If something is wrong according to Islam, its wrong…thats all there is to it.
People can choose to do what they want and ignore it, no one will hold them accountable aside from Allah swt. Its a free world; none of us are playing God by stopping someone from doing what they wish.
By all means: have a boyfriend, wear whatever you want, go wherever you want with whoever you want.
But DONT try to call it “halal” by slanting the situation. Its not “halal” and thats the bottom line. Islam is pretty clear about its guidelines and since none of us are the best of Muslims…the least we can do is leave those guidelines alone and stop trying to blur them.
Ever come across this? Where someone is obviously doing something wrong but justifying it with Islam in every way to try and feel better about themselves?

Re: Blurring the lines between right and wrong…a new trend
AND i heard sania mirza saying in an interview : “I come from a cultured and devoted Muslim family. But I believe Islam preaches forgiveness. We all commit sins but the dress I wear is a practical necessity and not something I wear out of choice. You will never see me in shorts or skirts on the streets or in Bazaars. Everyone seeks forgiveness for their mistakes and I keep hoping and praying that God forgives me.”
iss tarah tau prostitutes bhi yehi kahayngee..‘yeh hamari majboori hai’ :halo:
Re: Blurring the lines between right and wrong...a new trend
I've also got a classic line for you people: "No, drinking alcohol is not forbidden, only getting drunk is"... So if I then say - Why have I seen you drunk so many times? The gem of an answer which I often get from such people is: "Hey, I'm only human"...
As my late mother would have said: "Kuttay ki duum hamaisha tairri ho-ti hai"!
Absolutely! And there are some things that cannot be avoided at times like eating non-zabiha meat if you’re living in an area where there is no zabiha.
njgal, none of us are perfect by any means. Im not…I do plenty of things that are wrong. Lekin, I should at least have ehsaas or a conscious. I cant sit there and say its okay for me to do XYZ…the least I can do is acknowledge my own wrong doing.
Re: Blurring the lines between right and wrong...a new trend
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've read (not sure if it's a hadith) that some matters are clearly forbidden in Islam......others are allowed...........and others are doubtful........and that it's better not to get involved in matters that carry a doubtful stance.
As far as justifying is concerned.....I think many (if not All of us) have done this. We might justify something by saying to ourselves and others "Oh, well, yeah, but everyone does it." ........ "It's not the worst thing in the world"......."There are bigger sins than this....this is fairly mild....in fact it may not even be a sin".........."It's okay, it's human nature".......even "Allah is forgiving, it's okay."
^These are common justifications. But, yes, you're right........that to deem haram what has been clearly stated halal or to deem halal what has been clearly stated as halal..... is more than just a "justification".....it falls into "innovation".....and that itself can carry dire consequences.
With doubtful issues.....there's room for a debate even among the scholars. But when things have been clearly specified....that's not the case.
and let’s not forget music… of which I’m a culprit too!
