Sharing mobile phone messages containing hadiths and supplications
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Muhammad from Riyadh says: I ask that the question be read to the Shaykh for the general benefit. Messages are circulated via mobile phone that include hadiths and supplications, and the sender asks the recipient to send it again so that he may receive reward and recompense. Sometimes he says, “It is a trust with you, so send it to others.” What is the authenticity of this?
Answer:
This is not valid and is not permissible unless the hadiths are authentic and established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If you know their authenticity, there is no harm in conveying them to people. If you do not know their authenticity, ask the people of knowledge about them. Do not spread hadiths about which you know nothing, which may be fabricated or inserted into the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
