- It is permissible in the shari'ah (Islamic law) to watch TV and anything
else that can be used for either lawful and unlawful purposes; the sin
befalls the person who uses it unlawfully.
- It is impermissible for your cousin to touch you. According to the
opinion of some scholars, it is only permissible to shake hands with the
opposite sex if there is no fear of temptation (fitna) or if it is part of your
customs.
- It is permissible for a woman to wear the garments she wishes so long as
she abides by the requirements of lawful hijab. This means that her
clothes must cover her entire body save the face and hands (Hanafi
scholars permit Muslim women to uncover their feet). It is also a
condition that a woman’s attire does not arouse temptation (fitna) or
prohibited desires.
