Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give my wife permission to pool resources with her sisters to buy a mobile phone for their brother, who is studying in high school? It is a device known as a BlackBerry. He says: Is it permissible for me to allow her to do this? The uses of this phone are in an attempt.
Answer:
No. A phone that poses a danger to a person is not to be bought. One should only buy a plain phone for calls only, with nothing extra beyond the use of making calls. If it answers forbidden things or dangerous things, it is not permissible to sell it or buy it.
