Is it shameful for an unmarried muslim teenager to be curious about Islam's view on sex ?

It will be the duty of a Muslim parent to educate his%2Fher teenage child on%0D%0Amatters pertaining to the child's deen and not necessarily the intimate%0D%0Athings of life. Whe the parent notices that the young teenager is at the age%0D%0Aof maturity then with tact and wisdom the parent should explain the Islaamic%0D%0Ainjunctions and laws which will now apply to the child. For example, the%0D%0Ateenager should be made to understand that the removing of pubic hairs is%0D%0Anecessary and that after a nocturnal emmission, a compulsory bath will have%0D%0Ato be taken and the different rulings applying to young girls who will be%0D%0Aexperiencing menstruation.%0D%0A%0D%0AThis will be sufficient for a parent to explain to his%2Fher teenage child.%0D%0AMore than this is not totally necessary unless the child has to ask or the%0D%0Aparent feels a need to explain such intimate things. Also, one should note%0D%0Athat between parent and child there should exist a certain degree of shame%0D%0Aand modesty. This is desired between a parent and child relationship or else%0D%0Athere will be no sense of respect for the parent which could be detrimental%0D%0Afor the nurturing and imbibement of good qualities and etiquette in the%0D%0Achild. If modesty and shame is prevlent in the parent%2Fshild relationship%0D%0Athen such an explicit discussion will be quiet strange and uncomfortable.%0D%0A%0D%0AAs time goes on in a teenager's life, gradually he%2Fshe will learn the facts%0D%0Aof life as this system prevailed from before till now.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai
