Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: May Allah preserve you, we ask you for advice for the Muslims in the age of trials and the spread of these devices, the social media devices that have become so numerous.
Answer:
The Muslim and the student of knowledge should avoid them. He should not look at them, not be occupied with them, and should stay away from them. Praise be to Allah, they cause confusion for him, and doubts may enter him through them, and false beliefs may enter them. So he should not look at them, not approach them, and should stay away from them and keep them away from his home and his children. This is a danger. Yes.
