Relying on mobile phone messages for hadiths and rulings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, recently messages have started coming through mobile phones. These messages, Honorable Shaykh, are for encouraging good or other things, or citing a hadith, or warning about a hadith Salih. We ask for guidance on this?
Answer:
Do not rely on mobile phones or what is published in them, because ignorance may enter them, or they may be filled with error, or misguidance may also enter them. So do not rely on mobile phones. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:43] Ask the scholars
