I was expecting this answer from a Salafi site who always go over the board in their rulings.
There are 2 reasons they always give, 1) Distraction from remembering God 2) Can lead to ill in future
Questions you need to ask yourself are:
1) Does the same reason of distraction apply to you when you watch TV, use internet, play sports etc? If yes, should they all be declared haram?
2) Does the reason of leading to ill in future also apply on you getting connected to internet or watching TV/movies? If yes, should they all be declared haram and prohibited?
More importantly, don't you think this entire thing of using haram/halal is for people's personal grudges against others and not for what they actually believe?
Anyway, I'll simply read your response and try to move on without getting engaged any further(for safety reasons lol).
