The Ruling on a Da'iyah Entering Social Media

Question:
Our Shaykh, your son Faisal ibn Jaber, the center for da'wah in Riyadh. May Allah reward you. The various internet platforms known as social media and other things on the internet. People follow them, even in our lands. The views and followers reach numbers that were previously in the hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands, and some who have nothing beneficial to offer, or rather some who have things that harm people in their religion, have reached millions in followers and views. So, may Allah reward you, do you see that the da'iyah should enter these platforms to convey the message to people, teach them tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and what is important to them regarding their religion, and refute doubts? Or do you advise the da'iyah to avoid that?

Answer:
He is required to utilize these means, to convey good through them, and not leave them to the corrupters. He is required to utilize them, and you are more entitled to them than he is. These are means of conveying the message, and you are more entitled to them than he is. If you are unable to obtain them and take them from their hands, then you should establish means from your own funds and the funds of the benefactors. Establish means that counter these ideas and these falsehoods, that spread good and counter evil. Yes.
