Dr. Tarek Elgawhary (‪@MakingSenseofIslam‬) of Making Sense of Islam and Sameera Qureshi (@sexualhealthformuslims) have launched a collaboration series, to answer the most common questions Muslims have about their sexual health.

This week, we’re exploring the topic of premarital sex. What is the reality of premarital sex among Muslims? And what are Islamic perspectives on this topic? And why?

Stay tuned each Friday as we release a new video!
