While social media usage isn't necessarily prohibited during Ramadan, Muslims often change how they interact with it during the Holy Month.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from eating any food, drinking any liquids, smoking cigarettes, and engaging in any sexual activity, from dawn to sunset. That includes taking medication (even if you swallow a pill dry, without drinking any water).
We should be abstaining from all social media which would include TikTok. Spend that time reading Quran, listening to recitation, go to dhikr, volunteer. There's so much we can do outside of social media.
In Islam a person is forbidden from looking at things that depict nudity, violence and immoral actions or listening to things that have obscene language and themes. The general guidance is that if movies are free of these things then they you are allowed to watch it but if they feature in the film then it is haram.
According to recent research, the answer is yes. YouTube viewing is on the rise in Ramadan, offering flexibility and unique entertainment in the busiest period of the year.
While there is no place in the Quran that expressly forbids listening to music during Ramadan, several sects and Islamic religious leaders believe that listening to any kind of music will take your focus off of prayer and the celebration of Ramadan. Others claim that listening to tambourine and daf music is acceptable.
Listening to music is haram, whether in Ramadan or at other times, but it is more forbidden in Ramadan, and is a greater sin.
According to the Irish Times, "a majority of Muslims" follow the view taken by modern scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi that music is forbidden "only if it leads the believer into activities that are clearly defined as prohibited, such as drinking alcohol and illicit sex".
Of course! We believe that as long as the show does not go against any part of our Islamic beliefs it should be fine. While it can be misunderstood in the Muslim community, you CAN watch most anime based on their demographics depending on what your interests are.
The Content of Streaming Platforms
Put simply, there is no scriptural basis for streaming services to be haram. However, there is some content that may very well be considered haram. Although streaming networks are relatively new, the question of whether their content is halal or haram is not.
For those who are single, conversations with other people are okay but flirting with someone isn't allowed because it could lead to being more intimate. So it's advised not to go on dates or attend parties. Scholars also ask people to dress and act modestly.
And so, a new generation of Muslim content creators have turned to TikTok to show Muslims in a way that Hollywood can't: authentically. Munera (@iconiccpinkk) and her sister Fatima (@iconicgreen1) post short bursts of wildly inventive and chaotic humor.
The answer is yes, you can use your phone and tech devices during Ramadan. Although it's advised to not waste too much time on your phone so you can prioritise spiritual and religious practices during the holy month.
During the hours of fasting on each day of Ramadan, any intimate activity is not allowed. This means it's only ok for couples to kiss, hug, cuddle and have sex in the hours before fasting begins and after it ends - as long as they are husband and wife.
Committing sins during the day in Ramadan, such as swearing or insulting others, does not invalidate the fast as such, but it detracts from the reward for fasting. These sins may take away all of the reward, and the fasting person is left with nothing as a result of his fast apart from hunger and thirst.
Breaking Bad
The sex scenes in this series aren't as frequent as some of the other series out there, but the drug use, profanities and occasional nudity will make it difficult to watch while fasting.
No, it isn't haram. When it comes to discovering anything such as music, movies, gaming, cartoons, or anime, there are mainly 3 things to look out for if something is haram (of course there are more, but these are what you need to look out for the most.)
Its okay but you should avoid from watching anime on genre ecchi or romance .
Talking, and initiating or answering greetings are strongly discouraged. When defecating together, two men cannot converse, nor look at each other's genitals. Eating any food while on the toilet is forbidden.
Many Muslim scholars now do not see the beard as an obligation and do shave their beards. Muslims learn about the Prophet's views on facial hair not from the Koran, but through hadith - or sayings - attributed to Muhammad.
Nevertheless, Islamic scholars have tended to regard dogs' saliva as impure; practically, this means anything licked by a dog necessitates washing. Many Islamic jurists allowed owning dogs for herding, farming, hunting, or protection, but prohibited ownership for reasons they regarded as "frivolous".
Have no fears about breaking your fast while brushing your teeth. Unless you swallow toothpaste, the chances of it spiking your insulin and breaking your fast are slim.
In addition to smoking, Muslims are also required to abstain from all other forms of tobacco and addictive substances while fasting for Ramadan. Since vaping does typically involve inhaling nicotine into the lungs, this is a violation of the fast.
Brushing teeth during the fast is not in itself forbidden, but can create increased saliva. It is not forbidden to swallow your own saliva, and a gentle brush may help to remove plaque. Some believers feel uncomfortable using toothpaste during the fast, due to the minty taste.
