Of all the kuffaar days of festival and money-making such as christmas day, mother's day, father's day, ghost's day, shaitaan's day, etc., the worst and most immoral is the festival day called St Valentine's Day. It is the most immoral occasion because it is a festival of zina (fornication) from beginning to end – in idea, words and actions.
The very conception of this occasion is deification and idolization of zina.
In addition to this accursed festival of zina being an act of fisq and fujoor, it is an act of kufr. Believing haraam to be halaal is kufr which eliminates Imaan.
The basis and the edifice of this immoral kuffaar festival day which has been given greater impetus by its commercialization, are the promotion of zina of the heart, zina of the mind, zina of the tongue, zina of the eyes, zina of the hands, zina of the legs and even the ultimate act of actual fornication/adultery.
The most lamentable development of this festival of zina in regard to Muslims is the degree of Muslim indulgence in it. Muslims flagrantly participate in the zina acts and paraphernalia of this satanic festival as if it is a `blessed' occasion permitted by Islam. The wide-scale participation in this day of zina has so thoroughly desensitised the Imaani conscience of Muslims that even the learned ones who are supposed to guide the community have grown accustomed to it.
Parents observe and allow their children at secular schools to totally immerse themselves in the satanic aura and effects of the zina culture of this particular day of fornication.
It is indeed lamentable in this era to explain to Muslims, in an attempt to make them understand that Islam does not permit zina in any form whatsoever. Many Muslims who have completely lost their Imaani bearings regard this day of zina to be a day of `innocent' and light-hearted `fun'. Zina has now become acceptable to numerous Muslims.
While modernist Muslims still have some, not much, inhibition for the actual act of zina (fornication/adultery), they have no qualms and no reservations about the multitude of introductory stepping stones which lead to zina proper. Yet the Qur'aan Majeed prohibits, not only zina but all acts leading to zina.
Thus the Qur'aan Shareef warns: "Do not approach zina". The approaches of zina which are all haraam, are all such acts which have the potential of inciting sexual passion.
Thus, intermingling of sexes, speaking to the opposite sex, looking at the opposite sex, solitude with the opposite sex, saying even Assalamu Alaikum to the opposite sex, thinking or fantasizing of the opposite sex, lustful communication with the opposite sex, be it by letter, phone, etc., and every act which incites sexual passion and inclines one to the opposite sex
