…Of course I was joking please develop a sense of humour…Although if you do run an event please BCC anyway. Whilst you are free to express your view one should remember that we should make excuses for our brothers and sisters rather than judge. Whilst in the eyes of the law we are all equal, people are definitely not equal in there weakness. In order to not be misinterpreted I will explain briefly. As humans we have varying levels of desire and shaytaan works on our weaknesses. It is certainly not for you to judge what should or should not be fitna for an individual. Whether your fitna is food, interactions with none mahram or something else, that is your personal Jihad against the Nafs. I was simply trying to state perhaps in my dry (witty only to myself) way that we should maintain modesty even if our interaction is through an electronic medium. Perhaps I did not express that simply enough for all to comprehend.

If you consider this to not be an issue then clearly you are a CCer… In my opinion CCers should be put into stocks and have wet sponges thrown at them. I hope that humour was obvious enough to pass the test.

May Allah keep us all on the straight path. May Allah reward you with the glad tidings of Jannah for your defense of our sisters…Ameen (This part serious).

I wasnt sure if the brother in question was joking or being serious in his plea to BCC sisters email becuase he belives people will be tempted by female names/email addresses? If it is a serious email, then i do fele sorry for this brother that he feels this way, and it si his every right toe xpress his views. But i find it disturnign that as muslims, who are meant to be on the apth to God, something as minor as this cna distract us? How do we operate at work, in life, in social situatiosn if our barometer si so weak? Women are not creatures that are there to tempt you or please you, they are real human beings, your equal.

Asalaamualaikum,

To BCC or Not to BCC? That is the Question!

I empathise with your smelly plight, I cannot understand people who wash their feet for Wudhu only to put on smelly old socks! SubhanAllah!

Anyway my point is to BCC or not to BCC… When sending out emails to Islamic events or for information, I urge brothers and sisters to BCC. If you do not know how to do this then please ask someone. As a normal guy with the same raging hormones as everyone else I do not want to be invited to fitna by being presented a list of sisters email addresses. Now I’m sure that everyone is a better person than myself in this case. We should not give the potential to arouse interest where it need not be. Why invite me to a segregated event if you are presenting me contact details of all the sisters who are attending anyway. So Brothers and Sisters if you are in a team of muslim staff or sending out event information BCC.

Although any sisters that have my email address are welcome to contact me, I’m 5′11 with brow…. Just kidding but you get the point… I hope! Please spread this post far and wide and remember if you send it by email BCC: Okay take care for now. Wa Salaam…. My next post will be about Salamz and AA’s Grrr its Asalaamualaikum…

I don’t know if it was a fungus or what, but I had a friend whose feet stank horribly even after taking a shower. One day he said jokingingly, “Smell my feet,” and I almost gagged.

those hadith should be applied to the one who reads them and should never be used to mock others. Maybe someone was working all day to make a living and didn’t get the chance to take off his shoes, which were ofcourse cheap quality with no ventilation because he couldn’t afford clarks, or someone ate bad quality food only because of the time and location he was in prior to prayer.

if Allah puts you between two stinky people in prayer you should make tawbah rather than coming online and complaining to creation
