Haram Haqiqatjou #6: Describing College Education as a Gateway to Becoming a “Well-Used Object”
Background
A George Washington University Muslim female student, Aiza Saeed, led an effort to make emergency birth control easily accessible on campus. Despite the Islamically questionable nature of this initiative, one would need to have a conversation with the individual to truly understand their motivation.
Haram Action
Vile language, describing a potential female Muslim college student as a “well-used object”, and insinuating kufr. This type of language is unbefitting of someone who has a platform amongst Muslims, encourages takfeer of Muslims who may engage in questionable acts, and exudes irresponsibility.
Evidence of Haram
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“O ‘Aaishah! Have you ever seen me speaking bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression.” (Bukhaari)
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever claims about a believer what is not true about him, Allah will lodge him in a putrid sinkhole of Hell until he recants his claim.”
