Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to call the line that starts with seven hundred if the program is a fatwa program?
Answer:
I do not know if the intention behind it is exploitation and taking people's money, and you do not use it. Yes, I mean some people use these numbers to earn people's money and call fees, not out of a desire to spread knowledge and call people to Allah. Yes, and also, what kind of fatwas are these? Fatwa-giving nowadays has become such that people who are not qualified enter it, people from among the people of misguidance enter it, and the ignorant enter it. You must know who this mufti is and his level of knowledge, piety, scrupulousness, and trustworthiness. Not every fatwa is to be opened up and followed. Yes.
