[QUOTE]Originally posted by Exiled: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by harankash: [qb] [/qb][/QUOTE]Exiled now correct me if I am wrong but I put a few points of what you said to my moslem Egyptian husband. Q) is it considered right in Islam for a married man to sit in the company of females in the absence of his wife in public who are not of his family for the purpose of pleasure ie not work or business. A) No Q) is it acceptable for a married Moslem to be in nightclubs drinking alcohol with women whilst the moslem wife is at home. A) No, alcohol is forbidden and why would a married man be in a nightclub. Q) is is acceptable for a married moslem man to sit close enough to a woman who is not his wife and not related in a cafe or nightclub? A) definitely not. He is not allowed to touch another female not of his family and reluctantly shake a hand of those who are not. He said that decent moslem women rarely offer their hands with the exception of westerners as that is their culture to shake hands. [b]Alcohol is explicitly forbidden in Islam and I don’t think there is any kind of controversy in this regard. The teachings and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad(saw) also forbids the mingling of sexes. I am not sure what some other sects that deviate from the sunnah believe in this regard considering that such mingling is not stated in the Quran and possibly similarly to the hijab where the Sunnah deems it obligatory yet Quranists contend otherwise. [/b] Yes I can agree with you in that Al Azhar should be tackling this problem but what have they been doing all these centuries if not just that? [b]Epidemic sexual harassment is more or less a recent phenomenon as is the explosion in population and the massive migration to urban areas. Keep in mind that cities have seen a huge influx of males from the countryside, many of whom migrated alone seeking better jobs and in the process attained more freedoms to do as they please and wish. 30 years ago life was so much simpler and without the ideas that many people put in their minds however delusional. Al-Azhar needs to act now and to do so they need female voices to ascertain that action is taken. [/b] What are the Imams teaching on Fridays? Why dont they encourage women to listen to the Khutbah! Why are the wives left at home doing laundry, whilst the men go to the Friday prayers then the cafe to leer afterwards or wander the malls, then the nightclub alone after having dinner with the wife to meet up with female friends? [b]I obliged in answering the beginning of your post which was off topic and irrelevant to sexual harassment but doing again would expend my courtesy.[/b] I dont agree or disagree with it. I think segregation is wrong, but I have to say that I have complete confidence in him as a husband, I trust him 100%, I have never doubted him, he always puts my interest before his own, he is totally respectful of women and their privacy and reputations, he never sits in cafes with his friends except maybe once for an hour every 6 months to catch up. When we visit male and female friends we are together. Members here can verify. So maybe there is something in it???? [b] Individual praise is irrelevant because we are talking about a society that is 90% muslim and 50% illiterate. What any individual personally feels of the merits of one individual can not be used as an argument to suggest similar behavior is possible in a general sense. [/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
