yuit, does it mention anywhere in Quran/Sunnah that you cannot have alochol in the products even if it means you dont consume it? aint sure bout that one.

Yeah, I found the answer, and it seem that you can wear it, but I think I will carry on wearing my attar, it much better.

Salaam Elmer! How are you mr Fudd?

Most alcohols are synthetic and non-intoxicating, therefore allowed. Most cosmetics with alcohol in are fine

Salaam I fine how u doing, I hope everything fine.

It is funny about the aftershave, I remember I was wearing some once reading namaaz and someone said my namaaz will not be accepted because of my aftershave, never put it on again. :evil:

But I have to say I much prefer attar anyway.

Credit Cards accumulate interest, and i'm pretty sure that's haram for you.

And boy do they accumulate interest...

You should get a debit card.

Same functions features and everything except it draws directly from your checking account so it's real money you actually have.

- How do muslims get mortgages or college loans?

I'd imagine you would get laughed out of the bank if you asked for a no interest loan...

Well dave boy if you use your credit card wisely then you dont have to pay interest, as long as you pay your full bill payment within the 56 days (or whatever the credit card provider gives u) then to make a fulll payment within 56 days means interest-free...if you use a credit card properly you will find you arent gettin yourself into debt and getin the full benefits for it.

But isn't that sort of tempting temptation?

It's sort of like walking into a strip club promising yourself you will keep your eyes closed the whole time.

It's so easy to make exceptions for yourself when you are talking about money "It's not [i]really[/i] like i'm spending money I don't have, i'm really just putting a forward on next weeks pay check which is twice as much anyway!"

Why run the risk?

THATS CRIMINAL!

Debit Cards are a godsend to the economically intelligent.

Everywhere should take them :evil:

I haven't seen my credit cards in months, Annette won custody so I only get to visit them on weekends - and with the distance and all it's just not a possibility...

I write to them occasionally and they are good enough to send me statements from time to time on where they have been and what they have been doing with themselves.

I wish we were a family again.

haha that's just something I say, I do have physical control over them... sometimes.

Usually when we are on vacation or just out I end up buying things I never planned on - she definitely abuses it. We will go to lunch and "stop by" various shops nowhere near where we had lunch.

She is too pretty to say no to - it's damned unfair.

lol didn't say it was entirely her fault.

I'd say it's somewhere in the hazy vicinity of 70/30.

70 being her.

haha I hope you guys know I am joking most of the time... I admit her vice is vanity, but that might very well be her only vice. Definitely the most generous and compassionate person I know, and far sharper than myself.

What's with girls and shopping? I would never list that as one of my hobbies... more like an irritating chunk out of my day.

It's not so terrible [i]watching[/i] girls shop (as a sidekick... not creepy old man sitting on a bench) because it really does make them happy, and since it appears that girls are creatures of happiness that's always a jovial experience.

Guys... not so much. We're self contained, we don't have to constantly bring the outside world into our bubbles to feel good.

Dont tempt me :twisted:

i wouldnt say ima shop-aholic....but i sure love to spend ...a lil too much. ive been condemned by many for the price tag on my latest pair of trainers

Debit cards - good idea

Credit cards - only use when i have to, i.e. place wont take credit cards. and thats only with gettin footy tickets. besides that i only keep one to increase credit rating. and its easy to pay on time, so interest is never a prob. and the bank likes me, i like them

Hsbc do islamic banking now too
