DVDS “WORSE THAN PORK AND WINE”
“I’d just fixed myself a plate of ribs, poured a hefty glass of shiraz and slotted a Clint Eastwood movie into the DVD player when I saw this,” writes Stephen W. “I’m disgusted with myself.”
The dvds are like any other Haraam item, wine, pork, etc. If any one had wine or pork and then realized it to be Haraam, what is expected to be done? It is not permissible to give the wine or pork to anyone. It must be disposed off.
Dvd movies are worse off than pork and wine. Dvd movies destroy one’s Islamic values and morals. It is not confined to the physical harms like wine and pork. If you could dispose of the monies from the sales of the dvds by giving Zakaat from its proceeds or giving the dvds as presents, then you can also dispose of the dvds by destroying them. You will be rewarded for this courage and Allah will grant you barakah. I urge the viewers to also take a bold step like yourself to destroy evils and Shaytaani elements from one’s home.
Wise words indeed from Italian airline enthusiast (“Alitalia knows best!”) Mufti Ebrahim Desai.
HARAAM UPDATE. Douglas Wood’s captors produced DVDs of his ordeal.
