Reerka odayaashiisa ayaa waxay la kulmaan odayaasha la dhashay gabadha ama kuwa ka soo jeeda qbiilka ay gabadhu tahay. Odayaasha ayaa balama. Marka la isu yimaado oo meel lawada fariisto ayaa la sheekeystaa.   Sheekadan waxay u badan tahay kaftan. Mar-marka qaar ayaa gabay la isu tiriyaa. Inta badan waxay gabayadu noqdaan kuwo hore oo labada reer dhex maray. Waxa la is-xusuusiyaa sheekoyin hore oo dhexmaray laba reer ama Soomaali guud ahaan meel ay joogtaba. Kaftan, sheeko iyo qosol badan ka bacdi, reerka uu ninku ka dhashay ayaa weydiisanaya in gabadha la siiyo.

Is it permitted for a woman to cut her hair for beauty? A woman can do so provided she avoids a hairstyle peculiar to men. The Prophet, peace be on him, has cursed men who copy women and women who copy men. This applies to hairstyle and appearance. So long as she avoids this, she is permitted to cut her hair. There is no prohibition in the sources. We should remember that originally the rule is permission; prohibition is only an exception. However, we must add a word of caution. A Muslim woman is required to cover her head and not expose it except to her husband or her mahram (a person whom she cannot marry).  In most western countries, washrooms don't have the facility to 'wash' after relieving yourself. Is the toilet napkin good enough to clean ourselves and make us ‘najas' free to perform prayers? Or do we have to wash in order to be clean for the prayers? Islam teaches us to use water for purification after relieving oneself whenever and wherever possible. However, in cases where water is not available, or water becomes scarce, or unusable because of sickness or other valid reasons, we are allowed…

Fifty years ago, lawmakers in Washington opened the doors to immigrants from Africa. Today, dozens of new Americans — from Liberia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia, and more — are running for BY: Ibrahim Hiris Via Sahan Journal Black immigrants are changing the Minnesota political landscape at a pace never seen before.  Barely four years ago, the highest-ranking elected official in the community was Abdi Warsame, a Somali immigrant who was sworn into the Minneapolis City Council in January 2014.  Now, the state can count at least 13 Black immigrant elected officials, including U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar; state Representatives Mohamud Noor and Hodan Hassan; and Mayor Mike Elliott of Brooklyn Center.  In the DFL August primary, a few more Black immigrants emerged victorious. Among them are 30-year-old Omar Fateh, who will likely win a seat in the State Senate; and 35-year-old Esther Agbaje who secured another likely spot in the State House.    The surge in the number of Black immigrants seeking elected positions is conspicuous not only in the Twin Cities metro area. It’s also taking place outside the metro area, in cities like Mankato, St. Cloud and Austin.   State demographer Susan Brower points to two factors possibly contributing to the surge: First, the…
