    Re: Why is this bad?

    I think it's a general thing. Crossing of the arms could come of as a negative body gesture.

    maybe i think....lol

    I've never heard that crossing your arms is a bad thing, perhaps it's just something cultural?

    well, people say that folding your arms like that when talking to someone creates a barrier between you and the other person- like being too defensive or whatever. And everyone says that not just muslims lol

    Re: Why is this bad?

    When I was a kid they used to tell me never to cross my eyes or else the shaytan would "slap me" and they would stay that way forever.

    Yeah, needless to say, I never listened.

    Re: Why is this bad?

    If ALlah & Rasululah (saw) didn't make it Haram, it's Halal.

    simple.

    Nowadays lots of people come up wit odd things to say. Just to Haramafy everything.

    Wat's next? Don't stand on one leg. lol

    Re: Why is this bad?

    ^ LOL it could be a culture thing?

    like they might think a lack of adhaab to cross your arms coz it might say symbolise something to them, for example sticking your thumbs up for englishman means "WAY TO GO", sticking your thumbs up for bengali's means some sort of insult lol, its true!



    but according to islam i dont htink its disliked, infact... i do it almost everytime im standing around doing nothing in a public place

    One of those things that were taken far too seriously and ended up being called Haram, I guess. Lack of knowledge, probably.

    I know that its said that resting your hands on your hips is not right because shaytaan stands like that. Never heard about crossing your arms, tho.
