I had some questions, regarding certain government acts, and I wanted to know
the answer from you and inshaAllah I know I would get satisfying ones.
Q-1: Here in
17).
i wonder whether is it permissible or not? what could be the out comes if this
system is applied, may be it could bring disastrous effects on our society, our
ethics and moreover on the psychology of our youth, also it could provide a
helping hand in implementing a so called modern western culture, whose family structure
is already vanished and many other ills that are behind the beautiful screen of
art and culture.
If we being muslims are supposed to protest against any educational system
which besides providing useful knowledge's also provides things that (may be)
is not acceptable. So based on this, I wanted to know.

Answer:
Sex education in
Schools
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 none 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
wonder whether is it permissible or not?
If by ‘sex-education’ one means the knowledge of how to
avoid illegal sexual intercourse, its evil consequences on oneself and the
society at large in this world, or its punishment in the Hereafter, etc., then
indeed such good caution and advice on ‘sex-education’ would not only be
permissible in Islam, but absolutely encouraged.
But beloved brother, if by ‘sex-education’ one takes on
the meaning which is propagated by the educated but ignorant, freedom loving,
ungodly and immoral society today…whereby the art of
how-best-to-indulge-in-immoral-illegal-sexual intercourse by practicing the
so-called methods of ‘safe-sex’, or how best to indulge in illegal sexual
intercourse and save oneself from pregnancy, or sexually transmitted diseases,
etc…….if this is what is meant by ‘sex-education’, then it would be akin to
teaching youngsters how best to indulge in the evils of stealing and cheating
and killing without getting caught or without coming in harm’s way!!!! Such education which instills the values in
our children of how to commit a crime and how best to get away with it, is
without an iota of a doubt, an evil education indeed!
Q-2: What
should be our way of protesting against these things?
Q-3: And
to what extent we are supposed to protest?
If indeed the ‘sex-education’ being proposed would teach
the children on how best to commit illegal sexual intercourse and get away with
it…..one should strive to protest against the teaching of such immorality
without stint, but within the parameters of the law.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
