Sending a kissing emoji to one's wife in the state of ihraam

· 24 Muharram 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

On 8 Zul Hijjah in the state of ihram, while chatting with my wife, I sent my wife a kissing emoji with good night message in a mobile, as I usually send to my wife when we chat. I sent it to her just in a normal chatting way, not by lust, she was also in the state of ihram, but she was in next tent to me.

My question is, is there is damm of a badana? Or my hajj is complete or invalid?

Answer

The hajj is valid, however in the state of ihraam it is makrooh to speak of such things that relate to lust. Similarly, pictures of emojis have resemblance with pictures of animate objects. Hence, it is impermissible for one to draw such pictures or send such pictures to people. You and your wife should make taubah for this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
