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
