Advice on Falling into Deviant Thought via Social Media

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, and says: Today, social media is considered one of the greatest causes of young people falling into deviant thought. So what do you advise them to do to avoid falling into that?

Answer:
First, we must scrutinize the curricula by studying 'aqidah (creed), fiqh (jurisprudence), hadith, and tafsir (exegesis), studying this knowledge and this Shari'ah. The curricula must not be mere words with no meaning, or have ideas inserted from here and there. The curricula, the teaching curricula, must be given proper care. The courses must select useful, beneficial books. No book should be prescribed that has not been researched and whose contents are not known. Nor should we entrust the authoring of books to people who have no knowledge, but rather we entrust it to the scholars, entrust it to the scholars who prepare them, supervise them, and monitor them. This is necessary. Yes.
