The Ruling on Subscribing to the Internet for a Student of Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on subscribing to what is called the Internet for a student of knowledge who wants to benefit from some of these sites?
The Shaykh:
Allah, like a day that brings down a calamity upon us, this is like the scattering, this is the difference, and it answers the good and the bad, rather it answers the bad more, so it is not befitting for the Muslim to use it, nor to open it in his home where his children are, even if it is not suitable for him, because he becomes lenient little by little, and he does it once, does it once, until he is stripped of morals, a person should avoid these means, for they are means of security, and even if there is some benefit in them, the harms in them are more and greater, the Muslim, especially the student of knowledge, avoids these things, and knowledge is made easy, praise be to Allah, without these circumstances.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on placing a gold-plated pen in a man's pocket and wearing glasses?
The Shaykh:
And what we know about this person is that he provides forbidden things, and the most severe of what he provides are the beliefs of the disbelievers, and the beliefs of the dominant sects of the Shi'ah and the Batiniyyah and the lost ball in the one ball of the Bahai, and they all put it in this name and present it to them. So it is not permissible to look into these matters because they respond to them. Yes. Also the Qadiyyaniyyah, a site is shown to them in these programs as well. The sensible person avoids these matters, yes.
