Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. This means a questioner is asking about, well, some questions that came from the brother Abu Aishah al-Fadli from Kuwait. He says: He is asking about a boy who has reached the age of maturity and desires the smartphone called the iPhone. He says: Is it permissible for him to buy this device, even though it is difficult for him to monitor and control him?
Answer:
If the device contains matters that are dangerous to the religion, the creed, or the honor, then it is not permissible for him to possess it. He should possess an ordinary phone that he can benefit from for calls and communications. As for what contains evil, brings evil, and is used in a bad way, it is not permissible to use it or buy it. Yes.
