Jazakillahu kheirun for this article. Alhamdulillah I don’t plan on taking student loans insha Allah, but I know some people who are extremely close to me that have taken some (I don’t think they knew much about it), and I was trying to find some solution. Alhamdulillah! May Allah reward you GREATLY with the best of the dunya and the akhira and may He help everyone here and all those Muslims who are in these situations. Ameen.

We desperately need some sort of system in place to help Muslim students to pay for their education. May Allah give us one. Ameen.

JazakAllah khair for that amazing post. I give khutbas in the Toronto area and I’m trying to work on a series of khutbas dealing with this post. Please post part 1 so I can get started inshAllah. JazakAllah once again. If you can also post the author so I could mention his/her name in the khutbas I would be grateful!

Asalam Alaykoom

I made a huge mistake in taking out student loans early on in my college career. I was not very knowledgeable in the deen and was unaware of the seriousness of riba..

Now I am finishing my Master’s Degree in the US and have nearly $50 K in student loads, subhanallah.. I am currently seriously thinking of ways in which I can do this, and I make dua to Allah to make it easy for me..

My point is, don’t get into loans in the first place. I had a friend who worked the night shift at UPS his entire undergrad time, and they paid tuition for him. If you work hard, it can be done. I regret having taken OSAP in the first place, and am now warning other brothers against it.

May Allah make it easy for us and guide us all.

Respected brother Abu Hajira,
It would be really appreciated if you can comment on the following article:

http://muslimmatters.org/2007/07/09/…cheese-factor/

Response by Mufti Husain

Such a small amount would be forgiven when it doesn’t have an effect on the large quantity it has been mixed with, as it could then be classified as nonexistent, due to all signs of it having been obliterated, as in the case of the drop of blood.

Rennet on the other hand has a definite, clearly visible effect on the mixture, infact its role is vital in the cheese-making process, thus there is no way it could be classified as non-existent.
A better analogy would be to compare this tiny quantity of rennet to a drop of highly concentrated, potent poison which is effective even when applied to many litres of water. Would this be labelled poisoned water or just plain untainted water?
