Facebook / Online behavior ethics Today we are getting on internet & its impossible to supervise or deny access Facebook twitter /social sites etc are part of our lives Most of among us are unaware what we can do & how we should avoid falling into sins or situations which can lead to sin. Some perspectives are given here; 1.Making good use of your free time Prophet (s) advises Abu Dharr (r.a.): O Abu Dharr! Make use of five things before they are replaced by five things: Your youthful days before old age, your health before your sickness, your independence before your dependence, your free time before you get busy, and your life before your death 2. Avoiding worship of celebrities and others false gods. Why do you worship that which neither hears nor sees, and is of no avail to you in any way? (Surah Maryam (19), 42) 3. Maintain your reputation From Imam Ridha (a): A believer is not a believer unless...he protects his own secrets. Ali Radiyullahu Anhu said Do not publicize your evil deeds for doing so is among the most severe of sins. 4. Speaking with non-Mahrams From a fatwa by Imam Khumayni: A woman can talk to a non-mahram man given the conditions below: √Not for out of a desire to satisfy one’s lustful pleasure √No chance of falling into haraam √Not with intention of enticing that man into doing something haraam √Not speak in a way that is arousing, for example making her voice thin and soft and inviting so that he desires her √Not say things that are arousing And overall, for a woman to speak with a non-mahram man in conditions where the benefit does not outweigh the potential harm is makrooh. 5. Looking at non-Mahrams “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts…” [al-Noor 24:30] Huzoor Sallallahu Alayh Wasallam commanded Ali Radiyullahu Anhu said: Ali! Do not look once after another, for the first look is for you (since it happens accidentally) while the second is against you. If you look illegally at someone else’s non Mahram, someone will look at yours. Via: Sheikh Salim Yousufali
