Answer:
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Q-1: i
wanted to ask you that is it a sin , a man watches men nude, but doesn`t
touches him or doesn`t do any homosexuality act.....is it forbiidden?
The ‘satr’ or body parts that must remain covered in public for the believing
man is from his navel to his knees inclusive.
It is absolutely forbidden and indeed considered a sin in Islam if one
does not cover ones ‘satr’, except in front of one’s spouse. It would be absolutely forbidden for a
believing man, who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, to watch nude men!
Q-2:
is it necessary for a mmuslim to cut his pubic hairs and if it is, then what
lenght they can grow , what length is the deadline of it.
It is highly recommended that one pluck,
cut, or shave his unwanted hair
from the armpits and the pubic area.
Removal of unwanted hair is a natural ‘fitrah’ and Sunnah; and it is recorded that the Messenger of
Allah (saws) and his noble companions removed their unwanted hair regularly.
There is
no specific number of days specified by the Messenger of Allah (saws) for the
removal of unwanted hair, but some of
the companions have said that they used to remove their unwanted hair in a
maximum period of every 40 days.
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said:
"Five things are part of one's ‘fitra’ (nature): Shaving the pubic hairs,
circumcision, trimming the moustache, removing the hair under the arms, and
trimming the nails."
Related by Bukhari and Muslim.
Said Hadrat Anas ibn Malik (r.a.), the servant who served the
Prophet (saws) for ten years: "The time period for us to trim the
moustache, cut the nails, pluck out the underarm hairs, and cut the pubic hairs
was forty nights."
Related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
