Greetings,
Sorry for the late reply.
If I'm not mistaken under Islamic laws girls and boys can't be friends right? So then what about these forums? Isn't it haraam to talk in threads where other girls are posting?
The purpose behind these forums are not to make friends with the opposite gender or to chat with them, but rather they are to spread the message of Islam and help people to understand it correctly.
You can see from our
FAQ:
The mission of our e-Islamic community is to help foster a better understanding of Islam. To facilitate this, we have laid a set of guidelines that all members are required to read and adhere to.
And if we look at the rules:
8. Honourable and dignified behaviour must be observed at all times, especially when replying to a post
by a member of the opposite gender.
As staff on this forum, we try to prevent any freeposting and freemixing between members of the opposite gender, and we have provided segregated rooms for them to speak privately amongst themselves. I think most often people address the issue being discussed rather than a specific person, and when they speak to a person of the opposite gender, it should be if necessary and in a serious tone.
