the Misguidance of MuzMatch

What is MuzzMatch up to? Shout out to brother Mahdi Tajani for highlighting the corruption and corrupting messages being promoted by this company. I honestly wasn't aware of this at all until I saw part of a video that brother Mahendi made yesterday that talked about it. I didn't watch the entire video, unfortunately, because it's about two hours long. But in the beginning section, he featured some content from MuzzMatch's Instagram account that pretty resoundingly incriminates the company as a spreader of un Islamic feminist concepts and outright corruption.

In one clip, there's a Muslim woman featured with captions that give what her expectations are in a marriage, including I don't have to cook for you, I don't have to clean for you, and I don't have to have sex with you if I don't want to. Okay. Let's leave the cooking and cleaning aside. But the whole point of marriage is the legalization of access to sexual intercourse. In Arabic, literally means sexual intercourse and Islam has taught us that sexual intimacy is only halal when the whole host of other conditions are met that constitute what we know today as marriage.

I e, mahar, commitment, provision, awama, loyalty, and so on. Rasulullah told us that these are the conditions that make her and your private parts permissible for each other. So saying, I don't have to have sex with my husband if I don't feel like it is like trying to put into the contract your right to breach the contract without somehow that nullifying the agreement. No. That's an invalid stipulation that would render the contract null and void.

The whole contract is entered into to legalize access to sexual intimacy. The woman is agreeing in principle to granting her husband unrestricted sexual access to her, and he is then bound by a multitude of other obligations, both specifically as a husband and generally as a Muslim. I e, he has to take care of her. He has to treat her kindly. He has to treat her honorably.

He has to protect her, and he cannot harm her. Meaning that, obviously, if there's a valid reason for her to decline sexual intercourse with him, such as being sick or whatnot, then he has to respect that. But just I'm not in the mood is not a valid reason. He might not be in the mood to work eight to nine hours a day and hand over all of his earnings to you to provide for you, but he has to do it anyway because that's the deal. Now brother Mahdi used the Muzzmatch clips as if they are representative of the state of mind and the mentality of all Muslim women, and I don't think that's fair.

My question is why is Muzzmatch promoting un Islamic feminist ideology that contradicts Islamic principles and values so flagrantly? In other clips that I saw on their Instagram account, they have a Muslim woman talking about whether or not a man should pay for the first date. And other clips make it explicitly clear that this company regards its product as a dating app, not a matrimonial app. They are in the business of helping Muslims find girlfriends and boyfriends. It's the Muslim Tinder.

So given that, it's not surprising that you will find people who use the app holding views about marriage that make them ineligible for marriage. These are the kind of people that no one would marry, but someone might date, which means obviously that the users of this app are Muslims who date. This is not a pool of people that any serious Muslim who's genuinely interested in marriage will look to to find a spouse, and it does not represent that type of Muslim. Look, feminism is just like Red Pill. It wants women to be vulnerable and unprotected.

For feminists, they mislead women into thinking that they can go through life without a qawam and that they can stand toe to toe with men. This just sets them up for exploitation and ruin. And Red Pill wants women to be treated on the same standard as men, basically calling feminists on their bluff, which also sets women up for exploitation and ruin. Masmatch has one video of a Muslim woman with a Billie Eilish hairstyle type hijab saying that it's a green flag for her in looking for a husband if the man says that he's a feminist. So So it's explicitly clear that MuzzMatch is endorsing an ideology that sets women up for victimization, not for marriage and the safety and protection of a husband's kawama.

It's also clear that MuzzMatch must have some of affiliate marketing program whereby users can earn commissions off of how many people they can refer to join the app, which immediately calls into question any and all endorsements that they use and the character of those who do it. They're making money by promoting relationships and ideas that Islam does not sanction and that will lead to un Islamic ends. So if you're on this app, I would advise you to get off of it. And if you're marketing this app, I would advise you to stop. Any marriages that do come about through this app, I would predict, are just going to end up contributing to an increase in the divorce rate within the Muslim community.
