Default Hot off the Fatwa press from Abu Dhabi for Ramadan....

In full here: http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs....707299876/1018

Highlights below:

Another question came from a family, concerned that their habit of packing up the creams and shampoos offered by hotels might not be allowed. The fatwa indicated that Muslims could take such toiletries, and food, from the room, but within limits.

“You have already paid for the disposable items like shampoo and soap, and so you are allowed to take them with you unless explicitly told by the establishment not to take them with you,” replied the fatwa.

“It is known that hotels don’t offer anything unless it has already been paid for.”

In another holiday-related question, someone asked “whether it is okay to love a particular place”.

Doing so is permissible, provided it was a favourable place in the eyes of Allah, such as mosques, one’s own country or holy places such as Mecca and Madina. The fatwa ruled out a love of “shopping places”.

Oooo the irony....
