Good day Everyone.
As we all know that civilization has the good and the bad sides, through the acquisition of western form of education; we engages in so many kind of relationship that is un-islamic : girl-friend/boy-friend, acquaintances, flings couples life relationship while in school etc. While doing all this interactions; we mixed with other religion,believe,and culture thereby having one impact or the other on our faith.
My question goes thus :
What's islam's
view about a Christian lady(not necessarily a gal-friend ) cooking for a
muslim brother during ramadan. pls back it up.
Thanks

2 Corinthians 6:14

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

I am not Muslim but I have a lot of friends who are and from interacting with them, a lot of them say there is nothing wrong with it. I don't know if there is a verse in the Holy Book that says contrary though.

My uncle is a Muslim and he has a Christian wife who has refused to convert and he is at peace with it. During the Ramadan fast, she prepares his meals, (the early morning one) and even the evening one. If she won't be around to prepare the evening's meal, she makes it and he just heats it up.

Sometimes when the woman fasts (perhaps a fast from her church), the man prepares there meal for the home and he and the kids even respect her enough not to eat while she is around as they try to keep the place solemn for her as she does for them.

Now back to the topic, does it mean if I have a family and my neighbor who is Muslim does not have food to eat and he is in Ramadan, I cannot wake up to surprise him with the early morning meal? I doubt Allah in his infinite mercies would get angry at that

Go back to read the story of the good samaritan before you come quoting that. Love is beyond all those laws you keep throwing around like an angry teenager with a 9mm

@the bolded this is husband and wife. I mean the gf/bf(friendship) sort of relationship?
Thanks...

Which was why I used the neighbor analogy. If as neighbors it won't be frowned on, why would it be frowned on by someone you intend to share your future with?

I will like you to humour me a bit and give me a proper interpretation of 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14

Obviously you may find nothing wrong marrying an atheist or a devil worshipper

Maybe you should go back and read the bolder part of the first post where the OP said (not necessary a girlfriend) which means she can be a close friend of neighbor

The bible is clear on the issue but she's asking for an Islamic perspective so mehh...

What's your stand on inter-religion marriage ?

Biblically, its wrong and an abomination in the sight of God...

Is it possible to agree in spirit with an atheist or a devil worshiper?

Why should a Christian lady get pregnant before marriage?
You are not a Christian because you are born into a Christian home or because you attend Church on sundays. Going to stadium doesn't make you a footballer. There are church-goers and not necessary Christians.

the islamic law does not approve of a bf or gf cooking or peparing meals for both parties no matter the circumstance during ramadan, any one who does so have actually invalidate his or her fast, except if such friendship is just a mutual one with no intimacy
note: its not accepted even if the friendship is mutual but the guy or the lady has an intimate affection towards eachother but has not yet revealed it. Allah allam

the crust of the matter is that bf, gf is a no no. thats the major point and the lest outside of this is easy to tackle. a person can be charitable therefore volunteer to or employed to do the cooking of meals, including suhur and iftar.

the intention if it devoid of illegal relationship, there is no problem. but you can't make good come out of bad process and expect it not to be tainted.

I am not sure if I got the question right. However from islamic point of view on this case, if both are married but are of interfaith, there is nothing wrong for christian woman to prepare her husband food in as much the food is halal (lawful).
proof of this is located in Quran in sura Maida (chapter 5:5). ....Food of the people of the Book (jews& christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them....go read the the verse from Quran yourself.

If they are just boy & girl friends with intimate relationship, thats not permitted in both religions anyway. So no need to debate that.

If they are just friends, no intimate relationship, muslim guy can still accept and eat her food if she volunters. So long as the food is halal.
I hope I answered your question

FYI...islam is not evil as one nairalander said

People from different religions can and have agreed. I didn't think you conservative but your comments here betray such.

Hey brother, now we have to behave as the Good Lord commands don't we? The lord says that its not possible to agree with them...Who are we to say we can?

dunno, not a kind of situation i'm familiar with.

never heard the likes actually.

seems weird to me.

i dont think its necessary.

My parent(father/mother a Muslim and xtian respectively) as a case study: Married for over 45years; does that mean an agreement to you?

Will they ever spiritually be in agreement? Of course not - Your dad will of course not hold hands with your mum in an agreement prayer to bind the devil in the name of Jesus will he?

And where in your bible did God ask, tell or instruct you to bind the Devil?

I laugh at the mentality of some Christians sha

Matthew 18:

18 Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Thats true...thier mentality is limited but remember that they are just following the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE)

Whatever you bind......where did He ask you to bind the Devil?

Oya find another quote, that one turned out wrong

And in all the years of you binding the Devil, how come they have not bound him in Heaven? You mistake the fact that there is a difference between praying right and praying.

"Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven"

what happened? Each time they bound him, he got away abi wetin happen? How many Devil exists that you are always binding?

Did Jesus bind the Devil? What did he say to him?

When the Angels met the Devil what did they tell him?

Stay there and be spending your time binding the Devil in a situation instead of applying the wisdom God gave you and trust him to lead you to solve it.

When you are done binding, call me sogbo
