Quick Question/Verification

Hello again!

Just quickly, I saw a comment online from someone claiming to be Muslim. They said that a simple touch between a man and woman is enough that they should or must marry.

I could not find any support for this statement online, and it seems unlikely to me since touching by accident can be so easy.

Am I right in assuming that this person was not telling the truth about Islam?

There is nothing in Islam that supports that. Marriage has to be based on love, not on mere accidental touching.

Thanks Eselam!
I unthinkingly touched a Muslim man's hand the other day to get his attention so after seeing that comment online I needed the verification. Lol.

If you had said this in the OP I would probably have said that you have to marry him now. Good thing that you didn't. :p

Hahah!
Oh well, I might not be too sad if you had said that. He is a completely awesome person and I'm all for interfaith marriage :sad4: ...;)

Nah, just joking around. I wouldn't lie like that, especially not for a matter like that.

As a Muslim, this is embarrassing.

Unfortunately I have heard worse things as well. Some twisted "scholars" feel rape victims have to get married also a rape victims who comes out gets punished as an act of adultery. Kind of explains the motives when these "scholars" get caught with students.

Rest assured those are some sick twisted minds.

:yes:

I think it's weird that people make up ideas about their religion that do not have scriptural basis. I see it a lot in Hinduism too and it also seems to happen in most, if not all, religions. People are strange :cover:
