Advice for those who use social media.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I would like the Shaykh to give advice to the brothers and sisters who subscribe to social media sites. What is your opinion on that? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Answer: This has led to harms, and as is well known, there is interference from misguiders, callers to misguidance, and callers to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). One should beware of social media and not use the mobile phone except for its need, for making and answering calls. As for using the phone to receive these messages, these nonsense, and these distractions, that is not permissible, and it may lead to harms.
