Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Is Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp Haram

Is Twitter Facebook and Instagram etc haram to go on and why we

can't say it's haram to go on because there are permissible uses

of these things. However, it may be haram for you to go and based

on who you are, why you're going on what your intention is and what

you're doing on there. So it's very difficult, I'll have to know

why you're going on there for me to give a personalized answer to

you. But if there's a particular benefit of it, then of course, you

can go if there is no benefit to it, then you should avoid it.

Because there's, there's more harm on there than there is good. Let's

put it that way. So if you can be very particular, there's reasons

why, and so on. And I would personally believe that when

you're young, and you're trying to study and so on, you should avoid

it, because it's a big waste of time. I've got an older guy who's

literally struggling to get out of Facebook so you can do with it. He

sends me an email he says I finally managed to extract myself

from Facebook now I can hopefully do something extremely addictive.

So that's why you need to have a real life, not us, not a virtual

life online.
