Obtaining a fatwa from mobile phone messages

Question:
Shaykh Salih, in this recent period, fatwas have truly multiplied, as have the statements and calls to Islam on mobile phones. They send them, saying: Honorable Shaykh, they have no religious knowledge, and this also came on one of the mobile phones.

Answer:
A fatwa is not taken from mobile phones where the ignorant, the malicious, and the misguiding speak; rather, a fatwa is taken from scholars, either in person, by correspondence, or by phone or mobile phone call. Matters are facilitated, and praise be to Allah, in the matter of fatwas. The appointed muftis to whom fatwas are entrusted are known, and praise be to Allah. One should seek a fatwa from one who has knowledge and whose creed and religion are trusted. A fatwa is not taken from mobile phones or from suspicious websites where the ignorant and the malicious enter. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
