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

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

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

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

Muslim watch dramas, Korean dramas? May Allah

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

bless you. As far as watching dramas is

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

concerned, we should see to it that whatever

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

we do, the basic principle in Islam is

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

it should be within the purviews of the

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

Islamic sharia. So whenever we are watching any

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

drama

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

or any documentary, we should see to it

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

that it does not involve in anything that

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

is haram. We

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

see that most of the dramas,

00:00:34 --> 00:00:34

unfortunately,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

they have music. They have women that are

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

not dressed modestly.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

So most of the dramas,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

they contain something that is haram. Either music

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

or women

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

that are dressed immodestly.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

So if the drama, it is within the

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

purpose of the Islamic sharia, there is no

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

problem in it. But most of the dramas,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

they contain something or the other that is

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

haram. So it is normally difficult to find

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

such Korean dramas that you have mentioned. We

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

see that all of these dramas, most of

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

them, they contain something that is haram. But

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

if it is within the purview of the

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

Islamic sharia, it does not break any rule

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

of the Islamic sharia

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

and there is no music. There are no

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

women

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

who are dressed immodestly

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

or without the hijab. If they are not

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17

present

00:01:18 --> 00:01:18

in

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

these dramas, then there is no problem. But

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

as we know most of the dramas, majority

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

of the dramas, they contain something or the

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

other that is haram. That is prohibited. We

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

should abstain from watching these kind of dramas

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

which contains something that is haram. If it

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

any drama is there, if it is within

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

the purpose of Islamic sharia, whether it be

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

Korean drama or Indian drama or any other

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

drama, if it does not break any rules

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

of the Islamic sharia,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

then there is no problem in watching such

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

drama. I hope that answers your question.
