Halal Movies
Giancarlo Stewart
I know this sounds like a very vague question, but where can I find a list of appropriate (halal) movies to watch? I really enjoy the classic black and white style movies because they have less nudity, but even they have some inappropriate parts (from a muslim perspective).
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatu Lah Ta'ala wa barakatuhu.
I work as a freelancer in app development, and I want to know the ruling on creating an app for movies that allows users to see new movies from around the world. For example, users can see images, descriptions, and some trailers of the movies, but they cannot watch the movies in this app, only summaries. The app uses a library that contains all the movies( ), and by using this library, I bring all the movies to my app. I have copyright permission from the website that provides this library to use those movies in my apps.
However, as I mentioned, users cannot watch movies except trailers and those trailers are silent by default. Also, I apply a blurry filter to the images so they are not displayed clearly unless the user chooses to disable this feature from the app settings. Additionally, I'm using a filter that removes any movie that may contain inappropriate images or similar content about 95%.
For example;
Eating sugar is halal. But if you have a diabetic disease, and you blood glucose ratio is much above normal, you cannot eat sugar. Because it is suicide.Eating meat of pig is haram. But if you are alone in desert and starving, it becomes halal.
We can't say that watching horror movie is haram. But it can be haram if you enjoy watching people being slaughtered, or if you are wasting your precious time with watching too much movies (e.g.; 6 hours everyday).
A muslim must protect himself/herself from turning in a wrong way (from siratal mustakim - the rightful path defined in Quran). This kind of self protection is called taqwa in Quran. Every kind of detail (like watching horror movies) are not mentioned in Quran and Sunnah; a muslim must have taqwa and make the optimum choice for himself/herself. We are all responsible for making the correct choices about our daily problems.
Allaah has enjoined on the Muslims to preserve its members from doing all that affects the human nature which is created by the worship of God, and that the conservation of that member enters in thanking those great blessing that God bestowed it upon His slaves.
and no one should argue that the the bad effects of those films on the communities in general, what may be a violation of the Islamic faith, educate the violence and to facilitate the crime, and other ill effects.
All these things are haraam, and as all these things will be found in movies, that kind of suggests that movies are haraam. However, I guess if you can find a movie which doesn't have any of those haraam elements, then it could be concidered non haraam?
Shaitan will get you to watch a movie by one or another way. Ex: scary, sexy, fighting, family, love and so on the goal is the same to get you in the game of the SATAN move by move. Show you naked body parts, good dressed women or men so you dont like your wife anymore. Show you how much fun it is to be rich, drugs, alcohol, ect... it is a teaching and trick of the shaitan to get you with nice relaxing brain programming logic.
A movie can only be HARAM if its objective are negative and not on the sheri law the QUARAN, now most movies have harm teaching such as kissing, adultery, women dancing, and to make love priority above all, seeing sex in TV will become normal for the family, showing body parts and other HARMAM things which can turn you and your family in the wrong path with no time. Your house will become clean from angels and dirty.
Most Indian films are based on false loving and dying for the woman or for man they prize love above all that exist which is wrong, it does not teach you why Allah (SWT) sent us here for. As you can see for them loving a girl or boy is everything and if anyone from family comes in between their love, is a devil.
You 'll get lots of dream drinks and dream women in JANNAT Inshallah only if you can keep your short life TAQUA strong and not fall to weak worldly few days life. The women in JANNAT are much much more better and beautiful then you can imagine compared to those false bollywood or hollywood models and even 1000's of times much beautiful, you will have all your phantasies come true in Jannat with your dream women if you have Taqua.Allag (SWT) will give you all you wanted in much better deal and plus his gifts.
English movies are mostly based on leading you toward devilish things and against right path, as you can see most movies will have sex speech and sex scenes, clubs, drugs, drinks, gays, brain washing media, worldly life ect.
What ever we watch our brain will keep it in the memory and shaitan will do his best to lead you to such way so you do the same. IF you program your brain and time with good things your brain will think of good deeds and will gain more for here after.
It is unlawful to look at the opposite sex with lust, whether they are properly clothed (including wearing hijab) or not. If, for example, a man sees a woman, or the image of a woman, and felt attracted to her, he would have to look away. The same applies to a woman, and there is no difference of opinion about this. [Nawawi, Minhaj Al-Talibin]
There are also online parent-friendly reviews of shows, movies, and books that may help. Some of them are detailed and describe even the slightest sexual innuendos. It would also be wise to keep television viewing to an absolute minimum. One scholar in the West was asked about what kind of television he watches when there is a need with his family, and he replied that he only watches nature documentaries. He chose something where sinful images would be infrequent, and the benefit is excellent.
Shaykh Irshaad Sedick was raised in South Africa in a traditional Muslim family. He graduated from Dar al-Ulum al-Arabiyyah al-Islamiyyah in Strand, Western Cape, under the guidance of the late world-renowned scholar, Shaykh Taha Karaan.
My favourite hobby is reading foreign love stories which sometimes describe love scenes between the hero and heroine in detail. Please note that I pray and wear hijab and I fear Allaah a great deal and I have never had any relationship with a boy before. But I am a romantic girl and I like to listen to music and watch romantic movies, but these stories bother me.
Reading love stories results in many evils, especially if the reader is young. These evils include: provocation of desire, and stirring up of bad thoughts and fantasies, attachment to the hero or heroine of the story, and wasting time in something that brings no spiritual or worldly benefit, rather in most cases it cases harm. Islam came to close the door that leads to anything haraam; it enjoins lowering the gaze and forbids being alone with a member of the opposite sex or speaking in a soft tone, and other things that may provoke desire or lead to immoral actions. Undoubtedly reading these stories is the exact opposite of that, because they promote the wish to get to know men and form relationships with them, and fall in love with them, in addition to showing immoral images of love and meetings etc. Undoubtedly all of that is haraam.
