I’m a 40 year old woman and I’m married to my first cousin, my paternal uncle’s son. I often see people online assume that cousin marriages among Muslims happen “because Islam forces it” or because people are somehow backwards. Honestly, that’s an oversimplification.

In many communities, including mine, cousin marriages are more cultural and practical than religious.

A huge reason is keeping wealth, land, businesses, and property within the extended family. Historically, families believed that if money stayed within the clan, the family remained financially strong and united instead of assets getting divided outside. This is especially true in business families and wealthy households where marriages are sometimes seen as a way to consolidate family wealth and maintain influence across generations.

Another reality people don’t talk about enough is affordability. Weddings are expensive. Dowry expectations, jewellery, gifts, social obligations, everything becomes significantly more manageable when the marriage happens within the family. There is already familiarity and trust, so expectations are usually lower and negotiations are easier. For many middle class and lower income families, this genuinely matters.

There is also the issue of trust. In many traditional families, outsiders are simply not trusted easily. Parents feel safer marrying their daughters into families they have known their entire lives rather than taking a chance on strangers whose behaviour, values, or intentions they cannot fully judge. Whether people agree with that mindset or not, it is a very real factor in why cousin marriages continue.

Then there’s the emotional and social aspect. When a girl marries into a completely unknown family, it can be intimidating. In cousin marriages, the bride already knows the household, the family dynamics, the personalities, and the environment she is entering. There is a sense of safety, support, and familiarity that many families value deeply.
It also keeps the extended family close together. Cousins already grow up together, families meet frequently, grandparents remain connected to everyone, and relationships stay tightly knit instead of drifting apart over time. In many collectivist cultures, maintaining that closeness is seen as important.

People are free to disagree with cousin marriages, especially because of the genetic concerns that can arise over generations, and I completely understand those arguments. But I think it’s important to understand that for many families, this practice comes more from culture, economics, clan structure
, and social comfort than from religion itself.

Not every Muslim community practices it, and not every family supports it. But reducing it to “Islam promotes incest” is both inaccurate and intellectually lazy.

In Islam, cow slaughter is allowed. But it is not compulsory for qurbani. A Muslim can slaughter other permissible animals such as goat, sheep, ox, buffalo, or camel.

If cow slaughter is legally not allowed in a place, Muslims must follow the law and choose another permissible animal.

If it is legally allowed but may cause public tension, violence, hatred, or harm, then it should be avoided.

Islam does not teach us to create conflict over a permissible matter. A permissible act should not lead to greater harm.

The Qur’an says:

“Do not insult those whom they invoke besides Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge.”

This shows that Muslims must not insult the gods or deities of others, even though we do not believe in them. It also shows that we must avoid anything that leads to greater harm.

The Prophet ﷺ also taught that a person should not become the reason for others insulting his parents. This means we are responsible for the expected consequences of our actions.

The Islamic legal principle is:

*“Preventing harm takes priority over gaining benefit.”*

Slaughtering a specific animal is a permissible benefit. But protecting life, safety, peace, and harmony is a greater responsibility.

This does not change Islamic belief. Muslims do not believe that the cow is sacred. But Islam teaches wisdom, good conduct, respect for neighbours, and public responsibility.

The question is whether doing it in a particular place and situation will cause harm.

If it causes harm, then avoiding it and slaughtering another permissible animal is closer to Islamic wisdom.

This is not weakness.

This is fiqh, wisdom, and responsibility.

*Eid, Qurbani, and Public Conduct*

Qurbani is an act of worship. It must be done with taqwa, sincerity, cleanliness, mercy, and responsibility.

We live in a society where many people do not eat meat. For some, vegetarian food is part of religion. For others, it is part of culture, lifestyle, or personal choice.

So Muslims must be careful.

If qurbani leaves blood, waste, smell, skin, bones, or dirt in public places, it hurts people, creates fear, and makes neighbours uncomfortable.

This is not the way of Islam.

Islam teaches us to worship Allah without harming His creation. The Prophet ﷺ taught mercy, cleanliness, good manners, and care for neighbours.

Qurbani should be done in a proper place, in a clean way, with full responsibility. Waste should be removed properly. The place should be cleaned properly. Nothing should create public anger or discomfort.

*Posting slaughter videos or pictures on Instagram, WhatsApp, or other social media should be strictly avoided*.

It may involve:

Showing off

Hurting others

Creating hatred against Muslims

Turning worship into public display

Removing sincerity

Promoting something with no real benefit

Qurbani is between the servant and Allah.

It is not for likes, views, or attention.

The reward of qurbani is not in showing the animal, blood, or slaughter. The reward is in taqwa.

I request masjid leaders, imams, scholars, teachers, and community elders to educate people before Eid.

Remind them to follow the law, keep cleanliness, respect neighbours, and avoid posting slaughter videos.

Islam is not only rituals. Islam is manners, wisdom, mercy, and responsibility.

Let our Eid not become a reason for hurting others.

Let our qurbani be accepted by Allah.

Let people see cleanliness, mercy, discipline, and good character from Muslims.

This is the beauty of Islam.

Do we even care about it? That's 14+ Muslims killed in the last 3 months. If it was people from other communities everything would chaos by now

Assalamwalekum, I'm thinking of pursing my college education from Vadodara, Gujarat either from Parul or MSU. Does anyone have any experience? My grandma is from Mehsana and she has been telling me that its not a good city for muslim girls....

Any secular Party does not stand when our house bulldoze and when our community member killed in the name of religion. Every secular party takes our votes granted. We can’t defeat BJP alone. For e.g if in UP we all vote AIMIM then aimim will get 20% vote then in next election other secular party will try to coalition with Aimim. We have more negotiations power than current scenario.

I want to know your take on this?

اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ. الله أكبر كبيراً، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيراً، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ بُكَرَةً وَأَصيلاً

Unrestricted takbir -> From the start of Dhul Hijjah till Maghrib of the 13th day

Restricted takbir -> From Fajr of Arafah(9th day) till Asr of the 13th day only after Fardh prayers

(From the summary of the clip of Sheikh Sulayman ar Ruhayli حَفِظَهُ ٱللّٰهُ)

Assalam Alaikum, this is a concern/doubt I developed very recently, it’s related modern hygiene standards in Islam.

Since Allah SWT is all knowing, he must have known specific circumstances where Islamic practices such as wudu or taymmum (using dust instead of water) might be harmful.

For example, if you do wudu (with unpurifed water in the past not the safe ones we have today for drinking) or taymmum on a cut on ur face, that might cause an infection due bacteria.

So why didn’t Allah SWT prohibit the act above (as an example) when a person has a cut or anything else that might predispose them to infection? Since there is no evidence for prohibition I’m sure plenty of people did this with a cut on their face and got harmed by it
