Facebook is Haraaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!

[Salu]

@redvelvet

Alcohol is haram. Is being in a setting where alcohol is served haram? For example…desi wedding with open bar? Being in a restaurant which serves alcohol?

^Should you avoid these settings all together or should you use the brain and conscience that Allah blessed you with and do what you know is RIGHT in such a setting?

See what I mean? No, I don’t think being on facebook is too bad…but it also depends on how you conduct yourself on that site. If you conduct yourself in an improper manner…you can’t really blame the site then can you? You have to accept responsibility for your own actions.

You can opt to 1) not put your picture up 2) make your profile visible to only certain people 3) not accept friendship requests from people you don’t know (as some individuals like to do), etc. There’s much that you can do yourself to keep out of harm’s way

Your friend should chill. I know someone who tries to follow every Islamic rule to the T. And she’s made her religion so hard for herself that she gets frustrated and doesn’t remain consistent, makes blatant contradictions, and even violates the most simple of rules.

I know I am going off topic but seriously do you think a restaurant that serves Alcohol will really care about halal/haram. I dont think so, which means everything they serve, chicken,beef, or whatever, there is a good chance that it is haram and they might be using alcohol to give “taste”. I personally will never eat at a place that serves alcohol no matter how much they claim they have halal food or whatever.

That ofcourse doesn’t apply if you are one of those people who think “Bismillah par, halal hojaiega”. I am not, for me it has to have 100% proof halal for me to eat it

And I dont understand why will there be open bar in a desi wedding, I know it happens but I can’t stand it. Just because it is a wedding doesn’t mean we should go all crazy and start drinking and again if people do it they obviously dont care enough about halal/haram

As for the facebook, like everyone else said it all depends on what you do it. Personally I dont like their policy according which all my pictures and everything are owened by facebook and they can use it for whatever they want, so now I deleted all pictures and got rid of my friend list (I can still talk with them on phone/msn) and the only reason I still have my acount is because I get to know about all different events happening in my city.
