ok i am a Muslim teenager livin in the United States. I have a best friend who is Hindu. Me and my best friend share everything. Our food, water bottles, etc. I guess my mom didn't realize it bcuz when she found out she said that i cant share my water bottle with her anymore. i asked why and she said bcuz they pray all their religious mantras with their mouth and then she is drinking from ur bottle so its just wrong. i thought that was a good reason. then me and her bought boots. they r different types of boots but we r the same size so we decided to share them. my mom said i cant share them with her bcuz she is a hindu. i said mom its not lyk she prays with her feet but my mom still doesnt totally agree with me. do u think this is right? should i not be allowed to share my boots???

I think your mom is concerned about the top layer, when the problem is deeper within. Islam does not say not to share your things with non muslims. In this world, there are all kinds of people. Do you think our clothes, food, vehicles every single thing is made by a Muslim?? Does noe non Muslim come in the process?? NO way! Its not haram.

What you should really be careful of sister, is the kind of influence she might be to you. YOu may defend yourself saying alot of things, but the Prophet himself advised us to keep company with believers. It is well known that Ifrinds influence each other in very subtle and indirect ways. Beofre you know it, you are a different person. Good company is very very important. Im not just saying this because she is hindu, we should keep company with good muslims too. Theres no harm in having a cordial relationship and inviting your firnd to islam, but the way you described it sounded like you'll are soulmates.
I dont doubt you being a good Muslimah, but i only warn and advise you about what our beloved Prophet said, so that you remain firm and even firmer on the right path!
Mal Allah guide us all. Ameen.

I agree about the water bottle thing you shouldn't share stuff like that with anyone, as for the boots just because she is Hindu shouldn't matter talk to your mom about this problem and see if you can find an agreement but if she still doesn't want you to do this then you shouldn't do it you have to obey your mom and you get reward for this and have patiences with her :)!

Aww whats with the thumbs down? I didnt say anything wrong!

If she is really your friend why you don't advice her to Islam...
If you don't care where she end in the judgment day I think it's not really important to share your boots, am I wrong?

God has allowd Muslims in Quran to share their food with people of book (Christians and Jews). But has called the idol worshippers as NAJS (unclean) in spiritual sense because they worshipped idol gods and make them God's partners too.

Parents are a good thing so treat them well. I would have them explain to you their decisions and openly discuss what they believe and why. Sadly parents are not always right so keep your thinking cap on even while you respect your parents.
