Okay, so I have a lot of online friends and I know that some of them are looking to get married soon. Now the thing is, they are “online” friends, so I havent met either the girls or guys in person. I have told some of my friends that I will introduce them to a guy/girlfriend of mine, but then I get asked how well do I know the other person. I dont believe I know them very well because we havent met. So my question is, if you are my online friend would you accept getting to know someone else whom I met online and are introducing to you as a potential? Would you be open to that? Would you hold me accountable if the person ends up being someone you dont really like?
I have been hesitant thus far because I dont know if my friends expect me to know so much about the other person and I am afraid that I am gonna get yelled at for introducing someone they find to be either annoying, not their type at all, etc. Although this can happen even if have met someone, cause people tend to be a little different with “potentials”.
I am talking about a case where both the girl and the guy are online friends.
lol...I know you can introduce lots of girls to me but in the end they all will ask me to come over and I am not interested to travel to see them...I can't figure it out, how come... :)
i think it depends on how long u’ve known them on the net.. it totally depends on how the two people feel about being introduced.. some are more willing than others.. not all think alike..
and about whether ur online friend A thinks B is annoying… thaz not ur fault.. even if u introduced two people in ‘real life’ .. that problem would come up.. all ur doing is helping two people meet… its up to them (and Allah Mian ofcourse) whether something does happen…
theres no harm in introducing them… but maybe u could just have a three way conversation.. and make it less formal…
I agree with Maddy. You should try to meet them both in person being going further and introducing them to each other. Trust me, sometimes even when you think you know someone from either online or having met them in person, you still may be very wrong about them. It’s a chance one takes. In addition, both parties should have no reason to blame you if things don’t go right. Let it be their own blind date without you being involved at that point.
Outside of this post, lot of guppies dont seem to be against the idea and are encouraging. However, some have brought up the thought that its not very "Islamic." Hmm. Gotta think about that.

IF you have not met them..then no i wouldn't...people can hide a lot of things online and can be very different in real life.
Otherwise I see nothing unislamic about introducing friends.

According to Al-Quran, 2 people cant meet(no mediation or parents involvement required) and if they like each other...they can go ahead...like getting married...I don't know what Munni is talking about islam or islamic guys...Many people talk about islam with no knowledge or just a street knowledge...hmmmmmmm
