Fiqh of Priority on Study Abroad

Forum Group Discussion

As an side effect of study abroad, we have to prepare the thread to survive in overseas, we took 6 point of problems in facing the different culture or island, which are:
1. Halal-Food
Halal Food is the first priority as we seen that eat is an primary needed from everybody. Halal food in overseas in being hard to find, but not really can disturb you to live in there peacefully:
1. if you want to eat rice, you can ask for original food instead of the instant rice or Chinese rice.
2. If you tend to eat halal meat, you can googling it to find the halal butcher.
3. Beware on eating sweet cupcakes or candy, you should see the ingredient and the halal codes
4. Beware on can food too, you should finding the codes and checking the identification of halal codes or you can commit to eat vegan.

2. Five Daily Praying Time
Praying is the Iman foundation as a Moslem, we have to maintain:
1. Because there is no adzan, you can check your own schedule and water to take a wudhu.
2. Because in overseas will be difficult to find a Masjid, try to find out clean place and bring own sajaddah. Not forget to keep in touch to Moslem community.
3. How can we communicate with our supervisor is the important thing to inform him/her personally with open-mind discussion
4. The social factor in campus that should be really pay attention on having/making relationship to have a good friends.
5. In case of the intolerancy of another people, we should act kindly as a good preaching Moslem.

3. Fasting during Ramadhan
The different time zone will make Ramadhan not easy as we in Indonesia, we have condition:
1. the different weather can make the time for fasting longer than in Indonesia, we should pay attention on make our own schedule as reminder.
2. Always keep our faith up to away from the thread in fasting
3. We should balance the nutritious food and drink in order to have a productive day
4. Take a proper rest in night and not to stress out.

4. Sociability with non-Moslem
As we discuss in previous group, we should aware in urgently having/making relationship with friends.

5. Formal-meeting
Gathering, inauguration, or another moment that we must join to our campus friend can be problem if we can not maintain what kind of food they would be serve, or culture that not allowed in Islam. We can list every single culture in overseas during having a best moment, so we can refuse in well-mannered.

6. LDR
The next problem we face in overseas is our long distance with our beloved one. It can be minimizing the conflict if we knew well every leisure time of ours of theirs so we can connect in online chatting or direct live calls.
