Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on using the internet, and what is your opinion of those who say it is a primary means of da'wah (calling others to Islam)? Your Eminence knows that it is a gathering place for all evil, and indeed it is worse than satellite channels. Please give us guidance on this, may Allah grant you success. I do not know him, but the questioner is a person who is mentioned at the end of the question.
Answer:
Since it is more evil than satellite channels, the Muslim should turn away from it and keep his distance from it.
