The Ruling on Subscribing to Da'wah Mobile Messages
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Abu 'Umar. He says: Recently, Shaykh, messages of unknown origin have spread on mobile phones. They say, "Know your religion and the Sunnah of your Prophet, and send to number such-and-such, or subscribe to Islamic services for such-and-such per month." Is it permissible to subscribe to something like this?
Answer:
I do not know what is in these things or what they contain, but do not rush into mobile messages. I have warned against them how many times during this program. I said that many things are mixed into mobile messages, and that the people of superstition and the people of misguidance use them to promote their evil and misguidance. So be wary of them and do not rush into them. Yes.
