What is the ruling on writing topics that include amorous or emotional poetry in forums, and what is required to be done upon seeing them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One should not be preoccupied with an abundance of permissible romantic poetry, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "That the inner part of a man be filled with pus that makes him vomit it is better than that it be filled with poetry." This is especially true if it lacks a sound purpose, as it wastes time or may lead to forbidden passionate love and infatuation. As for forbidden romantic poetry, it must be denounced and its dissemination prevented.
