Question:
Please, Mansur from al-Qassim. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you safe. Peace be upon you. I love you, Shaykh Salih. I seek Allah’s forgiveness. Welcome. The first and the last are messages passed between mobile phones saying, “If you do not send this message, such and such will happen to you,” and they are passed from person to person or among people. All right, thank you.
Answer:
These are false prophets and liars who lie on mobile phones, saying, “If you do not forward and distribute this, you will be afflicted with such and such,” and “If you distribute it, you will receive such and such a reward.” These are liars, and they must be stopped at their limit. Do not spread their myths and falsehoods. Yes.
