Assalamu Alaykum. I was just wondering about this. What if someone wounded themselves and there was no other person to help this person except you and this person was a male (im a female) If i tried to help this person would that be ok?I thought it might be ok since you have a good intention but i just want to double-check!Jazakhallah Khair :)

Wa'alaikumsalam

One deeds that I often enough do for other people in helping them cross the street. I've ever helped young women, I've ever helped old women. When I help young woman I just walk beside her, when I helped old woman I always gave my hand, so she could grab it.

Is it haram to touch or be touched by non-mahram?. If necessary, it's permissible. Young woman is still strong to walk without help, so I just walk beside her when I help her cross the street. But old woman is not as strong as young woman, and often need help in walking. This is why I give my hand to her. I let myself be touched by her because it's necessary.

Just imagine if a man almost drowned in the river, and you are the only person who was there. Should you help him which it's mean you must touch him?. Or you must let him drowned because touching non-mahram is haram?.

Someone asked Shaykh Zahir Mahmood this very question.

I have deleted the persons post so you will not be able to ascertain who it is.
The question was "should a person touch a Non Mahram to save her."
The issue of concern is the lack of basic Islamic knowledge, every Muslim should know the answer to this. Next time you see a non Mahram dying on the street are you going to ring the local Mufti for a fatwa before you help her/he.
The answer it not only permissible it is an obligation.
May Allah guide us all to the straight path.
I hope that helps inshaAllah.

Oh yeah and in an emergency situation, men and women can assist each other. Women used to treat wounded men on the battlefield at the time of the Prophet (SAW).

Before i asked this question, i read something saying if something is haraam it is haraam even if you did it with a good intention and this question wondered into my mind.I feel embarrassed that I did not ponder over this question as the answer is really obvious :embarrass Jazkhallah khair :statisfie:statisfie:statisfie
