is all sort of doodling haram?

maybe but where are the “fullan is not a scholar” fatawas? or that is only applied to saudi scholars due to ta’ssub and partisanship? Yes, let us change Islam because it is so strict! Wearing hijab is strict so let look for opinions which says otherwise. Praying salah is hard so let look for opinions which says otherwise, etc. etc. etc. This is not an attitude of a Muslim! We take whatever Allah has revealed for us!

talked about some necessity cases - maybe not education, but my comments were general

allhamdulillah, I do not watch TV. However, do you have flat out statements from the traditional scholars saying that doing all this is haraam regardless of whether you are missing an obligation or not? Whereas there are such statements from the Salaf and view of the jamhour regarding chess. You could take the minority view that is permissible but not permissible if it makes you miss an obligation. Allahu A’lam

In addition, why are you acting so push-over - this is not how Muslims give da’wah to other Muslims? Whether I watch TV or not is my own affair. But if I deny that watching movies is not haraam then that is a different story. There is a big difference between out-rightly denying a ruling and falling short and committing a sin. We remind each other to not fall short of our duties in a good manner. We also remind each other to follow the haqq and not reject or deny Allah’s rulings.

the ulama have said a picture missing limb(s) is not a complete picture; hence, it does not come under prohibited category. An image is not complete without its body. Hence, smilyes do not fall under that and I have not come across a statment from a scholar saying that missing limb(s) pictures are makrooh and in that case I would have agreed with you that it is better to be safe then sorry later. Therefore, your view on this is extreme. Allahu A’lam

subhaanAllah, again sister, this is not an attitude of a believer while trying to remind each other of our duties. What are you trying to prove by posting such a comment? Is not a good thing that he accepted an Islamic ruling; hence, made a step toward haqq, allhamdulillah. Should you not be happy? Or do you feel like being put down because you did not really accept the ruling because it was strict? There is nothing wrong with being corrected after making a mistake - we are not the kings of this world that we have to feel so arrogant and have such an attitude. To me such attidue is all cultural: “Fullan is not doing a hence why is he telling others to do B or why does he accept B which could be less important”. Really, we are not sincere for each other and may Allah Ta’ala increase us in ikhlaas, ameen

The Prophet (sal-allahu alayhi wa sallam) said that he has not come except to prefect our characters. He (sal-allahu alayhi wa sallam) also said that Allah will hide the flaws (on the day of judgment) of those who hide flaws of other believers. What do you think is better for us?

Secondly, I am sure he does not believe that such thing is halal nor he issues fatawas to say that it is halal. Then why get on his nervous and pick out his flaws instead of reminding him to not to do this and make dua’a for him? Which one do you think is better and will earn us reward?

may Allah Ta’ala guide us all and keep us on haqq, ameen
