    I need halal stories to get through the month(keep in mind, I'm a girl). That means I can't read BL anymore:blobcry::blobcry:(That's no excuse... I shouldn't be reading them anyway) so I need recs that don't have any smut in them. When I look through my reading, most of them are Bls and there are like 3 that aren't.
    • No smut
    • No harem
    • No Tragedies or angst
    • No bl:blobexpressionless::blobexpressionless:
    • No wishy-washy female leads
    • I'm okay with Horror and Comedy
    I realized when I checked my requirements that I lived a pretty unhalal life. Well I guess I gotta wait for my period
    Edit: After thinking, I also need mangas and animes which are probably easier than novels(Take in mind I'm still a girl). If you wanna know my specific taste, take a look at my reading list

    Well honestly, any romance story out there isn't safe. So better to stay away and keep your patience for now.

    As a wannabe internet expert in religions etc, I have to point out that technically, all these religious fasting periods, be it Lent, Ramadan or others, are not about a specific list of "banned goods", but about sacrifice and self-limitation. Its just that main guidelines were written centuries ago when the idea of just having food could be considered as luxury. So yeah, any entertainment as it is, with any kind of novels included, would be off limits then.

    If you're like most otaku, you are likely sleep deprived. This is the season to catch up.

    Probably off of your beaten path, but these should be helal or at least non-so-haram:
    Hanging out with a gamer girl [manga]
    Machida-kun no sekai [manga]
    Tomehane! [manga]

    Hmm, that's true, there's gotta be at least kiss scenes or sth but does reading count?? I mean you're just reading

    Does reading count, I mean we're just looking at words(I know I'm looking for a loophole in religion)and no it's not any form of entertainment, it's more like the month of holiness and forgiveness.
    Ramadhan Kareem

    Ramadhan Kareem as well
    Haha, that's where you're wrong, my mom is strict she takes away our phone and turn off our wifi when we sleep.

    Time to go old school. Flashlights & paperbooks, it is then. :p
    I just remembered, the head of Ivy Scans was from a Muslim country, too. Her group has been inactive, but the shojo that her group scanlated should have some relatively helal titles: https://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=222
    Golden Days had some implied, but nothing really shown.

    Reading if done with intention of entertainment would be no-no. So reading with purpose of education (textbooks, instructions etc) or religion (holy texts then) would be the only acceptable thing.
    If you really need a loophole (which a seriously religious person wouldn't consider, to be honest - what's the purpose of self-limitation and fasting if you think not about higher things, but how to get around the idea for your own convenience?), then you could look into reading novels as a part of educational activity. Picking up literature classes, analysis of text and stuff.

    Welcome to 21st century. Religions were important historically for regulating society and giving people common guidelines to identify themselves. Nowadays, being able and determined to truly follow religious tenets would make one a clergy or a pretty radical fanatic. People might claim being truly religious, but since when has anyone seen a Christian ready to turn the other cheek or a Muslim who has actually truly never lied?
