The ruling on considering electronic groups as scholarly gatherings

Question:
He says: There is an application on the mobile phone where some people gather around the topic of prayer, or the topic of maintaining family ties, or the topic of zakah. Are these gatherings considered those surrounded by angels?

Answer:
No. The scholarly gatherings are the circles of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that include recitation of the Qur'an, discussion of knowledge, knowledge of hadith, knowledge of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and knowledge of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). These are the scholarly gatherings. As for merely looking at recordings or on the internet, if there is benefit and usefulness in it, there is nothing wrong with it. But to consider it as one of the circles of dhikr, no. And seeking knowledge is not done in this way. Knowledge is taken from scholars, from teaching circles, and from teaching classes. Yes.
