Being harassed sexually

· 9 Shaʻban 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I was harassed sexually by force by some people. Is it my mistake and will my prayers be accepted by Allah Ta'ala. I am a male.

Answer

If there was no negligence on your part which brought about this outcome and you were completely helpless in the situation, then there will be no sin upon you. However as a precaution it is better to make istighfaar.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
