Question

Can we forward or send messages from mobiles based on Islam, especially Quranic ayat and Ahadis?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to send messages which contain verses of the Quran or Ahādīth. If done with the intention of disseminating Islamic knowledge one will be rewarded.[1] One should ensure that the information is from a source which is verified to be authentic.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
