Question

What does mufti saheb suggest regarding the use of whatsapp, BBM etc. Is it not advisable to use, or fine?

Answer

Since the use of these features are dual purpose, for both right reasons and wrong reasons, it will be advisable that one refrains from using such features unless there is a genuine need and one is sure that he will not fall into any sin.

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