II. 23

Addendum

1/1/0001

Shaving one's face, whether bladed razors or electric apparatuses intended for the same purpose, is highly unacceptable.

Beating of drums during athletic contests is not allowed; nor is the playing of military music during military ceremonies, if such music can in any way be assimilated to licentious music.

Gambling is forbidden, even if indulged in not for gain but merely as an amusement.

No Muslim is permitted to work in a Jewish concern, if he knows, or has the slightest suspicion, that this concern gives support to Israel. Money thus earned is impure.

It is not strictly forbidden for Muslims to work for a concern managed by a Muslim which also employs Jews, provided the worker does not serve Israel in any manner whatsoever. However, it is shameful to do one's work under the orders of a Jewish foreman.

It is absolutely forbidden to dissect the corpse of a Muslim, but the dissection of non-Muslim corpses is acceptable.

The flesh of any animal slaughtered by the methods in various countries, where recently available machines are employed, is impure, and it is forbidden to either sell or to buy it. In such a transaction, the seller owes the buyer the money he paid for it, even if the animal was slaughtered while facing in the direction of Mecca, and even if the name of Allah was invoked at the time.

Any meat imported from the countries of the infidels is strictly impure, and considered the same as the flesh of a corpse, unless it is proven that the cattle was slaughtered according to Muslim ritual.

It is forbidden to look upon a woman other than one's wife, or an animal, or a statue, in a sensual or lubricious manner.

A woman who wishes to pursue her studies toward the end of being able to earn her living though respectable work, and who has a male teacher, may do so if she keeps her face covered and has no contact with men; but if that is inevitable, and religious and moral tenets are thus undermined, she must give up her studies.

Girls and boys who attend coeducational classes in grammar schools, high schools, universities, or other teaching establishments, and who, in order to legalize such a situation, wish to contract a temporary marriage may do so without the permission of their fathers. The same applies if the boy and girl are in love but hesitate to ask for such permission.
