Advice for a friend

salam,

I have a friend who converted to Islam but has, simply, found it too difficult to adhere to the obligations put upon us. He still believes, but he can't stick to the routine. He sent me this email, can anyone help?

[quote=]I’ve got another question about Islam, if that’s OK.

I think that the intellectual acceptance of Islam was something I could manage under my own steam and embrace without too much trouble. The difficulty I didn't anticipate though was the change in lifestyle – I found that much more problematic: getting up at 3 am every day to pray; fasting for a whole month; only eating Halal food (it doesn't exist in my region of France).

Hanafi ulema & opinions (rulings, rather)

Is it me or do the hanafi ulema generally have many differences of opinion amongst their circles, primarily between the indian ulema and the arabian ulema.

i.e. The issue of whether muslim females are permitted to shorten their hair or not?
indian ulema will say no pretty much unconditionally, while the arabian ulema will say yeah though imposing some conditions. (I wonder how many follow indian ulema on that issue !!!!)

Are there any more such fiqh issues which these groups of ulema differ upon?
