Friendship In Islam advice x

Assuming you're from Britain. We live in the same society.
So what you're essentially saying is, you're happy to isolate and refuse to integrate within society. Pretty unproductive if you ask me.

Pretty weak argument to be honest.
Surely, if you were that close to the deen you would have enough willpower to resist anything occurring and you would be able to self prevent yourself. Rather than isolating yourself with ~50% of the country.

Can you tell me the etiquette about talking to the opposite gender?

And can you keep in touch through texting or Facebook?😊😊

There we go then.

Pornography isn't mentioned in the Quran or hadith either, does that make it permissible to watch?
Allah has given us aql for a reason

Right. Because watching two (or more) people having sexual intercourse is comparable with having a mutual relationship with a person who is the opposite gender.

I'm not that religious myself( although I'm on my way in trying to change that.) they asked whether or not it was permissible. The answer I think technically is no. But I did say at the beginning that I myself have many male friends- I'm in-differential about it, I could go without being close to lots of guys but in the past I chose not to.
Plus it's advised- not entrenched.

To be accepted by the society a female does need a male friend and vice versa. Talking when necessary is another thing but we are talking about being friends here like a female would be with their female friends and same for males.

It is to prevent causing that risk even if you are the most controllable person on this earth, it is a rule that must be apllied to all. As anyone can say nah I am not like that and can resist etc but that very person ends up developing feelings in the friendship and then trouble starts or can from there.

ok kids lets just establish something

friends with opposite gender is absolutely fine shall i tell u why- because u dont have intentions to make out with your friends do u- if u do they're not you're friends anymore ur trying to turn them into you're boyf or gf and yeah thats not allowed till after marriage

friends are fine as long as they stay as friends but i think certain ppl on this thread dont have a good idea of what the what friend means

Thank you! There's no harm being friends with the opposite gender, as long as it doesn't become something more!

Every Muslim woman has secret non-Muslim friends.

Never used the word accepted.
I said to integrate, which is fact. How can you integrate within a open society if you're unprepared to make friends of the opposite gender. Networking is a key skill in most middle management+ jobs.

Before you tell me, "Oh talking is fine and if its required for work its allowed" Its the same thing. Same argument, women and men alike could develop feelings to another person just talking or networking.
Thats another issue here, the word friend is so subjective. It's virtually impossible to not be "friends" with a person of the opposite gender in a free society. Even talking can be classified as "friends".

Hate to break it to you but even most non-muslims manage to stay friends without anything occurring. They dont even have the fear of jahannam behind them. Most people have self control, I personally think you're being naive. You're giving the human race/Muslims in particular less credit then they deserve.
If you develop feelings then you should be able to cut that person off if required.

Thought crime isnt illegal within Islam, you're judged on your actions and them actions are your responsibility. If you cant handle your own actions thats your problem, thats an insecurity in your religion and willpower.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree here.
