View MoreThe Ruling of Using Facebook for Dawah OR Any Other Reason As’Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh The Permissibility of Using Facebook for Dawah 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 Ahl us-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 Shaykh al-'Allaamah Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee “The salafee does not visit this type of website. There are enough salafee websites that they can visit.” Shaykh Abu Umar Usaamah Utaybee of Madinah “The website facebook is from the immoral and corrupt websites. And it is said that the Jews are behind it, and Allah knows best the truth of this statement. In any case, this does not concern us. That which concerns us is, whether the practices that occur on this website are permissible in the sharee’ah. As for the use of this website for men to meet women, and the socialisation between sexes as well as the use of this site for other corrupt activities, then this is clearly impermissible. And women are weak and naive, so Messenger (ie. msn) and Chat and other similar websites and programmers harm the society, if they are used between men and women. This is completely and absolutely impermissible, due to women being weak and vulnerable. And how many cases of fornication and divorce and sin have come about due to the use of these sites. And this is something clearly recognized. Face book came to gather between the evil of all of the previous messaging programmers. So all of these programmes were surpassed by Facebook and it increased upon them (i.e. their evil). Therefore it is an immoral and corrupt website. And if you were to use it to set up a page for Da’wah, then women would enter upon your page. And this would necessitate socializing with women and speaking to them, and perhaps she may even send you her picture and this is something unavoidable in Facebook. For that reason, the use of this website is impermissible, and I advise the youth that they stay away from it completely, and that they warn against it. And the fact that the sinful people and disbelievers use this website is not a reason for us to also use it, especially when the harm it causes is greater (than the benefit). So I advise you not enter into it.” Shaykh Abu ‘Amr Al Hajooree of Yemen Our Lord The Most High says in His Noble Book وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَشۡهَدُونَ ٱلزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِٱللَّغۡوِ مَرُّواْ ڪِرَامً۬ “And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity”. And from the meanings of يشهدون to witness is يحضرون to take part in or to be present for. Allah the most high says فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْه “So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month.” Meaning is whoever is present for and takes part in (that month). So it is not permissible for any Muslim who fears Allah to use this website and take part in it. Especially due to what has been mentioned from the corruption and widespread evil which is present within it from pictures and the meeting of women as well as that which takes place because of this website from illegal * intercourse and kidnappings and other than that from the crimes which occur. So it is not permissible to use this kind of website. And by the grace and bounty of Allah anyone can create his own forum in this time which we live in. So Ahl us-Sunnah should create their own websites and forums where there is no aiding one another upon sin and transgression but rather where the people aid each other upon righteousness and piety and where the people can call to Allah to their utmost. As for taking part in these kinds of websites, even if it is thought that there is some good in it, then the evil within it is a lot worse and taking part in this website constitutes agreeing with this evil so it is not permissible to take part in it.

View MoreHajr Wiqaa'ee - Boycotting People of Innovation to Protect Oneself Allaamah Ubayd al-Jaabiree said, "Hajr Wiqaaee (الهجر الوقائي - self-protective boycotting) is when you, by your own self, boycott an innovator. You know that he is an enemy to the Sunnah and its people. And you know that his usool (foundations) are not upon the Sunnah. Then you may boycott him on your own - you do not visit him or invite him to visit you, you do not sit where he sits, you may do this." Following is modified from the comments by Br. Abul Abbas Moosaa Richardson:- Ibn 'Abdil-Barr declared a scholarly consensus (ijmaa') about this type of boycotting(i.e. Hajrul-wiqaa'ee):"And the scholars have unanimously agreed that it is not permissible for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three days unless he fears that by speaking to him or keeping ties with him that he may corrupt his Religion, or he fears that he may cause the sprouting of some harmful affairs within himself, things that harm his religious or worldly affairs. If this is the case, then there is a concession for him to stay away from him and keep distant. Quite often a good breaking of ties is better than a harmful relationship!" So beware of those who blame the Muslims for protecting themselves from the dangers of those who spread doubts and confusion. For their refusal to sit with such people or listen to them is a proof that they love Allaah's Guidance, they do not see it as being cheap, and they take the necessary measures to protect it. Know the reality of those who limit boycotting to Hajr Ta'deebee only (الهجر التأديبي - Disciplinary Boycotting), and then criticize those who practice Hajr al-wiqaa'ee, blaming them for boycotting in a way that does not bring a positive change to the boycotted individual, which is not even the intent behind hajr wiqaa'ee! They seek to divert the people from the safe, clear way of the Salaf, the way of safety and security, and lead them to the muddy, confusing paths of misguidance and innovation. They blame the Muslims for what is unanimously agreed upon by the scholars (as shown above) and what was even mentioned by the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam):"Verily the most evil people are those who the people abandon to protect themselves from their obscene behavior." (Saheeh al-Bukhaaree #6054) Note: This does not condone the mistaken practice of those with knowledge and understanding of the Religion boycotting those who are ignorant and merely mistaken. Such people are to be advised and taught, with leniency and patience.<1> If you would like to continue reading the full article here is the link http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Foru...
