Muhammad from Subat al-Allaya, please, Muhammad. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Peace be upon you. We ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to protect our rulers, our scholars, and our country. Amen. Amen. And the honorable Shaykh, the question, O honorable Shaykh. We have been afflicted with this companion that carries the young and the old, which are mobile phones and Facebook, and we are in the blessed month. The Quranic verse that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned in the Noble Quran
Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earnedظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ
[Ar-Rum 30:41]
to melt the heat of their arrows, some of them against others, to take the return. Honorable Shaykh, is this punishment that some of them pass on to others in mockery, in their secrets, in revealing their intentions, and we are in this blessed month? I want you, O honorable one, to comment on this aspect. The second question, may Allah preserve you. Wait, let the Shaykh answer, wait. Yes. O honorable Shaykh, the same thing you mentioned, may Allah preserve you, may Allah preserve you, about mobile phones and what is passed on in them of mockery and ridicule of people and tweets, he says: I want you to comment on it, especially since we are in this month.

Answer:
As we mentioned in a previous answer, mobile phones are for calls only, and as for using them for amusement, play, and mockery, this is not permissible. This is using them for what is not permissible. Yes.
