The ruling on messages that ask to be forwarded to ten people
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks about the ruling on messages in which the sender asks you, or swears you to, forward them to ten other people.
Answer:
There is no basis for this; it has no basis. Do not send it to anyone, and do not act on his words. These are beginnings of religious innovation (bid'ah) and beginnings of conditions. Behind mobile phones are people who sneak in innovations and evils upon people, along with trials. Beware of them. Yes.
