The Ruling on Learning Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on learning the science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming? It is known that this is a Western science, but it has positive aspects, such as da'wah (calling to Islam), optimism, and other positive aspects in life. Is it to be treated like other sciences, by taking from it what agrees with the Shari'ah and leaving what contradicts the Shari'ah?
Answer:
In truth, I do not know the reality of this programming, but according to what I have read, there is no good in it, and it contains things that undermine 'aqidah (creed). Since that is the case, it is not permissible to deal with it, even if it has a partial benefit. The harms are looked at, and not the partial benefit in it. Rather, the harms in it are looked at and compared with the benefits. If the harm is greater and predominant, then the weaker benefit is not considered.
