My parents do not accept my Muslim boyfriend....

[mrk2010]

Tbh I think this thread has gotten a bit off topic, its essentially about a guy who's parents don't like his boyfriend, no need for the religious debate lol

Your labelling point aside, honour killings are nothing to do with happiness.

Certain cultural attitudes lead members of that culture to perceive an attack on their honour when for instance their daughter dates a boy from another culture, or a son is openly gay. They see it as a slight on their character, as if they've failed and they will be looked down upon by other members of that community.

To restore this honour, well, honour killings. You get the idea.

But yeah, this is all off topic.

Just so we get everyone back on track, lets just all agree there is no need for religion. lol

[zeon]

well religion is part of society which causes issues within in.... If all religions are ment to teach about love and respect then why do some go on about killing others?

mrk, I am sure you know, that religion has a big influence on people's behavior. So this topic is not about what OP's parents want or don't want. It's about the question, if their worry is reasonable, or not.

The reason religion is a force here is because the title says "my Muslim boyfriend"....Muslim is a religion...not a nationality.

No offense but this is non-existence in the religion. I was raised as a Muslim and well educated in the religion. Bestiality has to do more with culture. Same goes with honor killing.

No offense taken Jay , thank you.
I may have gotten confused regarding breaking of the hajj.
At least Gods throne wont shake with this one.

Here are is a link

Islamic scholars

Some Islamic scholars have ruled that bestiality does not invalidate the hajj or ones fast.
Sunni Imam Abu Bakar al-Kashani (d. 587 H) records in his authority work 'Badaye al-Sanae' Volume 2 page 216:

ولو وطئ بهيمة لا يفسد حجه
"If he had sexual intercourse with an animal, that will not make his hajj void"[16]
In Fatawa Qadhi Khan, Page 820, the learned Hanafi scholar Allamah Hassan bin Mansoor Qadhi Khan sets out those acts that do not invalidate one's fast, and he includes:
"Sex with animals, dead people and masturbation, does not invalidate one's fast provided ejaculation does not occur"[16]
Fatawa Qadhi Khan, Page 820

Others have said it is halal.
لقد كانت نكاح الحيوانات قبل البعثه منتشره وتروى كثير من الروايات انها حلال لكنها مكروه والاحوط وجوبا ترك هذه العاده التي تسبب الأذى النفسي ويجب عليك الاعتراف لصاحب الاغنام ودفع قيمتها لمالكها


Sex with animals before the mission (Islam) was wide spread and many narrations are narrated that it is halal but makrooh (disliked). And on the compulsory precaution one should abandon this practice that may cause self harm. And you must admit this to the owner of the sheep and pay the owner.[17]
Sex with animals Fatwa

Huh, that was something new to me.

I've never heard of this scholar before. Such a ridiculous fatwa from a so called scholar.

In Islam, they are countless of scholars. But a scholar's fatwa does not mean a thing until it has been agreed and approved by numbers of scholars and Islam schools of law.

A fatwa is an Islamic religious ruling, a scholarly opinion on a matter of Islamic law. Muslims first need look at the fatwa (opinion), the reputation of the person giving it, the evidence given to support it, and then can only decide whether to follow it or not.

Islam followers are divided by two. One group follows the Sunni and the other one follows Shia. It's like Catholic, Protestant etc. Sunni and Shia were founded by Madh'hab (Muslim school of law).

Sunni Islam was split into four schools (Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi'i and Hanbali). Sunni Muslims prefer to follow only one Madh'hab (Normally a regional preference). My country follows Shafi'i as it suits with our environment, politic etc. Shafi'i's teaching is mild and moderate. South East Asia mostly follows Shafi'i.

Shia Islam is the other denomination of Islam. Just like Sunni, Shia is based upon teachings of the Koran and the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. The huge difference between Shia with Sunni is that Shia believes that only God has the right to choose a representative to safeguard Islam. For this reason, the Shia follows Ali instead of Muhammad. Ali or his full name, Ali ibn Abi Talib is the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad.

Sunni Islam highly disagree with Shia's practice. We in Malaysia, do not practise Shia.

As for the link that you've provided, no offense. I do not take Wiki.com and Wiki.net seriously as both can be amended by anyone.

I wish I can elaborate this subject more clearer but I am not able to as there are two many branches and subtopics inside this subject.

P.S: I'm well versed and have revised Koran multiple of times in my life. Never in my life stumbled into a passage that supports bestiality. As conservative and backward Islam can be, it does not support bestiality and sex with dead people. Masturbation is a no in Islam.

Follow your heart. Sometimes you have to go against your parent's wishes. They're only worried about you. Just get them around him to hang out and show them hes ok. That and quell their anxities, they are your parents, only want whats best for you. So continue to see him as to respect your own wishes, but also try and help your parent's out as well.
