The I-SOC (Islamic Society) XIII

I want to ask if you guys know about sending private messages to someone you don't know but it might be a girl or a boy. If it is a girl and you are a boy is it haram? Can you provide a source if you answer please.
Talking about Islamic things or not

Going to sound like a hypocrite but avoid doing it if it's privately messaging the opposite gender. It's pretty haram since it's 1 to 1 unnecessary conversation between an unrelated boy and girl beyond virtual closed doors. I don't think there's much difference between chatting to the opposite genders on FB or doing it on TSR pm. Islamic things can be talked about in VM's or on threads. Other things can be talked about in the same way. I have personally known people who never thought of entering a haram relationship (or even privately talking to the opposite gender) in real life but yet they ended up doing both of those things online. These relationships they start from somewhere, could even be from Islamic convo or they could be from general chit chat.

I used to think it wasn't the same thing but it basically is. Rules apply online or offline.

Yeah, i wasn't sure about on here. Because i was speaking to someone a through messaging but i didn't know if it was a boy or a girl so i wasn't sure and they weren't answering when i asked them. I mean on here seems less intimidating (thought of being haram) because you don't know them or what they look like or will most likely never meet them but i guess you do get some weird/odd one out type of people that actually do end up meeting or doing other bad stuff.

I agree with Ideas. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasalam said: "No man is alone with a woman is except the third is a shaytan" it starts off innocent and then you get swayed into impermissible things, so yeah try and avoid it in shaa Allah. Good question btw thanks for asking👍

Ah I see. Hopefully they'll reply to you soon. Yh I understand what you mean, I think that's why many practicing Muslims fall into the pitfall because they don't think anything will happen. Tbf those people who I knew, they weren't weird or odd, nor were they in small number.

Lol i didn't mean they were weird. I was talking about the odd few people that meet people in real life from internet forums. By odd i wasn't referring to their personality haha. I mean you do also get odd and weird people that do it and that are likely to do it (pedophiles and etc.).
