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.
