What kind of reasoning is this?!! No way it is halal to show women not wearing decent clothes.Islam is innocent from these words

[mohammadabdullah]

Right and wrongs are clear.
If you are wrong, you must accept it.

Even the children know that it's wrong.

[insan]

We have now reached the era of ridiculousness, in which womens obligatory haya is compared to car insurance... No way is this justifiable!

[ArabyGUC]

There is a massive difference between looking at a woman; and bringing women out for people to look at.
Bro is making an argument that there are women everywhere "generalized balwa" without hijab, and we always look at them in shops, streets.. etc. So, this means we bring non-hijabis to the show.
I always think: what if one of the ladies in there repented and decided to wear hijab? would you ask her to wait a bit till you finish filming? or will you reshoot the scenes and may be screen for a non hijabi to join the filming?
Plus, Sarah Hussein sounds like a muslim. She is the lady doing the MI5 role in "Burning Hands". The name sounds like a muslim. She wasn't wearing hijab!
Plus, if you want to make it look real, why didn't your niece (sister in the movie) take her niqab off when she entered ur apartment. This looks so weird bro. Our women don't keep their face covering with their families!!!

I liked your movie by the way, although it was a bit flat and sometimes too slow and boring, but I felt bad for you having to bear the sins of people. I feel bad about myself too!

[myname]

That was like a reading a research paper. The arguments were coherent backed up with references and examples, and counter-examples.
Finished off with a logical conclusions.

Impressive Allahuma barik, may Allah increase you in knowledge and wisdom

[AMDesignAndDev]

Half of the people probably won't understand the maslaha etc etc, but most can now get justifications to play music and to show uncovered women.

Argument at 12:36: "If we become pragmatic and we go into this industry and we can't tell a story about muslim people in britain removing 50% of the population, becomes an incomplete story in my opinion"

So we can't tell a story by blurring out the women? We necessarily have to show them in full?

So if in the future, we were to talk about the issue of prostitution, do we as muslims necessarily have to show nudity in there or inappropriately dressed women to convey the story?

If the answer is no, and its that we would not do that (even if we have to talk about the issue), and blur them, why doesn't the same apply for this case.

Also, why do we have to find some fatwas from 1-2 scholars to justify what we're doing? If there's one scholar allowing it, there may be 5 condemning it.
So when we choose 1 over the other, isn't that just worshiping our own desires? Like, I'm just going to just pick the one who's fatwa aligns with what "I" want to do.

Why can't we just try to abide by this hadith?
Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and he who falls into doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful as the shepherd who pastures near a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is His prohibitions. Verily, in the body is a piece of flesh which, if sound, the entire body is sound, and if corrupt, the entire body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.”

This series has benefitted my young children and lots of questions asked. Living in London and being a teacher myself I could relate to this completely and it will help them.

They would ask me 3 days before; When the next episode is coming?

This is 1 million times better than the content they watch. Even though they have strict guidelines to use social media.

[MissionIslam]

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The hearts of the children of Adam are as one between the fingers of the Most Merciful, and He directs them as He wills."
(Sahih Muslim, Book 33, Hadith 6418)

Brother Hijab went from debating on Speakers Corner to acting. Very sad. May Allah guide us.

[Goldboy_goy]

Muslims need to worry more about the preservation of Muslim life around the world and disunity that has poisoned the ummah which has been so effortlessly taken advantage of by the enemies of Islam. Muslims with their futile concerns like seeing the hair of a woman, holding the hands on the chest whilst praying or pulling the pants above the ankle has given the pathway for enemies to convince the world that Muslim life is dispensable. Disunity is the cancer that Islam suffers from everyone has their own interpretation and wants to make their version true. Qur'an and Sunnah is the only way. Please unite that is the direct order from Allah "hold on to the rope of Allah and let not be divided" we are disobeying Allah..

[gogadgetgo]

Wisdom comes with age. Well done Hijab.

[FidanHasanzadeStudent]

The reality is that the sunnah way of doing dawah is way more affective and lead more people to accepting islam than any tv show ever has, just look at the number of shahadah when the da’ee sticks to the sunnah. Why would anyone choose something that is not effective over that which is way more effective?

[MGold]

This is one of the most interesting Series I have watch as a non Muslim. Its interesting to see the world thought someone who is Muslim.
It can be Haram as most Muslims say but It was education for me

[Schrodinger-pkws]

Women showing their awrah, swearing, using beatboxing to the point it sounds exactly like music etc are haram. End doesn't justify the means in Islam. If you're going to do haram, that's on you but you shouldn't justify it, ever. E.g. many of these Muslims in the comments have watched haram tv shows and movies. Are they now going to say oh yeah it's halal if I pick a fatwa from here and there. No. They know it's haram and won't justify their sins.

[Stcp-stcp]

I have heard a shaikh who was asked about imitating music with mouth sounds (acapella), and he said something that really stuck with me, he said it's like the children of israel on "saturday" (sabbath breakers) when they were told not to fish, it's basically trying to manipulate the commands and laws of Allah. If Allah has made music haram for us to listen to, it's because of the whole effect it has, not just the instruments!.

Don't let the shaytan (satan) fool you, and don't be like the sabbath breakers!.

[SupermanOG]

Funny how people with infinitely less knowledge than him are passing categorical judgements in the comments.

[USNAVY-]

CONGRATS HABIBI EVEN IF ONLY ONE HUMAN BEING IS DRAWN TO ISLAM FROM YOUR EFFORTS MAY YOU BE FULLY

[yahyahali]

It’s so sad to see that when it comes to our own, we find the most minutest things to throw someone under the bus with especially with someone like brother hijab, but when it comes to the non Muslims a lot of Muslims subconsciously worship them.

Support and love your fellow Muslims. We’re dehumanised in many parts of the world we have enough enemies we don’t need no more.

[farahfarah]

I know of many families, that watch all sorts of movies with their childern. Disney movies which incorporate elements of moral, sexual ambiguity, Godlessness and ect. For older kids, superhero movies that feature costumes and themes of sexualized nature. In contrast, this show offers a more realistic portrayal, addressing relevant and meaningful issues currently faced in the real world, and provides a straightforward and wholesome viewing experience for all ages.

[AalaFarooqui]

Totally agree with Brother Hijab. He clarified it well. Media is a great tool to do Dawah. Now my all questions are answered. May Allah bless him & grant him success in this life & Hereafter.

كانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الخَيْرِ، وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي، فَقُلتُ: يا رَسولَ اللهِ، إنَّا كُنَّا في جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَشَرٍّ، فَجَاءَنَا اللَّهُ بهذا الخَيْرِ، فَهلْ بَعْدَ هذا الخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقُلتُ: هلْ بَعْدَ ذلكَ الشَّرِّ مِن خَيْرٍ؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ، وَفِيهِ دَخَنٌ، قُلتُ: وَما دَخَنُهُ؟ قالَ: قَوْمٌ يَسْتَنُّونَ بغيرِ سُنَّتِي، وَيَهْدُونَ بغيرِ هَدْيِي، تَعْرِفُ منهمْ وَتُنْكِرُ، فَقُلتُ: هلْ بَعْدَ ذلكَ الخَيْرِ مِن شَرٍّ؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ، دُعَاةٌ علَى أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ مَن أَجَابَهُمْ إلَيْهَا قَذَفُوهُ فِيهَا، فَقُلتُ: يا رَسولَ اللهِ، صِفْهُمْ لَنَا، قالَ: نَعَمْ، قَوْمٌ مِن جِلْدَتِنَا، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بأَلْسِنَتِنَا، قُلتُ: يا رَسولَ اللهِ، فَما تَرَى إنْ أَدْرَكَنِي ؟ قالَ: تَلْزَمُ جَمَاعَةَ المُسْلِمِينَ وإمَامَهُمْ، فَقُلتُ: فإنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لهمْ جَمَاعَةٌ وَلَا إمَامٌ؟ قالَ: فَاعْتَزِلْ تِلكَ الفِرَقَ كُلَّهَا، ولو أَنْ تَعَضَّ علَى أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ حتَّى يُدْرِكَكَ المَوْتُ وَأَنْتَ علَى ذلكَ.
