Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people send a message via mobile phone and then write at the end, “Share it and you will be rewarded.” Is this appropriate? It is as if he is ruling that there is a reward.
Answer:
First, what is this advice? If it is from superstitions or from lies, then the one who spreads it sins and does not receive a reward. But if it is from what has come in the texts of advice, goodness, and the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, then he receives a reward for spreading it and conveying it to the people and calling them to it. However, there is no need for the mobile phone; people advise one another with this among themselves and in their gatherings, so there is no need for mobile phones, because things may be inserted into mobile phones that have no basis in the Shari'ah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
