Stephen Hawking may be confined to a wheelchair, but that doesn't seem to keep him from making the rounds. The celebrated astrophysicist is a regular at a sex club in California, according to media reports.
The 70-year-old, almost completely paralyzed by a neurological disorder known as motor neurone disease, frequents a San Bernadino "swinger's club" called Freedom Acres, a long-time member of the club told Radar Online.
"I have seen Stephen Hawking at the club more than a handful of times," the member told the celebrity site. "He arrives with an entourage of nurses and assistants. Last time I saw him, he was in the back 'play area' lying on a bed fully clothed with two naked women gyrating all over him."
Does Hawking really like lap dances? Not so fast, a University of Cambridge press officer told the Cambridge News.
"Lurid statements appeared on a website in America, but they are not true," Tim Holt told the paper. "This report is greatly exaggerated. He visited once a few years ago with friends while on a visit to California."
Twice divorced and the father of three, Hawking is director of research at the university's Center for Theoretical Cosmology and a well-known expert on black holes and the Big Bang. He earned worldwide fame with his 1988 best-seller "A Brief History of Time," though he made another big media bang last January when he called women "a complete mystery."
The center is "devoted to the development and testing of fundamental theories of the universe," according to its website.

And Freedom Acres? Its website calls it "one of the most dynamic and largest on premise Swinger club in the Los Angeles and Orange County with an active member list of couples and single ladies."

lol, it had to come to this. So, women are a complete mystery for this "gentleman," who has made the mighty discovery that God is not necessary, and yet is unable to describe women by math equations. Very genius.

You'd expect a man like him, who has gone to live an archetypal miraculous life, to show some humility and some shame.

 

[Ramadhan]

Actually he is being very consistent.
He does not believe in after life, so why shouldn't he "eat, drink, be merry" and have as much fun as he could possibly have (motor neurone disease and all)?

Ah, dude, that's typical of male nerds everywhere. Geniuses at math/science/history, but women are a complete mystery to us. ;D

Assalamu-alaikum,



Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful” [al-Hujuraat 49:12]

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Do you know what gheebah (backbiting) is?” They said, “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Saying something about your brother that he dislikes.” It was said, “What if what I say about my brother is true?” He said, “If what you say is true then you have backbitten about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him.”
Narrated by Muslim, 2589



Please be mindful of what we say......and write, insha Allah.

Let him has his fun. Believe me, he dont get any satisfaction or happiness from this as we believe in Islam. There will be a day when he will die and meet Allah. Let him do his things.:sunny:

Hawking is no brother of mine, in fact he has declared that he doesn't believe in God.

 

[جوري]

We're not creating lies against someone whose reputation precedes him and is public news!
furthermore one of his alleged great quotes and mission in life is how to prove God 'unnessary' -- that's your brother? That's who exactly we should warn people of by bringing all those deeds, words and actions front and center!
I am no sister to a perverse kaffir!

As it is sinful to backbite a Muslim, so too is it sinful to backbite a non- Muslim. However, if due to some reason a person has evil qualities or incorrect beliefs that would cause harm to others, then to forewarn people to protect them from such evil and wrong belief will not be considered as backbiting.

and,

Your Question: is it halal to backbite on a non muslim. i know its wrong to slander. but can you back bite?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 49 Surah Hujuraat verse 12: 12O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion, for suspicion in some cases is a sin: and spy not on each other nor speak ill of each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay ye would abhor it...but fear Allah: for Allah is Oft-Returning Most Merciful.

Speaking ill behind another's back or back-biting is an evil deed and a sin in the Sight of Allah Subhanah, regardless of whether one back-bites a believer or a disbeliever! Allah Subhanah commands the believers to hate, abhor, and despise the evil sin of back-biting another behind his back as one would hate to eat the flesh of his own dead brother!!!

Such is the gravity and enormity of this 'minor' sin of back-biting in the Sight of The Majestic and Supreme Lord.Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.81 Narrated by Ibn AbbasOnce the Prophet (saws) went through the graveyards of Medina and heard the voices of two beings who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet (saws) said, "They are being punished, but they are not being punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great. One of them used not to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (back-biting)."


Back-biting is absolutely impermissible and a sin in the Sight of the Lord, whether done against a believer or a disbeliever. And just to clarify, back-biting is the speaking of a truth behind another's back which if said in front of the person he would not like it; if one lies behind another's back, then it would constitute a punishable crime in a Shariah Court of Law, ie. 'slander'!

If the information provided by this thread was of benefit to muslims or a means to warn us of an attack on our deen, etc - then this type of conversation could be justified.


Is this the way of an Islamic forum?
Gossiping about the sexual indiscretions of others?

^^ Thank you.

 

[Ramadan90]

Some people here need to understand that they have no right do backbite and judge people, that is up to Allah. Mind your own business.

 

[جوري]

We are stating the facts on the news not concocting them!
And his deeds and character are indeed of relevance as they often are when one mixes science with philosophy and presents his personal conviction as if an authority to lead the masses astray -- he doesn't seem ashamed of his actions why should we be ashamed for him? Google fatwas do nothing for me in that regard or generally!
You're welcome not to partake in this thread- I myself try to skip out on the cat and other social threads as I feel them of no relevance on an Islamic forum

Best,

I have my own mind to begin with. I do not ingratiating myself to any view without any support or evidence.

My statements does not contradict each other, whatever you like it or not.

What he does is not your business. Are you the one who will judge him when he dies? Are you his mother? No, then mind your own business and be concern about your own life.

That is all.

Have a great day!:sunny:

The humility this man is facing is from Allah. He isn't attempting to hide his sins. And backbiting is only backbiting if the person dislikes what is said about them. This man knows his actions are in the public eye and is maybe even proud of himself for it - hence it is not strictly backbiting. Nor he is our brother. But there is no point in believers trying to correct each other if it leads to hostility and arguments among ourselves, over a kaafir.


Whoever leaves argument, even though he is right, he is guaranteed a house in the middle of paradise. He will be saved from the bad effects of importunity and antagonism. He will maintain the serenity of his heart, and be safeguarded from exposing his defects.

I know this was not written directly to me, but I am not here to seek arguments, it is not my intention. The truth is that even if he is a what we would call a celebrity and his actions are in public eye, it is OUR responsibility as believers to NOT backbite people. Do you think he reads this islamic discussion board? Do you really believe that? If he does not, then it is backbiting because people are slandering him without him knowing it.

I really do not care if some people here are backbiting him or not, I am just fullfilling my responsibility as a muslim to warn you from backbiting. If you do not want to follow the prophet words, then it is your loss. Not mine.

Herewith I will end my part of this discussion.

 

[Dagless]

Am I the only one who doesn't find this particularly perverse? I think I've been living in the west too long :s
Plenty of people with different moral values partake in this sort of thing.

What a strange day so far... So I turn on the laptop. And for some reason, while i'm waiting for it to boot up, I get an image of Steven Hawkins ordering a *cough* service *cough*... I had a giggle to my self lol, then thought "naaaaa, not ole steven hawkins maaaaan, he'd never do that, right?"

Log onto IB and see this thread. (facepalm). Steven you dirty PERVERTED SICK MAN.

Strange when you think of a really random thing, and it presents itself minutes later in reality... I been having quite a few of these moments lately. Very weird.

Then we should close off and delete the whole of world affairs section as well as any other section or any other thread that dares to speak about a person even if it's public news?

Maybe we shouldn't also discuss what Baashir of Syria is doing these days because maybe he doesn't like that people are talking about him?
Do you think president baashir of syria reads this islamic discussion board? do you really believe that? f he does not, then it is backbiting because people are slandering him without him knowing it.

Of course that would be ridiculous.

By the way, I remember you started a thread about Michael Jackson. Maybe he didn't want to be talked about, even when he was already dead?

Okey, so now we are mocking and throwing shade at each other? LOL. Great.;D

With all due respect, I did not talk ill about Michael Jackson. You should look up the word backbiting brother before condemning me. I actually felt sorry for him for not converting to Islam and the fact that the music industry eat him alive. Second of all, I am not against discussing world issues( that is what world affair forum is for) but Evan Hawking is an atheist and what he does in his private life(is that a world issue? Do not think so.) is his business, not yours. We can as well make a celebrity forum gossiping in an Islamic forum and gossip about Steve Hawking, Will smith, beyonce. How DARE they do that and that?!:rollseyes
