The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : The mobile phone has appeared recently, and its use has become widespread among women, especially young girls. It has been misused for harassment, with no human supervisor or accountability. Is there any advice for fathers and young girls? It has become one of the most dangerous traps of Satan?

The Shaykh : There is no power or might except with Allah. The advice is: The causes of evil in our time have multiplied. It is a trial by which Allah tests those He wills to test. It is a test from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Indeed, Allah the Exalted may test His servants by making the paths to sin easy for them. Listen: He may test His servants by making the paths to sin easy for them. What the questioner mentioned is a reality. Mobile phones are a close means for young women to connect with young men, because they use them everywhere, even in the bathroom. And if someone calls, their number appears on the phone, making it easy to contact them. So it is dangerous. Therefore, I first advise our young men and young women to refrain from this shameful act. I hope that the future of Islam in their hands will be a good future.
Second, I advise fathers and guardians to be vigilant and look with sharp insight at how the young woman uses this phone. And how does the young man use it? I told you that Allah may test His servants by making the causes of sin easy to test them, Mighty and Majestic. We have two examples: The first example is from nations before us. The second example is from the early period of this Ummah. The Jews were forbidden to hunt fish on the day of Sabbath. So when the day of Sabbath came, the fish would come to the surface of the water . On the other days of the week, they did not come. The time became long for them, so they said: We must find a trick. What trick? They said: Put a net on Friday, and the fish will come and gather in it. And when Sunday comes, take them. A trick. So what did Allah do to them? Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: . So they became apes. This Ummah was tested by Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in the early period of this Ummah. He tested them while they were in a state of ihram, forbidden from hunting, which is forbidden for one in ihram. So the game was within reach of their hands and spears. The gazelle could be reached by hand. The hare could be caught by hand. The gazelle could be held by hand. And the bird could be reached with his spear, even though birds are not caught except with arrows. And the spear, as you know, is a stick or similar with a pointed iron tip. He could reach them with his spear. Do you know what happened to the Companions? They refrained from this. None of them hunted game, even though it was easy. Now, sin has been made easy by these devices, so we must be alert. I fear that Allah the Exalted may cover us with punishment, and that He may change this security into fear, this fullness into hunger, and this clothing into nakedness, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: . May Allah protect us and you from this. Yes.
