Many Ulama argue that because of the benefits of television and similar devices, it is permissible to adopt these methods for propagating Islam.

Answer

These 'ulama' are morons and agents of Iblees, hence their warped and convoluted reasoning. Their reasoning is compatible with Satanism. Never be cast in a quandary by stupid arguments of this nature. The criterion is only the Shariah, not the method of any person nor the tareeqah of any Buzrug irrespective of any perceived benefits in such methods which are in conflict with the Shariah. Our obligation is to present the Deen in halaal ways, and to leave the end result to Allah Ta'ala.

A prostitute embraced Islam after her relationship with the Muslim fornicater. If this Muslim man had not contacted and paid her for zina, she would still have been a kaafirah. It does not follow from this episode that it will be permissible to fornicate with prostitutes with the intention of da'wat to convert them to Islam. In fact, we are aware of such a case. A non-Muslim female professor at a university, accepted Islam after fornicating with her Muslim student whom she married years later.

Since this lady who had accepted Islam at the hands of the man who had fornicated with her, was very very intelligent, she communicated with The Majlis, and on our advice severed her relationship with the Muslim man. Also, on our advice, she was transferred to another university. It is a long story. Nevertheless, she remains to this day a very pious lady whose conception of Islam was moulded by the ultraorthodox Majlis. This never means that it is permissible to indulge in zina even if one has 100% absolute certitude of the woman embracing Islam.

Shaitaan is an extremely clever teacher. He lays his trap in Deeni hues. The benefits or perceived benefits of haraam television NEVER halaalizes this snare of Iblees.

Our obligation is submission to the Shariah, and not to violate the Shariah on the basis of stupidities urinated into the brains by Shaitaan.

tomer for a sexual favour in lieu of some business information. Please comment.

A. What is so surprising in the request of the faasiq/faajir businessman? This is the norm in this rotten society. The woman herself is lewd having prostitute tendencies, hence the audacity of the faajir. If she was not a faasiqah / faajirah herself, she would not have found herself in the zina situation with the shaitaan. Norms of this kind are the logical consequences of rebellion against Allah Ta'ala. When Allah's Law of Hijaab is abandoned and even scorned and mocked, then it is illogical and stupid to express annoyance at shaitaani advances of the kind

mentioned in the question.
