Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you and benefit through you. Also, Honorable Shaykh, this person says: What is your advice to some of the young women who are preoccupied with social media, and this affects their prayers, and sometimes it may open a door for them to some forbidden relationships?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to enter into this matter, and she should stay away from these websites and these distracting mobile phones that bring about evil. So they should avoid that. The mobile phone is only to be used for need, to receive a call and respond to it for need only. As for taking it as a means of flirting or a means of correspondence or the like of that, this is corruption, and it leads to corruption, and it is not permissible. Yes.
