00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 
			The next question
00:00:02 --> 00:00:07 
			assalamu Alikum. I'm from Kashmir.
My question is, is it halal to
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11 
			earn money from YouTube by
creating our own channel?
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20 
			starting a YouTube channel, it is
easy.
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25 
			Also starting a YouTube channel
that is halal, it is easy.
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 
			But you have to see to that it is
within the purview of the Islamic
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30 
			Sharia.
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 
			We should not break any rules of
Islamic Sharia.
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40 
			And coming to a question regarding
earning money through YouTube,
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45 
			earning money through YouTube, it
is very easy if your channel is
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48 
			popular, earning Halal money
through YouTube it is very
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52 
			difficult because you have to
abstain from everything that is
00:00:52 --> 00:00:52 
			haram.
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 
			And one of the main ways of
earning money through YouTube it
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 
			is through the ads
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 
			and you have
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07 
			profit sharing along with YouTube
sometimes 60% goes to YouTube 40%
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 
			to the user, sometimes 5050
depending upon the popularity of
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14 
			the person and depending upon the
popularity of the channel. So if
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18 
			you start a YouTube channel, the
ads that come on the channel, it
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22 
			should be halal, it should not
involve in anything that is haram.
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27 
			More than 95% of the ads on
YouTube, they involve something
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 
			that is haram they will either
have women without hijab or they
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34 
			have music. So you should abstain
from all the things that are haram
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38 
			and especially these two things,
because majority of the ads they
00:01:38 --> 00:01:43 
			have either a woman without hijab
or they have music.
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49 
			So you can very well start a
YouTube channel you can even earn
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 
			money through YouTube but you have
to see to it that it is through
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56 
			Halal means it does not involve
anything that is haram
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 
			and social media, whether it be
YouTube, whether it be Facebook,
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 
			it can be used for conveying the
message of Islam, you can reach
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04 
			1000s of people.
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11 
			So you should use this social
media, the various social media
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15 
			platforms to convey the message of
Islam to non Muslims to those who
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19 
			are unaware of it. And if you are
Nia is to start this YouTube
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23 
			channel to serve the deen
inshallah you will be rewarded
