Muslims going on boys trips
Q: It has become a trend amongst our Muslim people where they go on days on end to far away destinations for fishing trips etc. A so-called boys trip, where all types of things happen, from ganja, hukka, etc. to who knows what. Leaving their families all alone at home. What is more, even the so-called ‘Deen Daar, Tableeghi Jamaat brothers, and the like, actually join these people. Saying we need to go out and DE STRESS.
Another fitna is that they have a place where they go (Club House) or one friends house generally after Esha till the late hours of the night to play cards, tunnee, games, etc. with friends. Leaving their families alone at night.
This happens from the old grandfathers going down to the grandchildren. They all have their own clicks and spots to hang out or go on boys trips.
A lot of times these guys can’t make it to the masjid for Fajar Salaah. Is the behavior, to put it mildly, not well beyond INSANITY?
How can a true Muslim sleep in peace in the place where he will be satanically wasting so much funds whilst surrounded by masses of suffering Muslims? Never can one be a Muslim with such a cruel, hard-hearted attitude. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “The Muslimoon are like one man. When the eye pains, the whole body is affected. When he has a headache, the whole body is affected.”
A: This is not at all a Muslim's behaviour. Apart from the wrongs, chatting after Esha has not at all been recommended. Hadhrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) used to strongly object against this. Secondly, it is also being very insensitive to the feelings of the family and children.
There is no need to elaborate on something that is forbidden (ganja, etc.) It should be discouraged. Perhaps those who have some association with the pious or jamaat, their elders should be informed so that they may endeavour to correct them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
