I\u2019m always scared that I\u2019ll do something which will cause it to take place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Anytime I shake hands with men in my family I get this butterfly-like feeling in my private parts (I am not attracted to them whatsoever) I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s because of fear or anxiety that Hurmatul Musahara will take place or something else. I don\u2019t know what exactly lust feels like so I\u2019m really confused regarding this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please help me with this. I don\u2019t know what to do. Also if someone touches a picture through their phone with lust, will that also cause hurmarul musahara?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><b>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><b>Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A general principle in the Hanafi madhab is that lustful touching establishes the prohibition of marriage (i.e. the man is forbidden to marry the woman&#8217;s female descendants and ascendants, and the woman is forbidden to marry the man&#8217;s male descendants and ascendants).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, although the mother herself is considered Haram for the son, nevertheless the arousal towards her (even if one-sided) accompanied with desire\/lust is the very factor which establishes the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurmatul Musaharah.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If \u2018shahwah\u2019 i.e. desire, accompanied by erection had already been present and does not increase upon touching, or did not occur after touching, and did not increase due to touching then the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurmatul Musaharah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not confirmed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Islam has placed many safe boundaries within the family structure for safeguarding relationships. Engaging in unlawful sexual relationships is a major sin. However, this major sin is further increased when such acts are committed with one\u2019s mother\/father, sister\/brother or daughter\/son because it severs the ties of kinship. Furthermore, it is a direct violation of the rights of those with whom one is enjoined to uphold the ties of kinship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a mature (baligh) male or female touches the opposite gender with desire\/lust, separated by a thin barrier between them whereby the body warmth is felt, then <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurmatul Musaharah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is said to be established. The presence of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shahwah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is given precedence. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, technically no <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurmatul Musaharah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0can take place if someone touches a picture through their phone with lust. However, entertaining this thought and touching a picture with lust must be avoided as engaging in these thoughts can lead to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurmatul Musaharah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra): The Prophet (\ufdfa) said, &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allah forgives my followers those (evil deeds) their souls may whisper or suggest to them as long as they do not act (on it) or speak.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Sahih Al-Bukhari: 6664]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">From this hadith, we can deduce that it is possible for deviant thoughts to enter our minds. However, with exerted effort, one can repel those thoughts and this is a form of a trial. In Islam, it is considered normal to have good and bad thoughts flow in and out of your mind. What incurs sin is if you act upon the bad or evil thoughts outwardly, causing yourself and others harm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">If you don\u2019t act upon them and manage to repel the thoughts in your head, then there is no sin. This form of jihad is something we deal with on a day-to-day basis. To have these recurring thoughts involuntarily and to fight the temptation and ward off the thoughts is a rewardable act and is considered a jihad of the Nafs (Battle of the Self). If these thoughts continue then you may consider marriage to satisfy these instinctive needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0(\u0648\u0623\u0635\u0644 \u0645\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0647 \u0648\u0646\u0627\u0638\u0631\u0629 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0630\u0643\u0631\u0647 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0646\u0638\u0648\u0631 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0641\u0631\u062c\u0647\u0627) \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0648\u0631 (\u0627\u0644\u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644) \u0648\u0644\u0648 \u0646\u0638\u0631\u0647 \u0645\u0646 \u0632\u062c\u0627\u062c \u0623\u0648 \u0645\u0627\u0621 \u0647\u064a \u0641\u064a\u0647 (\u0648\u0641\u0631\u0648\u0639\u0647\u0646) \u0645\u0637\u0644\u0642\u0627 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0628\u0631\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0634\u0647\u0648\u0629 \u0639\u0646\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0638\u0631 \u0644\u0627 \u0628\u0639\u062f\u0647\u0645\u0627 \u0648\u062d\u062f\u0647\u0627 \u0641\u064a\u0647\u0645\u0627 \u062a\u062d\u0631\u0643 \u0622\u0644\u062a\u0647 \u0623\u0648 \u0632\u064a\u0627\u062f\u062a\u0647 \u0628\u0647 \u064a\u0641\u062a\u0649 \u0648\u0641\u064a \u0627\u0645\u0631\u0623\u0629 \u0648\u0646\u062d\u0648 \u0634\u064a\u062e \u0643\u0628\u064a\u0631 \u062a\u062d\u0631\u0643 \u0642\u0628\u0644\u0647 \u0623\u0648 \u0632\u064a\u0627\u062f\u062a\u0647 \u0648\u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631\u0629: \u0644\u0627 \u064a\u0634\u062a\u0631\u0637 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0638\u0631 \u0644\u0641\u0631\u062c \u062a\u062d\u0631\u064a\u0643 \u0622\u0644\u062a\u0647 \u0628\u0647 \u064a\u0641\u062a\u0649 \u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0644\u0645 \u064a\u0646\u0632\u0644 \u0641\u0644\u0648 \u0623\u0646\u0632\u0644 \u0645\u0639 \u0645\u0633 \u0623\u0648 \u0646\u0638\u0631 \u0641\u0644\u0627 \u062d\u0631\u0645\u0629 \u0628\u0647 \u064a\u0641\u062a\u064a\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;
