About Turbah: saying it is necessary for salat is a bidah

As I have said often (we may agree to disagree) I believe some Shia sisters add something to salat when they use a turbah (stating something or natural fibre ect like dirty, clay, or reeds, must be used for salat during prostration, ie you know that time when your head is on the ground????). Adding something to salat that the Prophet Mohamed sallalahu alahi wa salaam did not is called a bidah. Honestly I don't think praying with your arms at your sides is a bida my shia & ibhadhi sisters. I think it is mustahaab (beneficial) to fold them across your chest in the manner most often done by the Prophet Mohamed salalahu alahi wa salaam but I don't think it is a bidah to keep them at your sides. Just better the other way, as that IS more OFTEN the sunnah. Anyyyyyyyways, I have gone off topic as I tend to do.... I often feel that some shia sisters (and brothers) are missing the whole point of the hadith they quote to claim as proof that we are to use turbah. We can pray on any...

What is the difference between jalabiyia and abaya?

I don't know about you, but I love jalabiyias. Mainly because they are often modest enough to wear for salat and safe to wear in the house if a non-maharam MIGHT pop into the room before I can move out (happens sometimes in family houses in the Gulf with brother-in-laws). But Jalabiyias are not abayaat/jilbab as some bloggers mislabel them. Why, even if they are cut the same one might wonder as I once did? Cuz my husband won't let me go out in my fancy Saudi and Omani visiting jalabiyias or my party Morrocan caftans even the ones that are not see-through) but he IS okay with me wearing simply cotton embroidered jalabiyias from KSA and Egypt and Morrocan dishdashes of a modest deign and fabric. Why??? I used to wonder. Well, Jalabiyias are made to be beautiful with rich designs (a simply cotton jalabiyia I'd still wear out of the house if as an overgarment) (and I know some abayaat are too) but Islamically we are not to wear anything publically (this means with the exceptio...

Are the feet of a woman awrah? i.e do we have to cover our feet

A question that came up on my previous post about halal footwear ( http://ilovehishmatheblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/high-heels-can-negate-ones-hijab.html ) was the question, are the feet of a woman awrah? How, and in what manner did the Sahaba cover their feet? What is the evidence for covering the feet? And if the feet are awrah how can we go about this "stylishly" in sandals?:D C'mon now, admit the last one's the one you wanted to ask most, ha ha. But on a serrious note, I bet ya'll are most interested in what manner the Sahabiyat covered their feet, and where they got the notion that they had to. بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيم , IS THE FOOT OF A WOMAN CONSIDERED AWRAH? Um... yuck. About the photo I mean. No offense Aishwarya, but I don't wouldn't let that guy suck on MY feet. The Prophet sallalahu allahi wa salaam said in a sahih hadith I have memorized but whose source at this very moment alludes me: “The woman is ‘Awrah, when she leaves [her h...
