Regarding the four places of intention in Hizb al-Bahr, when reciting aloud in a group with the brethren I've experienced some area where they actually pause at the four places for a period of time while everyone makes their intention silently. Can you kindly clarify if this practice is established or should we all not stop during the Hizb and just intend as the places pass?¶
If I am in a situation where I cannot consistently attend my local majlis for the Latifiyyah, can I do the long form of the Latifiyyah of 1000 times with my family rather then the short form (129). We get the weekly lesson from our local host.¶
Please comment on men who expect their wives to work. Feminism created this problem but where are the strong men to end it. I know of cases where a sister was mentioned for marriage and the brother laughed it off because she didn’t have a job. This is found in our tariqa as well.¶
