Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalaamoalaikum, hope you are fine by the grace of Allah(swt). i know that watching pornographic movies or pornography itself is haram. but my question is that when we are shown the videos in sex education class in high school, would those movies be considered unappropriate and haraam? because i haven`t had that class yet but i have heard that they show the whole process, etc. and obviously it`ll have people with their clothes off, etc. so would it be considered as a sin? please do reply to me as soon as possible, jazakallah.take care, Allah hafiz

Answer:

 

Watching pornographic movies is a sin?

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,  no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah and His Messenger (saws) have strictly prohibited the believers from seeing any other person, other  their spouses,  in a naked condition.   Whatever names, and under whatever pretence the ignorant people propagate these immoral education programs, it would always be considered inappropriate and haraam for the believers, who sincerely believe in Allah and the Last Day, to participate in them.

 

The believers are advised to obey Allah and His Messenger (saws) unconditionally in all facets of their lives; and recognize and abstain from the evil designs of the ignorant people who act under the guidance of Shaitaan.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,
