ANSWER:
What counts is what the muslims say and not the culture or society!
People in the UK are not the measuring stick as they are influenced by the disbelievers who are a majority while most muslims are weak and ignorant! They don’t know Arabic, they don’t know the quran and sunnah well and hence, they have no proper knowledge to judge things over.
Most muslims go to the movies and listen to music 24/7! They have no problem in free mixing in schools and uni and also between cousins! Does this make it halal?
