haram police is a person who says alot of things are haram....but their not true.... or they are hipocrytes......i think!!

Answer 6

I believe there is a hadeeth in condemnation of Sarcasm.

I'll see if I can find it for you inshaAllaah tomorrow

EDIT: (Tomorrow because it was late night for me)

I looked it up and sarcasm translates to: استهزاء or سخرية which are both considered Haraam in the Qur'aan.

Answer 7

Answer 8

exactly...haram police.....

no its not haraam.....

and i think you should be smart enough to judge that yourself instead of posting a question about it sister......

Answer 9

o.O I don't see how it's haram, everyone does it, and I'm pretty sure the Prophet PBUH probably said something sarcasticly. I mean He is a fun, loving person.

Answer 10

maybe they mean lying is haram

Answer 11

She'S probably joking with you. why would it be haraam to be sarcastic? and the word haraam shouldnt be used lightly.

Answer 12

im a little disappointed to see so many people agreeing that just because its "fun" or something they do frequently, that means its not haraam. ?? im going to go with the its a sin but not haraam statement as well. everyone should try and follow the example of our prophet saws, and it is very clear that he was in no way rude or disrespectful or mocking of any person, so why should muslims of today act that way?

Answer 13

being sarcastic is fun!

if its haram then im intruble lol

Answer 14

okay lying is a sin not sarcasm- it's weird that people in this section are coming up with things saying that is haram.. if everything is haram then we won't be able to accomplish much in life

Answer 15

its a bad deed

Believers Sould Set the Example

Answer 16

haha I agree with Muslimah.

What isn't haram? Seriously though, they keep coming up with new things that are haram that I've never heard of before, it's almost ridiculous.

Answer 17

Well, it is obvious that if you hurt someone by sarcasm, that is obviously Haram. But sarcasm with good intentions and possibly no harmful results, I'm not quite sure.

049.011 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَسْخَرْ قَومٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَلا نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُنَّ وَلا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلا تَنَابَزُوا بِالألْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الإيمَانِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

049.011 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.

Al-Qur'an, 049.011 (Al-Hujraat [The Private Apartments, The Inner Apartments])

You can't imagine what things have i heard Haram from people's own inventions.

005.087 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ

005.087 O ye who believe! make not unlawful the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, but commit no excess: for Allah loveth not those given to excess.

Al-Qur'an, 005.087 (Al-Maeda [The Table, The Table Spread])

Answer 18

I feel so desperately sad when I read these questions in the Ramadan section. How can so many people live their lives bound by such utter nonsensical rubbish. You are all nuts. There may or may not be a god but if there is he is laughing his head off at you.
