Fariq Naik – Can a Muslim use Halal dating apps

			Assalamu Alikum che Farik What is
your opinion about the halal
		

			dating apps that young people are
using nowadays?
		

			You need to realize that there is
nothing as Halal dating, dating
		

			itself. It is haram and Islam. Now
what is dating? Dating is when two
		

			people, when a boy or a girl, they
meet each other, and they meet for
		

			a romantic relation. So this is
basically dating and this is the
		

			purpose of dating. So you are
going out on a coffee, you are
		

			going out for lunch, you're going
out for dinner with a girl or a
		

			girl going out with a boy all this
is completely prohibited in Islam.
		

			Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him. He said that if a man
		

			and a woman are alone in a room,
the third person is the devil. So
		

			there is no concept of Halal
dating in Islam, dating itself. It
		

			is haram. If you are interested in
someone, you want to get married
		

			to someone. So you talk to their
parents, you talk to their family,
		

			and you go through the correct
method. You follow the rules of
		

			Sharia. There is nothing like LBW
love before wedding in Islam. If
		

			you are interested in someone, you
follow the rules of Sharia, you
		

			talk to their parents, you talk to
their family, and then you can get
		

			married. Halal dating is like you
telling me is there something as
		

			Halal alcohol,
		

			but actually no. Is there
something as Halal pork, but
		

			natural? No. So that's the reason
there is nothing as Halal dating
		

			in Islam. And Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Glorious Quran in
		

			surah Baqarah Chapter number two
while at the wo hotel at the
		

			shaytaan do not follow the
footsteps of the devil. So
		

			anything that leads to something
that is haram, we should stop it
		

			then and there itself. So all
these things, first you want to
		

			meet then you want to greet then
you want to go on a coffee, then
		

			you want to visit this person and
then eventually you fall into the
		

			shameful act of committing sin. So
Islam believes in stopping
		

			anything that leads to things that
are prohibited. So that's the
		

			reason all these things they are
prohibited in Islam you meeting
		

			the opposite gender you
communicating with them, texting
		

			them going out for a coffee, going
out for lunch, going out for
		

			dinner, all these things they are
prohibited
