It stands to reason that having a girlfriend is not the manner of a Muslim. It is forbidden for a male Muslim to have a girlfriend, as it is forbidden for a female Muslim to have a boyfriend.

Tackling this point in details, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, former president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) states:Muslims should have good relations with all people, males as well as females, at school, at work, in you neighborhood etc. You should be kind and courteous to everyone. However, it is not allowed in Islam to take a non-mahram person or persons of the opposite gender as a very close friend. Such friendship often leads to haram. In the Qur'an, Allah mentioned that good men and women are those who marry, do not have fornicating relationships and do not have "paramours" or Akhdan see An-Nisaa': 25, Al-Ma'idah: 5).

Akhdan are "sweethearts" or for a man a "mistress" and for a woman a "lover". The Prophet, peace and blessings be upom him, is reported to have stated that "whenever two strangers of the opposite gender are alone with each other, Satan becomes the third one between them." (At-Tirmidhi)"

So it is not allowed for a Muslim boy to have a girlfriend or for a Muslim girl to have a boyfriend. Howsoever pure your intentions may be, the danger is that it will lead you to sin. Or at least you will be alone with each other and spend more time together.

Thus, you should be friendly with your classmates, boys and girls both; but do not take a girl as your intimate friend. Of course, homosexuality is also forbidden in Islam. So do not take a boy either as your intimate friend in the "gay sense" of the word.

If your friend, not girlfriend, is interested in Islam, by all means help her to become Muslim. Give her the Islamic books and ask her to attend Islamic meetings and lectures. Let her accept Islam by her own will. Do not force her or put any pressure on her to become Muslim. May Allah bless you and keep you on the right path.

No they are not. Muslims cannot date the western way. You can halal date though. Halal Dating is when a man and woman meet but there has to be a adult at all times no kissing no sex no touching

its not about a moslem having a relationship but a person who believes in Islam should follow certain principles which includes strictly avoiding extramarital relationships and relationships out of wedlock as these are considered major sin hence unlawful

Let me first explain what is 'HAVING A GIRL FRIEND":

Do you see the things and events happening in the Europe and America? Pregnancy, AIDS and so on. Now they are trying to find solutions to their problems. But their situation is like a man inside the fire and trying to find something that prevents the heat of fire and protects him safe inside the fire. But Islam commands Muslims not to enter the fire.

Allah says in the Qur'aan, "Don't go close to fornication". There is a crucial point, Allah doesn't say Don't fornicate, but says don't get close to it. It means that refrain from all the ways that may carry you to fornication.

One may say that, I don't have any bad thought about my girlfriend. We're only friends. But the Satan is always with you. If one touches a girl's hand and says that no bad thought has passed through my mind, then he is lying. Or he has problem. Let him prepare for the future for having no child.

There are too many things to say, but in short

HAVING GIRLFRIEND IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM.

But this is not a problem. If you love someone, then marry her. Why should you go to forbidden ways, if there is a solution?......

Another point of view:

I was taught in my Catholic upbringing that it is necessary to "Avoid the occasion for sin". In other words, you are responsible for knowing where you may be in danger of sin and to avoid that situation. That could be a sin of any type. It seems to say the same thing.
