Speaking to non mahrams on social media

· 14 Rajab 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We all know regarding the fitnah of phones regarding meeting a na mahram on social dating and meeting a girl. In what context does this fall as it becomes very normal in our generation?

Answer

It is a form of zina. The sin becomes even more serious when they consider it to be permissible or consider it to be something insignificant.

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

Is using social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) permissible?

“This is not permissible. Through you building a social media app where users will post pictures of animate objects, you will be involved in the sin of photography as well as inviting others to commit this grave sin.”
