The Production of Audio Tapes Suitable for Good and Evil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), what is the ruling on the production of audio tapes that are suitable for both good and evil?
Answer:
No, no, there is no sin in their production; rather, the sin is on the one who uses them for evil. As for you, you have stated that they are used for evil, so they are like vessels. A vessel can be used to drink honey, and it can be used to drink intoxicants. Would one say, “I wish the vessel were not made”? No, that is not correct. So, the production of these tapes is among the permissible things, and as for the one who uses them for evil, his sin is upon him.
