Fariq Naik – Is it Halaal to Earn Money Creating our own YouTube Channel

The next question

assalamu Alikum. I'm from Kashmir. My question is, is it halal to

earn money from YouTube by creating our own channel?

starting a YouTube channel, it is easy.

Also starting a YouTube channel that is halal, it is easy.

But you have to see to that it is within the purview of the Islamic

Sharia.

We should not break any rules of Islamic Sharia.

And coming to a question regarding earning money through YouTube,

earning money through YouTube, it is very easy if your channel is

popular, earning Halal money through YouTube it is very

difficult because you have to abstain from everything that is

haram.

And one of the main ways of earning money through YouTube it

is through the ads

and you have

profit sharing along with YouTube sometimes 60% goes to YouTube 40%

to the user, sometimes 5050 depending upon the popularity of

the person and depending upon the popularity of the channel. So if

you start a YouTube channel, the ads that come on the channel it

should be halal, it should not involve in anything that is haram.

More than 95% of the ads on YouTube, they involve something

that is haram they will either have women without hijab or they

have music. So you should abstain from all the things that are haram

and especially these two things, because majority of the ads they

have either a woman without hijab or they have music.

So you can very well start a YouTube channel you can even earn

money through YouTube but you have to see to it that it is through

Halal means it does not involve anything that is haram

and social media whether it be YouTube whether it be Facebook, it

can be used for conveying the message of Islam, you can reach

1000s of people.

So you should use this social media, the various social media

platforms to convey the message of Islam to non Muslims to those who

are unaware of it. And if you are Nia is to start this YouTube

channel to serve the deen inshallah you will be rewarded
