I really doubt nothing haram is being done. The most non haram somali couples still hug and kiss.No is not as long as you don’t do anything haram.
Horrible take. Coffee dates are casual and great ice breakers to see and feel chemistry. Also it takes off that formal vibe
talking to the opposite sex without the presence of a mahram is haram unless it is required i.e work school etc. it's technically considered zina ( it isn't entirely defined as adultery)No is not as long as you don’t do anything haram.
Unfortunately, Somalis unlike other communities hardly set their kids up. Now the average Somali before marrying does kinda date, albeit in a more halal manner in which everything is out in public. No, hugging and kisses isn’t possible if you make sure to always do public activities and go to destinations separately.
Not if you want to attract the type of person worth attracting. Humans, especially women have a natural aversion to stingy people. Just being miserly is a disliked characteristic everywhere, even within friendships, let alone relationships.
Invites you to his house or the park before any formal dates. Coffee dates, complains about gold diggers etc.
Here in the USA, the Somalis that I grew up with did engage in the kind of dating I described. Many people think you have to sleep together to cross the xaram border. Hugging, kissing, holding hands etc... is something that happens quiet a bit in the west among muslims of all communities. Dating should only be done if your intention is to get married, otherwise what is the point? It's a waste of your time at best. I know a lot of the people that do it are young, and they don't know or care for the things I am saying.
I agree, if you’re not intending to marry then it is wrong and rather shitty as 9/10 times one party does have the intention and the other is stringing the person along. Also, thinking kissing is ‘tame’ when it is the gateway for zina is rather worrying. I think people would be surprised but I can imagine amongst Muslims, a lot of couples probably did not have the intention of committing zina, but when you start kissing and ect it could lead to things you’ll regret.
True.
Honestly, think it’s simply the Somali way tbh even our parents generations for the most part mostly found each other with the occasional arranged meeting from friends and family. I think we should be more community based and help our kids find likeminded partners without the pressures of arranged marriages but that is also halal.
I like that we have got the freedom to choose mates in our culture, it's actually a good thing. But it does need some polishing, get family and friends involved and have them help you check the dude(for women) because always stand to lose more. For young men, if their father has been living and present in their lives, they should be responsible, strong and ready to lead a family by their mid 20s.
Again I said what I said. Nothing is wrong with dating as long as nothing haram is being done. Period.
No it is not. We can talk to the opposite sex I don’t know what kind of Islam you follow but there are guidelines as long no haram is happening there is nothing wrong with talking with the opposite sex. Audibileh wax walan tahay
If there's no practical reason to then yes it is haram lol, this is literally basic orthodoxy. Please post whatever "guideline" you speak of.
is your mahram there?
haye adeer. go live your best life sister.
Of course there is a reason always you make it seem like we should never have human interaction with the opposite sex . Get a life
