The Ruling on Listening to Religious Programs on the Mobile Phone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, there are programs on the mobile phone where many people gather, and the discussion revolves around, for example, prayer, zakah, maintaining family ties, and other matters of religion. Is that considered one of the gatherings in which the angels surround them?
Answer:
If the people speaking in these media are scholars who benefit people and whose knowledge is beneficial, then there is no harm in looking into them, and this is one of the gatherings of knowledge. However, if the people speaking in them are not scholars, or are scholars of misguidance, then it is not permissible to listen to them or look into these things, because they are misguidance. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
