Question
I have about 5 years left to complete my prison sentence here in the U.S.A. My parents and children have requested me several times to visit me, but I have refused. The reason for my refusal is that after the visit, the prison requires us to completely strip naked in front of a guard. We are then ordered to turn around, squat and cough. Am I justified in not allowing my parents and children to visit me for the next five years?
Answer
Due to the barbaric and immoral conditions which the prison subjects prisoners who are visited, it is haraam for your parents to visit you. You should never see your relatives whilst in jail if you have to be subjected to the immoral indignities inflicted on you by the prison barbarians. You are fully justified to refuse your parents and children permission to visit you.
