Fariq Naik – Can We Watch Korean Drama

			There's a question from YouTube. Mariam Batool. Assalamu
		

			alaikum. Sheikh Farik. I'm from Pakistan. Can a
		

			Muslim watch dramas, Korean dramas? May Allah
		

			bless you. As far as watching dramas is
		

			concerned, we should see to it that whatever
		

			we do, the basic principle in Islam is
		

			it should be within the purviews of the
		

			Islamic sharia. So whenever we are watching any
		

			drama
		

			or any documentary, we should see to it
		

			that it does not involve in anything that
		

			is haram. We
		

			see that most of the dramas,
		

			unfortunately,
		

			they have music. They have women that are
		

			not dressed modestly.
		

			So most of the dramas,
		

			they contain something that is haram. Either music
		

			or women
		

			that are dressed immodestly.
		

			So if the drama, it is within the
		

			purpose of the Islamic sharia, there is no
		

			problem in it. But most of the dramas,
		

			they contain something or the other that is
		

			haram. So it is normally difficult to find
		

			such Korean dramas that you have mentioned. We
		

			see that all of these dramas, most of
		

			them, they contain something that is haram. But
		

			if it is within the purview of the
		

			Islamic sharia, it does not break any rule
		

			of the Islamic sharia
		

			and there is no music. There are no
		

			women
		

			who are dressed immodestly
		

			or without the hijab. If they are not
		

			present
		

			in
		

			these dramas, then there is no problem. But
		

			as we know most of the dramas, majority
		

			of the dramas, they contain something or the
		

			other that is haram. That is prohibited. We
		

			should abstain from watching these kind of dramas
		

			which contains something that is haram. If it
		

			any drama is there, if it is within
		

			the purpose of Islamic sharia, whether it be
		

			Korean drama or Indian drama or any other
		

			drama, if it does not break any rules
		

			of the Islamic sharia,
		

			then there is no problem in watching such
		

			drama. I hope that answers your question.
