This is just too much, do you agree?

Question

How many Muslims agree that the following things are NOT haram?

-To have an antique statue of a figure in your house?

- Not to shake a womans hand?

- Not to look at a woman in her eyes when you are talking to her?

All of these for me are excuses and petty things, i know people who dont do all of those things and still cheat people.

Hypocrites.

Answer 1

these are all arabic traditions. NOT islam. about the statue: as long as it doesnt repressent a prophet or god, and you don't pray to it, its all good

Answer 2

Three things above are HARAAAM

Chapter 4 -

49)Have you not seen those who speak very highly of their own purity even though they are committing shirk. In fact, Allah purifies whom He wishes. If the pagans are not purified, no injustice - even equal to the thread of a date-stone - is being done to them.

50)See how they invent a lie against Allah, and this in itself is enough to show their manifest sin.

51)Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Book? They believe in superstition and Taghut (forces of Satan) and say about the unbelievers that they are better guided to the Right Way than the believers!

Answer 3

No as all are Haram.

The angels do not enter a house that have statues in it, and the angels bring mercy from Allah.

shaking a Woman's/man hand is also haram as the prophet S.A.W. said: It is better for one of you to be pricked with a needle on the head than to touch what is un -awful for you.

Looking at a woman/man is haram as Allah says in the quraan: Tell the believing men to lower their gaze, and to protect their private parts. that is purer for them. Indeed Allah is Well-Aware of what they do. in soorah an-Noor 24:30

A poet said: "A look then a smile then a greeting, then speech, then an appointment, and then an encounter"

Ramadan Mubarak :)

Answer 6

- To have an antique statue of a figure in your house?

Not sure if this is haram.. But what i noe is, when there is a statue in the home, the angels will not enter the house. And therefore, the house will have no berkat.. i believe when we live according to Allah's way, we will have berkat, which will make our life on this earth more easier, as Allah will help and answered those prayers whom he give his berkat to..

- Not to shake a womans hand?

Bcoz of skin contact... If God said tht skin contact btw a male n female is not wrong, don't u think that we as humans will do as we pleases? which will lead to some not so good endings??

- Not to look at a woman in her eyes when you are talking to her?

When u look a woman in her eyes, then satan will spark the fire of attraction btw the two of u.. if u have iman and strong self control, u can resist the temptations of having s*x... but if not, u will do as u please.. which might lead to some bad things..

What Allah asks us to do or not do, are for our benefit.. there are reasons behind them which these actions serves as a prevention fm a chain of bad things.. Allah has perfect knowledge..

Answer 7

I don't agree. BTW, isn't it funny how people are accused of being close-minded when they don't agree with a particular person or way of thinking? A lack of consensus is not the same as the absence of thought.

Answer 8

it's really not about whether you or anybody else agree or not , it's only about what god allowed us to do or not to do .

god says in the holy Quran :

It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path.

----------------------------

Abu Talhah  narrated that the Messenger of Allaah , said that angels do not enter a house where there is a dog or a picture. [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

The Prophet  said: “If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, it would be better for him than touching a woman whom he is not permitted to touch.”

He Almighty Says (what means): “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allaah is Acquainted with what they do.” [Quran 24: 30]

the Prophet (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: " Allah has written for Adam's son his share of Zina ( fornication & adultery) which he commits inevitably. The Zina of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at a forbidden thing), the Zina of the tongue is the talk, and the inner self wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it ".

--------------------------------------...

creating dogs or any other creature in this planet or outside the planet is part of the big circle of life .

everything and every single creature have his own role to play .

maybe we know it , maybe we don't , this is not the issue here .

but science do agree on that.

since we know that Allah is the creator and that he knows us better than we know ourselves , so we must admit that god didn't forbid us from doing something unless this thing will harm us in a certain way .

so it's for our own protection .

Answer 9

Haram

Answer 10

i think all are not haraam except the first one i think has underlying meanings associated with the time before Islam came

but if i am talking to a man and he does not look me in the eye and instead looks down at the floor the whole time, i will think he is stupid and disrespectful
