[blindlaw] apologies, but interesting lead in

[Beth]

I want to thank all of you who answered my questions about the 
dude's culture.  Let me say why this is and why I bothered 
talking about it.  I was wondering where in any Islamic law or 
jurisprudence (if anybody's studied it) it says that blind people 
are needy and must receive charity and can never rise above being 
beggars and such like.  There are many different forms of law.  
Btw, I'd like to be a paralegal if I can't get a job that's 
steady in the social work business.  Thanks.
