Ramadan: Is it wrong for married couples to hug in public?
My husband said it was Haram for married couples to hug in public even if everyone around them knew they were married.
I don’t think it’s haram. That is what he said.

i believe its more of a modesty issue than it is a haram/halal thing
cuz really if you think about it, i mean dont get me wrong, im all for hugs, i like hugs, but its intimate, and when ur hugging, like for example in front of a masjid or another muslim environment, than people regardless if they know ur married or not, would be like thats kkindy showy…
but ya know…
omg r u serious
you should walk 3 paces behind your husband when outside….don’t you know.
its not haraam
but it depends on what the people think
in my country, village, whatever you want to call it, back in Palestine, if a man hugged his wife in public, people would walk and say "what a shame!" and then they shake their heads in disapproval. lol
by the way, they are all old schooled
In islam/islamic culture public display affection (PDA) is kept in private. So that means no holding hands, kissing, and hugging, but im not sure if it’s haram.
Take a look at this question:

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at Sina!
Yeah, cuz then some other perverts are gonna get an erektion
salaam dear sis.
i must agree with what your husband said.
reason: in a similar but different situation for example: we are dicoureged to cook strong smelling food at home when our neighbours are poor.why?just so that we don’t ever make the mistake of making them feel how poor they are or that they don’t have food while our family’s having a great yummy meal.
for the same reason, we should not go about displaying in public in any way that we have something (example food, fancy clothes, companion, etc) it’s not wrong to just walk together, of course that’s natural. but hugging in public may make some people feel lonely and deprived of this great blessing that you have, but they may not. not everyone is happily married, or married for that matter, and not everyone has a companion to hug.
In Islam, we are to make sure we never ever hurt another person. MashaAllah how beautiful our religion is.
you aren’t supposed to do anything like that in public.
Nope. It’s not even wrong for UNmarried couples to hug, or friends, or complete strangers. It’s normal…for humans.
All religions would have this "suggestion" as the highest standard during the religion’s sacred day, representing that particular philosophy. Take Christmas, hugs galore, but on Easter, always use restraint when in public has been the standard. Christmas is a celebration, but Easter represents the most basic religious tenant of Christianity.
i don’t know about "haram", but highly encouraged as the affection you show between each other should be a private affair
public shows of affection shouldn’t go past holding hands…or a very quick hug, in my *Opinion*
but affection should always stay private…you aren’t doing it for anyone but yourselves and it should be kept that way
don’t forget, Islam is the religion known best for it’s peace and *Modesty*, so be modest in your displays!
Allah(swt) knows best
No
Just because the two of you are legally married according to syariah doesn’t mean you can do whatever you please in the public’s eyes, like kissing and fodling and patting etc.
These things only gives ideas to impressionable youths and children.
Check out the figh books of ahlus sunnah wal jamaah that’s the best answer.
I have seen many Muslims hug each other in public when they greet one another. My husband puts his arm around me when we walk in the market or the mall. There is nothing haram in showing affection in public.
yep because non-married will be discouraged
lol
no i dont think so
Noo. As long as you’re not like full-blown making out in public (which is sooo yucky!).
I guess it would depend on personal preference.
Personally, I don’t like Public DA. I like Private Display of Affection.
It is human instinct. You only live once so FFS live your life!
Wafah - how about giving your poor neighbours some food too if you care so much!
wafah, so if i go for a job interview, and get the job instead of another person who desperately needs it, would that not make the other person feel bad…so should i not go for the job and let my own family starve.
if my son takes part in a soccer match, and scores the winning goal in a final, at the last minute, would that not make the other 11 players feel bad, so should he refrain from scoring…because it might make them feel bad.
we should all be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor. if i earn good money, and want to eat an expensive meal, why not? becus the neighbor might feel bad? perhaps they should have worked harder at school so they could have a better job. life is all about competition, a struggle between the strong and the weak. perhaps by flouting wealth, it will encourage some ppl to aim higher, to want better, etc.
that’s what some would say? what would you say to this?
