Researchers in Swden reported recently that they teleported a very small amunt of matter about 20 inches. It is only the beginning. In a thousand years, God knows what the world will be like. I am looking forward to the Holosuite
Ya Haqq!
You mentioned beaming into Makkah to pray.
In Medieval works of fiqh scholars mention the issue of “Ahl al-KhuTwah” or the people of one step, i.e. he can take one step and be in front of the Kab’ah when their foot lands with that step. Can he shorten his prayers when he reaches his destination?
or b/c there is no difficulty in his travel he has to pray them fully?
Most said he can shorten them, b/c the causative reasoning is the fact that he is travelling, not that there is difficulty in the act.
Also a person who is kidnapped by the Jinn and is stuck on its back held up in the sky, can he pray when the time comes in? does facing the Qiblah at that height count?
These issues and those like them are called edge issues, in that they push the limit on trying to determine what constitutes a legal action or not, not that they actually happened and were asked about (at least i hope the jinn one did’nt! )
Tariq, concerning beaming into Makka:
1. Imagine the crowding issues, but
2. Instead of paying for hotels, a person can do Hajj during the day, beam home for the night and beam back for the next fajr!
Oh, and I wonder how years ago, decades, centuries ago it took months to get to Makka so it was the most valuable thing to a person when they did it. People used to marvel at others who made it there and back. But, when one beams in and out, would we become so used to it that it would no longer feel special to us?? “Do anything special today, dear?”, “Aw, nothing really. Ate lunch in a real Indian restaurant in Delhi, looked at some new orchid species in Singapore and did Zuhr at the usual place in Makka…nothing special really.”

This is pretty amazing. It reminds me of a comic book character called Daredevil:

Man, I just can’t stop: “Hey, I’m doing Umrah this year!” “So what. I do Umrah everyday now that I’ve got the Beamer 3000 ultra teleporter!”
David Blaine has been doing stuff like this for a while…
