SERIES: Sex Positive Muslim Family: Hot Takes on "Halal Dating"

Y'all know what FEBRUARY means on this podcast: love, sex, and all the stuff we would never discuss in public, but feel safe listening to on a podcast. Whether you listen in private or with a partner, I'm so glad you're here for it. This month's series is "Sex Positive Muslim Family," and I'll go blue in the face asking us to create one. Never been on a halal date? Turns out, most of us have, whether we were old school or modern arranged, met through friends, or online. It's not the oxymoron it first sounded like to an old fogey like me. I challenge listeners to expand our vocabulary and thoughts, but I share all of your "haram reservations." Let's get uncomfortable together. Mariam Afzal helps redefine "dating" for Generations X and Alpha, bringing home the message that all of it can look and be halal if we, as parents, create safe spaces for our kids. That means holding honest conversations, setting boundaries, and maybe chilling out and remembering that we are not to raise our children as we were raised. Biding the advice of Ali (RA), our children are for a different world, as we were for ours. So let's see how we can navigate this precarious future and keep it halal. Dating, rebellion, parenting genders, birth order, too....we avoided deep dives to stay on track, but I'm sure there will be a couple of new series coming just out of this one episode. Share the link with a friend, and post your craziest halal dating story in the comments.
