2:187 Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah. Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn self-restraint.
Scholars have explained in details what that above red part of ayah means in the context I was talking about.
TJ - I think what Sara was talking about was a bit more than a kiss in public. It was a make out session in public, which is gross no matter who or what is making out. A kiss or two, holding hands, a hug, none of those are offensive and they are kind of cute. But Standing for an hour or more rubbing up against each other sucking face in public? That is a bit much.
And secondly, unfortunately, the hijab does make a slight difference. I think that is why it bothers her, because the derision people feel walking around displays like that being associated with Islam because of the hijab.
Also, it is funny. I have heard American women being called every sexual slur on this board from the day I joined from both men and women with little or not thought to whether they were slandering or backbiting, apparently it must be permissible to do this to anyone as long as they are not Muslim.
I don't understand the reason why when one Muslim girl is grossed out by a couple making out and bothered by the fact that one is wearing a hijab because of the association with Islam, people jump on her for feeling that way.
Minah didn’t you know…American women are sluts and whores. They are kaffir and are automatically going to hell coz they like to date and wear short skirts … ur right though. They play the “backbiting/gossiping is haram!” card only when it comes to certain Muslims, not even all of them… :halo:
theres a difference between a hijabi and a nun and did u ever see me talk about someone like that? I am not responsible for what other idiots here say. I am talking about sara and how she can hate that girl for something so little, something she could have easily ignored, cuz its more important to look at ourselves and when we are not perfect why expect someone else to be? if someone doesnt see anythign wrong with making out in public, then let them, why does she have to think about it? What good does pointing out imperfection make especially when thers nothing she can do about it? Lets appriciate the girl for wearing the hijab and help sara move on..thats all
TJ most people here only kiss under the sheets, when all the lights are turned off. They are the same people who only have sex to produce, which only takes 1min and their done.
Biologically speaking, that’s what it’s for. What’s wrong with being conservative? Making out in public looks outright animalistic and mind you it is certainly not the most productive way to show affection. It’s rather amusing!
It’s not even about being conservative or not… walk around naked in ur house, have sex with ur partner however you like it, whenever you want, but dont advertise it to the whole world
… ur right though. They play the “backbiting/gossiping is haram!” card only when it comes to certain Muslims, not even all of them… :halo:
