Immorality (fujur).
0:11
The linguistic root of the term fujur.
0:13
It denotes opening up and bursting forth.
0:15
From this comes the term for the break of dawn (fajr).
0:17
And the term for an explosion (infijar).
0:20
As for fujur in the context of Islamic law:
0:22
It is the act of opening up and bursting forth into acts of disobedience,
0:24
without any concern for their consequences.
0:27
Allah the Exalted says:
0:29
"Rather, man wishes
0:31
to continue in his wickedness."
0:33
Meaning, he wishes to proceed
0:35
forward in acts of disobedience to Allah the Exalted,
0:37
with nothing to restrain him
0:39
from them.
0:41
Thus, the immoral person (fajir)
0:43
is one who transgresses against his own soul
0:45
through acts of disobedience and by deviating
0:47
from the obedience of Allah,
0:49
indifferent to the harms of that
0:51
and its consequences.
0:53
In general terms,
0:55
fujur is the opposite of righteousness (birr).
0:57
It is a comprehensive term for every
0:59
evil and every inclination
1:01
and rush toward acts of disobedience.
1:03
Among its signs are:
1:05
deviation from the law of Allah,
1:07
treating His teachings lightly,
1:09
and a lack of concern
1:11
for the consequences of sins,
1:13
as well as frequent lying
1:15
and fabrication.
1:17
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:19
"Indeed, lying leads
1:21
to immorality (fujur)."
1:23
Agreed upon.
1:25
Falling into immorality
1:27
and persisting in it.
