Asalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters
00:00:30.120
On this part we're going to show can male and females just be friends
00:00:40.160
So the Reality Show as you know is sponsored by Pure Matrimony
00:00:43.840
The Most Halal website that's been spoken by many chefs and scholars out there who recommend it
00:00:54.720
So let's go straight into it and see what the females have to say
00:01:00.440
Do you believe male and females can only be friends?
00:01:06.420
Has any of them been attracted to you and wanted to be more than friends?
00:01:11.220
Do you think male and females can only be friends? Nothing more?
00:01:41.680
It's difficult because if there is one person that likes the other one
00:01:53.260
Have you ever had an experience where you saw a guy as a friend
00:02:02.260
Doesn't that show like they can't really be friends?
00:02:04.600
Do you believe male and females can only be friends?
00:02:12.120
Because if a girl and a girl can be friends why can't a guy and a girl?
00:02:15.560
Do you believe male and females can only be friends? Nothing more?
00:02:21.460
Because once they start hanging out they create a bond
00:02:27.500
Do you think male and females can only be friends?
00:02:55.900
Tell me what you think about what just happened
00:03:04.900
But most of them were like yeah there's nothing wrong
00:03:16.160
Do you think male and females can only be friends?
00:05:21.800
Have you ever had a female friend that you was attracted to?
00:05:29.800
Now the males it clearly contradicts what the females are saying
00:05:42.800
I said to him if you had the chance would you go out with him?
00:05:55.800
Have you ever had a female friend that you was attracted to?
00:06:01.800
It clearly contradicts what the females are saying
00:06:25.800
Assuming that they're both heterosexual in this case
00:07:07.800
How attractive do you think your friend finds you to be?
00:07:11.800
How interested in pursuing a relationship with your friend are you?
00:07:20.800
The results show that there is a huge gender difference
00:07:29.800
And had absolutely no inkling that they would ever have a romantic relationship with the men
00:07:39.800
Estimation of how attractive the women found them to be
00:07:44.800
Yeah I would actually be into having a romantic relationship with this woman
00:07:55.800
It really appears to be much more straight forward to be just friends
00:07:59.800
So Musa can you just quickly summarize it for us
00:08:06.800
Obviously what does the Quran and Sunnah say about this matter of course
00:08:10.800
Obviously living in our normal day to day lives
00:08:13.800
If we think about it from a woman's perspective
00:08:36.800
And this is exactly the kind of mindset the females have on this
00:08:50.800
That's why we have this whole time of being friend-zoned
00:08:53.800
It's when a female doesn't want to be more than just a friend
00:09:02.800
We never think a girl ends up in the friend-zoned
00:09:39.800
Is because he has this sense of attraction in him
00:09:46.800
All of your mates have these agendas in their heads
00:09:58.800
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala specifically mentions
00:10:20.800
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says this in the Quran
00:10:22.800
Is because of the kind of effect women have on us
00:10:33.800
And the Prophet sallallahu wa ta'ala said the same thing
00:10:50.800
Islam completely stops it from going anywhere near there
00:11:07.800
In the way that you are thinking about this next girl
00:11:18.800
The way that you are trying to do it to this girl
00:11:48.800
And you know what kind of fitna this stops bro?
00:11:53.800
Men won't go around doing bad things like watching porn
00:15:00.800
You'll never have this sort of feelings that we have
00:15:53.800
Do you think male and females can just be friends?
00:17:01.800
And not be obstacles and barriers in their path
