Subscribing to the Internet for a Student of Knowledge

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on subscribing to what is called the Internet for a student of knowledge who wants to benefit from some of these sites?

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe. It brings us calamity. Is it disliked? Is it disliked? This is like dissection. There is no difference. And it brings the sin, and the sin. Rather, it brings more sin.
So a Muslim should not subscribe to it, nor open it in his home where his children are present, for it is not suitable for him, because he asks about this and that, and does this once and that once, until he is corrupted in his dreams. A person should avoid these means, for they are means of security, and even if there is some benefit in them, the harms in them are more and greater. A Muslim, especially a student of knowledge, should avoid these things. And praise be to Allah, without this nearness. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on putting a gold-plated pen in a man's pocket, and wearing glasses?

The Shaykh:
And what we know from this Internet is that it brings forbidden things, and the most severe of what it brings are the beliefs of the disbelievers, and the beliefs of the misguided sects, the Shi'ah and the Batiniyyah, and the misguided sects, differing from one another, the Bahaiyyah, and they all put this on the Internet. And it is presented to you; you see it is not permissible to look into these matters because you will be fitna'd by them. Yes. Also the Qadiyyah appears to them also in these programs. The ordinary person avoids these matters.
