Exhortation Cards in the Form of Travel Tickets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I told him something, but he delayed and postponed it, taking the people into consideration with it. So the longing in it is that the traveler, so-and-so from the children of Adam, is happy. The provision is taqwa (mindfulness of Allah).
Answer:
These are good; these cards have become widespread. But these have no basis, and it is not permissible to make things like this. This is not exhortation. Exhortation is not to be degraded by being put in this form, as if it were a ticket at an airport. This is like degrading matters of knowledge and degrading exhortation and reminding of the Hereafter in this way. This is a stretched-out method and is not permissible. Yes.
