Cii: Channel Islam Internation (South Africa): Concerns...

1. IF the Sisters sinned
2. Cii hugely magnified and compunded the sin

My discussions is about Cii and this show.

It is Haram to speculate in Islam about someone and we are commanded to assume the best in our Muslim Brothers and Sisters so in the absence of clear cut evidence I have to assume that the Sisters (even if they recorded it) didn’t intend this for men!

Versus this is clear cut evidence that Cii broadcasted it. If the Sister intended and gave permission for the broadcast they in no way set the policy at Cii. Cii must have came across this (program) and then sought permission and then broadcast it.

I spoke about you writing inappropriately in Sisters (private) section so you may be sinning but if someone makes that public then this is PUNISHABLE in Islam because you should expect privacy of private section to be respected.

So I respectfully disagree with you on publicising and appropriating blame. A Muslim woman has the right to laugh, smile and joke in the presence of women and she shouldn’t be subjected to the psychological torture of thinking that her behaviour will be publicised.

The culprits who make such things public are wrong! We need to give our daughters some breathing space and freedom and not suffocate them and make them look over their shoulders to think the "maybe question"...Absolutely not!

Sisters should be given the freedom and protection to be "women" in their privacy.

 

Even if the event was not private an "Islamic Radio station" should have strong Islamic ethos and framework.

Sister,

Would you like to discuss this systematically or simply agree to disagree because in my opinion you are mistaken.

Sister, you didn't offend me and there is no reason to get offended. But you have Aapa Taalibah have both once again second guessed and presumed the worst before giving someone a chance to speak and set the tone for an argument where none exists and there is no need for one.

I asked for your permission to discuss an issue further, its called courtesy and it should be appreciated and not penalised and mistaken to be an invitation for refutation.

Requesting your duas.

There is no problem with you declining the request because I asked so you have the right to decline. But the part about being offended and Aapa’s general nudging and the rest of your post points that further discussion may get ugly.

Sister, in life people discuss and then agree to disagree. There is nothing wrong with a healthy discussion and then disagreeing, particularly where Islam is concerned as you consult with Ulamah and take the best opinion.

What is dangerous is curtailing (public) discussion, pre-empting strife (and strong feelings) and preventing discussion; this is what got SF in the state that it is in today.

Mufti Saeed Saheb (HA) in his lectures on Hujjatulllah-il-Baligha states that disagreement is a sign of intellect that people are actually thinking, pondering and considering.

Instead of stifling discussions, people should be taught on “how to disagree” ...If disagreements and discussions were thwarted we wouldn’t have 4 Madhabs today

This is precisely what the Bandit-King and his Scholars for Dollars have been trying to do in the Ummah ; destory diversity, stifle discussion and enforce one opinion!

I was trying to have a discussion with my Sister and not trying to show off my intellectual prowess or throw words around in this air so there is no point in making an argument where none exists.

Jazakallahu Khayran for your patience and gratitude.
