Question for Muslims: is kissing, hugging, and cuddling before marriage considered sinful in Islam?

I'm a Muslim and I'm aware that sex before marriage is a sin and so is masturbation. What I keep on wondering is if physical affection is sinful too. Is dating even allowed in Islam? I can't imagine myself being in a relationship with a guy without kissing him or hugging him, more so, I can't imagine myself marrying someone who I've never dated or kissed, hugged, and cuddled. Excuse, my ignorance. Throughout my life I haven't been taught enough about the Islamic religion. What's your opinion on this?

  • Is it weird that I actually kind get this? I'm not Muslim and I'm not really convinced there's a God, but I think this is one thing the Muslims got right.

    It makes sense if you think about it, what should your spouse be before they're your spouse? Your best friend. You don't need to be sexual or any kind of intimate just to know someone and become freinds.

    Eventually once you make a decision to be more than just freinds, you should already know that that person has your back no matter what. That person will know everything about you except what it'd be like to fuck you. And that's what you save to make the commitment special and exclusive.

    So yeah that's what I think about it.

  • People think that just because they were born with religious parents that makes them have the same religion or any religion at all. You're not born with religion. There's no such thing as a Muslim, Christian, etc baby. If you honestly want to be a Muslim, this isn't the place to learn about being one.

    • Wise...

  • yes, it is sinful... that's why we have to get marry, so that all of the thing that you do with your husband is a bless and easy things to go to heaven

    • and you can dating- to get to know each other, but with the presence of your family/mahram - siblings, parents. of course.. to avoid those touchy things

  • the thing you need to understand is in order to marry the couples do not need to kiss, hug or cuddle with each other. They have to talk in a very mature way of how they want marriage what their ideas and opinions are in marriage. Most of these ideas fall under Islam and Islam is against all the intimacy before marriage because the couples aren't helal for each other.

    • If you go kiss, hug or cuddle with a guy you love and commit zina you will not be stoned in this era. The worst that can happen is all that intimacy will eventually someday lead to sex before marriage which is one of the biggest sins. Allah knows his creation he doesn't tell us not to commit zina, he tells us not to be even get close to zina. Everything you do has consequences in this world or worse in the other world. Just imagine going one step further and having a child... what do you think is gonna make that men want to commit himself towards you having a child before marriage. Do you know how many teenagers give birth or go through abortion just because they're in a relationship with intimacy. You see men who see a girl that is very easy to gain will not commit themselves to them seriously, they will be serious if the girl is serious and she knows how to protect herself against men. And trust me most of the woman will think serious with a men that shows her respect. Thank you.

    • You are welcome :) Still, I can't help it. I would still attempt doing it if the opportunity came. Other than that, I know my limits and I have self control. There is no way I'm having sex before marriage. Kissing someone doesn't automatically make me a bad Muslim. It's nothing compared to sex, which I'm definitely** not planning to have before marriage. I have done some research and I found that according to Islam plucking your eyebrows is considered a sin, and fixing your teeth for aesthetic purposes is also considered a sin. I'm guilty of both. To me I see no harm those things. I came to the conclusion that, what matters the most is that I pray 5 times a day, I fast, I give charity, I believe in God, and most importantly I'm a good person on the inside. I don't see how it's even a big deal if I dress modestly, I don't masturbate, I follow the 5 pillars, and I'm a good person overall.

    • Lol I don't think fixing your teeth for aesthetic look isn't a sin. Actually I'm pretty sure its not, don't know about plucking the eyebrows though. I mean a girl sould try to look good for her husband Islam isn't against that. But its the question whom are you doing this to. I would suggested for you to keep control of yourself I mean what are you going to do if you come across a guy that doesn't want you to kiss him or hug him before arrangement. I think you are right about your conclusion but if you know what iman is you should know that it should be kept secret. Only you should know how strong you believe in Allah and how good of a person you are :) just to be clear the things you have no problem with doing before marriage is a sin and is a path to zina. Just becareful of not to fall in that trap
