Civil Unrest and Social Media

[About information which displeases the believer] You reject it in the heart, on the tongue and explain the truth to the people. It is not permitted to spread it and send it to others. Some ignoramus send images and want others to see it.

This is wrong!

Do you want Baatil (falsehood) to spread?

Some people spread these things on social media but they are helping to spread falsehood!

Rather, if something like this comes to you – delete it from your phone and don’t send it to others.

Subhanallah!

Questioner: many of the Muslim youth use their time to follow the news from the Kuffar to find out what oppression is taking place against the Muslims, and they spend a long time doing this…

Answer: Once you know it’s happening, what’s going to happen?

“Such and such people have done this” and “others have done that.”

What are they going to do now? Do they have a solution? Do they have anything to offer to stop it or to reduce the oppression?

They only follow these things to find out what is happening, nothing else.

Everything has to be balanced between transgression (Ifraat) and negligence (Tafreet)

Wasting your time in following these things and watching at clips with the latest information, wastes so much time and this is transgression.

And transgression is blameworthy in all things.

Transgression is to go beyond the bounds with that which is appropriate.
