DEVIANT BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

 


Question:

Women, more so then men, read deviant magazines, what is the Islamic ruling regarding this?


Answer:

It is forbidden upon every male and female to read publications that call to innovation, to disbelief, to deviancy, and to evil morals. The only exception here is the person who reads this kind of material so that he may refute those who write it, advising them to return to the truth, warning them against persisting in their falsehood.
