Title of Fatwa :Internet Chats Between Males and Females
Date of Fatwa :14/ September/ 2003
Date of Reply: 14/ September/ 2003
Topic Of Fatwa : Manners
Question of Fatwa:
Respected scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Many teens seek out
boy/girlfriends online, and have actually dated. Furthermore many Muslims
are using online chats to seek friends and chat, but as we all know most men
and women are seeking more than just friends. They are possibly looking for
a future wife or husband. What is the Islamic stance on that?

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His
Messenger.
Dear sister in Islam, you have raised a very important question, which
reflects what is common nowadays among youth, or, rather, what has become a
vogue on which majority don't even bother to know what are the restrictions
dictated by religion, in order to preserve morality in the society. Thanks
to the sophisticated means of modern communication, everyone finds himself
at the mercy of all what is new in technology.
Thus, it's very important for Muslim youth to know where he stands, and to
always keep in mind that, as he is given full right to make use of any
golden opportunity offered by modern technology, he is also required not to
forget the duty he owes the Mighty Power that subjects to Him all such
avenues of comfort and prosperity. He must not deviate, whatsoever, from the
teachings of his religion, in order to preserve his noble identity.
Answering the questions you raised, Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former
President of the Islamic Society of North America, states:
"You have raised a number of serious questions. First is the question about
the Internet Chats between males and females. Second is about seeking a
matrimonial partner - husband or wife - in this way and talking to the
future spouse.
Internet chat is very similar to writing letters or talking to someone on
phone. Actually it is a combination of both. Muslims have to observe the
same rules as they observe in writing letters or making telephone calls.
Islam does not permit love letters or intimate conversations between males
and females who are not married to each other.
In all our correspondence and conversations we must observe haya' or
modesty. Boys and girls should not chat with each other just for
socialization or passing time. It is haram (unlawful) for a non-mahram
Muslim male and female to indulge in long conversations with each other
unless it is necessary for education or for business. All conversation must
be decent. The Qur'an reminds us again and again that all our words are
recorded and we shall be held accountable for our words as well as our deeds
on the Day of Judgment. (See Al-Ahzab 33:70; Qaf 50:18)
If one finds an interesting partner through Internet and there is a
desire to know more about each other in order to get married, then one
should involve one's elders in this matter. Let the elders or some
responsible friends do the investigation and negotiation on your behalf.
Even when you want to talk to that person, it is good to have an elder
present in this chat. In Islam the khalwah (privacy) with the non-Mahram
female (ajnabiyyah) is forbidden. Khalwah of course occurs when a male and a
female are alone in person. But a virtual khalwah can also happen through
conversation by phone or Internet. Just as men and women should not be alone
with each other, in a similar way they should not be alone to talk to each
other on phone or via Internet chat, especially if this conversation is
about personal matters."
Excerpted, with slight modifications, from: http://pakistanlink.com
To conclude, communication between a man and a woman should be of a goal
that complies with enjoying what is good and preventing what is bad. Any
communication or chatting between a man and a woman if not for a good cause,
it will be a possibility for the cause of Shaytan (Satan). One should always
ask him/herself why do I want to write to that man/woman or to talk to
him/her? The answer will be helpful to take action. Keep far away from
desire as Satan has very complicated approaches to insinuate you deviate
from righteousness.

Title of Fatwa: Online Chatting in the Eyes of Shari`ah

Question of Fatwa:
Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I want to know if chatting online is
haram (forbidden)? My chats, with the Muslim people only, are clean and
there are no bad intention chats. Jazakum Allah khayran.
Name of Mufti: Sheikh Ahmad Kutty

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His
Messenger.
Dear brother in Islam, you have raised a very important question, which
reflects a common trend nowadays among our youth and others, when the
majority don't even bother to learn the restrictions that are dictated by
religion to preserve morality in society. Thanks to the sophisticated means
of modern communication, everyone finds himself tempted to try everything
new in technology.
Thus, it's very important for each Muslim to know where he stands and to
always keep in mind that, as he is given full right to make use of any
opportunity offered by modern technology, he is also required not to forget
the duty he owes to Almighty Allah Who subjects to him all such avenues of
comfort and prosperity. He must not deviate, whatsoever, from the teachings
of his religion, in order to preserve his noble identity.
In response to the question in point, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior
lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, states:
“Chatting with members of opposite sex, whether they are Muslims or
non-Muslims, personally face to face, or on phone or chat lines all fall in
the same category. The haram of it is haram, and the halal of it is halal.
Islam does not allow Muslims to be befriending members of opposite sex for
the sake of companionship or for casual conversations; it has been forbidden
because of its risks; it may entail isolation, lead to unlawful flirting,
and engender unlawful thoughts, desires or lusts.
However, occasional, serious, business-like conversations with the
members of the opposite sex are considered lawful, just as they are lawful
when done face to face so long as one observes the Islamic ethics of
interaction.
Islam teaches that as Muslims we must shun not only that which is clearly
haram, but also everything that creates agitation or doubt or restlessness
in our souls. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Sin is
that which causes agitation in your heart or mind; whereas virtue is that
which the heart is content and at peace about!â€
So engaging in unnecessary chatting may lead to unforeseen consequences.
It may also engender doubts and suspicions in our minds as well in the minds
of others. So we are best advised to shun them altogether in the first place
in order to safeguard our religion and honor. The Prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him) said: “Halal is clear; haram is clear, but there are
certain cases which are dubious or doubtful; whoever shuns them safeguards
his religion and honor; whoever falls into them risks falling into haram
like a shepherd who lets his herd graze around the forbidden territory, for
it may thus encroach upon the forbidden territory!â€
