Providing the internet to someone who uses it for lawful and unlawful purposes

· 27 Muharram 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the ruling on providing the internet to someone who uses it for lawful and unlawful purposes, given that some liken it to renting a house for a disobedient Muslim or an infidel? Is this true? What is the response to this comparison? Is there any doubt about the matter? Please clarify, as the matter concerns my parents. If there is any doubt about it, is it more important to obey one's parents?

Answer

If you are sure that he is going to use it for the wrong reasons then avoid providing it to him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
