The Balance Between Sacred Knowledge and Communication Means
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, in our present time, communication means have multiplied, such as the internet and channels, which have occupied people and students of knowledge, distracting them from beneficial knowledge, and everyone has come to look at these communications. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What should we do? How can we have a balance between our sacred knowledge and our daily reality?
Answer:
You are a rational and believing person, so do not occupy yourself with what is of no benefit to you, or what is harmful to your religion, because many of these channels promote misguidance and doubts in the religion, as well as incorrect fatwas. There is great evil in them, and they spread misguidance, sorcery, and other things, because they have no control. So you must avoid them and keep your home and those in it away from these channels that bring evil and cause doubts in the religion, and perhaps cause argument among people to no avail. Yes.
