Question
I had a question regarding necking. Is it considered haram? I am 19 years old and recently got into a relationship with another Muslim. We are both university students and we both made it clear that our ultimate goal will be marriage. We have not engaged in any sexual acts and we both respect that we will wait till marriage as it is haram to do so before. We are both practicing but moderate Muslims. What is the fatwa when it comes to us kissing with no intentions of lust and if we know and set limits (nothing more than kissing)
Answer
One of the essential ingredients of taqwa (to be guarded and conscious about things that the Almighty does not like) is to be cautious. In the Qur’an we are advised not only to avoid evil acts but to avoid even getting close to evil acts (Qur’an, 6:151).
