Blogs are un-Islamic
2005-03-22
From the Dept. of But We Knew That Already:
Recently, many people have been asking about the permissibility of blogs, i.e. online diaries - I'm sure many of us have seen and read them. I submitted a question to Mufti Nawalur-Rahman about them, the answer can be heard here:

Allhamdullilah.

The translation for non-urdu speakers (provided by brother salman):

Going to websites like these will not be permissible, because they contain personal matters and also they specify names/identities which can create a path for bay-hayaai (shamelessness), and unlawful relations, and It is a source that may leak out the faults/kharaabiyan "aayb" of muslims. It will not be permissible.

#8  RC,
the list of thinks that are unislamic can be very very long

-- if you took a photo of your wife
-- if you showed that photo of your wife to a friend
-- if your wife was wearing clothes which showed a little cleavage
-- if you mentioned Allah's name without praising him or Mohammud's name without blessing him
-- if there was music; especially music where a woman was singing
-- if you were playing cards to see who would take out the trash

#4  YES!

I gotta do more blogging.

So let's see: the ultimate in un-Islamic would be blogging about your wife's role in making family decision while eating pork and drinking a beer.

Did I miss anything?

#1  Un-Islamic. Hmmm. So is everything else. So don't do it.

I suggest immediate adoption of the, um, Islamic Birth Creed:

Never do anything for the first time.

And that, would take care of that everything.
