FaceBook Fitna

Question: There is a website called Facebook which has become well known and is widely used all over the world. On this website every person has their own page where they can write in and post up their pictures. Through the use of this website men and women are able to look at one another’s pictures and they often meet up through this website. Furthermore, it has also been mentioned on some of the newspapers and news reports that cases of kidnap, as well as adultery and fornication have increased directly because of this website. Now some of Ahlus-Sunnah have started to use this website in the name of Da’wah. So is it permissible for us to utilize this website whilst knowing all of what has been mentioned?

Answer by Shaykh al-‘Allaamah Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee hafidhahullaah:
“The Salafi does not visit this type of website. There are enough Salafi websites that they can visit.”

The time we spent on social media has dramatically increased in the last couple of years. Being attached to the Facebook’s wall and Twitter’s timeline are not the only distraction we have to our daily routines; there are still photos to like on Instagram, stories to follow on snaps, videos to check out on YouTube, and endless series of messages to interact with on WhatsApp. Social media is becoming an integral part of our professional and personal lives, it is in a constant demand on our limited mental and emotional resources.
