Dangers of facebook.

[Asiyah3]

Islam does not say anything about that. Ofcourse whipping any human is bad. Thats more a humanistic nature, rather than Islamic view. Islam is more related to spirituality and how to overcome sins.

As a Muslim, I would still keep the following Hadiths in mind. And hitting the face is always forbidden.:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah is Kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness or for anything else.” Narrated by Muslim (2593).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever is deprived of kindness is deprived of goodness.” Narrated by Muslim (2592).

If I remember, Umar (ra) lashed his son for drinking alcohol till his son died. What does that tell you

Umar's son (ra) was lashed as a punishment for his crime of drinking alcohol, not for discipline.

From my observation, most of those merciless people, who brutally beat their kids, beat them for worldly things. They smack their kids when they don't obey them like when the kids don't agree to sleep, misbehave (example break something) and cause trouble. Except for those whom Allah has mercy on, not for their deen.

Speak to her elder siblings; if they can block facebook via either parental controls or a hardware firewall, its a much better early step towards sorting out such a problem.

I think that facebook has completely redrawn the lines of Hayaa, as brother Nouman ali khan put it so well. Personally i left after the whole "Draw Prophet Muhammed :saw:" day. I didn't find much benefit in it except linking up with my old (non-muslim) classmates, but otherwise it was a waste of time and plenty of fitna on there... Even though i didn't accept friend requests from females.

Aren't there laws against people posting your pictures publicly without your permission? Or did I only dream that...

Yeah but no one ever calls the police over a facebook photo. The **** cops will hang up.

By the time any action is taken, the pictures would have been circulated over many channels over the web. Its best not to give or let non family have any possession of photos.

I'm not saying it's any excuse to let people take or have photos of you, I'm just saying if it's already happened is there a legal way to stop it?

Some pictures don't get circulated very quickly, especially if they're not particularly eye-catching or the page doesn't get very much traffic. So if it does get removed, then there is a good chance in some cases that there aren't any more.

Salaam/peace to all
just a side note - i didnt sign up for facebook until a short time ago ... and i've had no known problems on there, but there is something new w/ facebook where they do publish your phone numbers at times. I can't find mine so i may be safe, but i followed how someone said to see and more than half my facebook friends had their phone numbers listed... and you can get all sorts of info off your phone number, just something that anyone and especially w/ kids w/ facebook accounts may want to be wary of.

Contact the facebook administration; let them know exactly what the problem is, and leave the rest to them. In many circumstances they are legally required to assist you in any matter relating to privacy.
