Tuesday are the blessed day of Tasu'a and Asuuroh respectively when Fasting is of great benefit.

First of all, it is very important to make it clear that fasting on the day of `Ashura’ – the 10th of Muharram- is of great merits in Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Fasting the day of `Ashura’ (is of great merits), I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in) the previous year” (Muslim) in

Also, fasting the 9th of Muharram is highly recommended by the Sunnah. Imam At-Tirmidhi reported that Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: We should fast on two days: the 9th and 10th of Muharram to distinguish ourselves from the Jewish community. (At-Tirmidhi)

Explaining the virtue of fasting on the 9th and the 10th of Muharram, Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former President of the Islamic Society of North America, states:

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f2/cb/64/f2cb64e0167cad1b272d84d87c47c6f3.jpg
It is the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him used to fast on the day of `Ashura’. When he came to Madinah, he found out that the Jews of Madinah were also fasting on this day remembering Prophet Musa (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) admired this tradition and said to the Jews, “I am closer to Musa than you are.” He fasted and he also told his Companions to fast on this day.

Later, before the end of his life, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told Muslims to add the 9th day also. Thus, it is recommended to fast on both the 9th and 10th of Muharram.

Moreover, in the well-known book, Fiqh As-Sunnah, the late Sheikh Sayyed Sabiq states:

Abu Hurayrah reported: “I asked the Prophet: ‘Which Prayer is the best after the obligatory Prayers?’ He said: ‘Prayer during the mid of the night.’ I asked: ‘Which fasting is the best after that of Ramadan?’ He said, ‘The month of Allah that you call Muharram’”(Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud).

Mu`awiyyah ibn Abi Sufyan reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah say:“Concerning the day of `Ashura’, it is not obligatory upon you to fast on it as I do. Whoever wishes may fast and whoever does not wish to is not obliged to do so” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).

It is noteworthy that Muslim scholars have stated that fasting of `Ashura’ is of three levels as follows:

1. fasting for three days, i.e., on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of Muharram,

2. fasting the 9th and 10th of Muharram, and

3. fasting only the 10th of Muharram.

see here for reference

In conclusion, kindly save the date on your calendar so that you can fast on these days to follow the Sunnah of our noble Prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, his households and companions), seek reward, forgiveness and all that you want from Almighty Allah. May Allah make it easy for us. Kindly remind others too to get plenty reward

In reality, everyday of a Muslim's life should be a day of activism against the abuse of women and children.

Abuse of women and children is condemned in Islam. Abusive men show complete disregard to the Islamic teachings of kindness, mercy, and compassion. They totally ignore the example of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) , who never hit a woman or child and was extremely gentle and compassionate with his entire family.

https://zululandobserver.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2018/08/woman-abuse_17913_tn.jpg

The Noble Quran contains several verses extolling good treatment of women, and makes it clear that the relationship between men and women is to be one of kindness, mutual respect and caring, and not one of oppression, violence and abuse.

Islam has enshrined the sanctity of chastity and the protection of women at all times. A woman’s honour and chastity is to be respected under all circumstances.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) vehemently disapproved of men ill-treating their wives, and led by example by never ill-treating anyone, including any woman or child in his entire life. He exhorted men thus saying, "Treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers"; and at another instance he said, "The strong man is not the one who can use the force of physical strength, but the one who controls his anger." (Bukhari)

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have stated, "(Is it not a shame that) one of you beats his wife like a slave and then sleeps with her at the end of the day." (Riyadh-us-Saliheen)

As Muslims, we must stop covering up abuse, in the name of "preserving family honour" for verily, the honour of Allah I, is above all honour.

Violence against women and children has hurt many, destroyed families, and weakened the society. How much longer can we afford to look the other way?

Thanks for the feedback guys. However, what he is doing is a renewal, not a first time application. He does not need police clearance from Nigeria even if he stayed there for the past 1 year, as long as he is renewing his existing visa. If it is a fresh application, then it is a different matter. You can get more info from the "Documents Required" page here: https://www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica/relative-visa-content.html


I've forgotten. About R400. Not so sure now.

Cheers and all the best.

Sir, I thinks he needs Nigeria police clearance too if he had traveled to Nigeria recently?

TYPOP:
Like Lukgaf said, you can do your medical in any hospital. The Radiological will have to be done in a hospital with X-Ray capabilities. You can try any Netcare hospitals or Lister building (downtown). The Netcare hospitals should accept your Momentum medical aid.

Secondly, if you are renewing, you don't need Nigerian Police Clearance. Your SA Police Clearance will also be done at VFS at the point of renewing your visa, so no need to get any Police Clearance.

Please house where can i do my medical and radiology report in Johannesburg and do I need Nigeria police clearance to renew my spousal visa in South Africa? Please house help

Go to any hospital or use ur medical aid. As for the police clearance, inform someone to visit Alagbon on ur behalf. But u may need to send the person the photocopy of the previous police certificate issued. All d best

Naam. Thanks for the observation

Brother,the Arabic transliteration of that Adeeth is:Wa'Aadheeru 'jidu maa'sharri min qudratihi wallahi bi-izaati ahuz:,and not the way it was written.
However,may Allah bless you on this.

Maa sha Allah

If it were to be a christian thread and a muslim decides to parasitize into it, I trust all hell would break lose.......anyways I woke up with a severe tooth ache and I just used this supplications above after stumbling upon this thread, I dont know if its faith or fate but I feel very much better and can get back on my computer now.
